Hi guys! We recently bought a place (top 6th floor flat) with systems boiler in place, cold and hot water tanks in the cupboard and a pump.
The pump and the boiler turned out to be broken so we asked our plumber whether we should switch to combi instead of replacing the systems one. He said that the water pressure was too low for the combi, that’s why we are stuck with tanks and systems boiler.
We called in another plumber for a second opinion and he was all for installing combi – he didn’t actually measure the mains water flow/pressure but checked the taps and said it would be more than enough and that he personally would not think twice about installing the combi.
I am inclined to trust the second guy more but I don’t know whether it’s because he is saying what I want to hear.
I would really appreciate any advice on this.
