Hi,
I have a 2 bed flat which has an Ideal system boiler coupled with an unvented hot water cylinder. Due to it's location, the boiler has a twin flue setup. The boiler has packed up so I need to have it replaced with another twin-flue boiler. This limits the choice somewhat and I'm thinking of going for a Keston 30kW boiler.
I noticed that the price difference between a system and combi versions is just £100. I'm happy to pay the extra if it can be of any advantage: I'm thinking I could in the future have the HW cylinder removed to free up storage space in the airing cupboard and simplify the plumbing. The Keston should be able to deliver a healthy flow rate for a flat.
My question is: can the combi be installed without connecting the secondary HW pipes in the meantime?
If the anwer is no, the secondary system has to be connected up, I have a secondary question:
Can the output from the HW cylinder be fed into the boiler input so that the two circuits are connected in series?
