My son has an Istor combined boiler and HW cylinder - installed when the house was built about six years ago.
He has just phoned me to say that water marks are appearing on the ceiling under the boiler, which is on the second floor of the house. He has taken the cover off the HW cylinder and thinks there is a leak in the pipework. The GSR who services the boiler is on his way. However he has said that, if the cylinder has gone, a new one will cost over £1700.
If this is the case, are there any alternatives?
Would it be possible to keep the boiler part and install a different (cheaper!) cylinder?
Would a new boiler and cylinder be better/cheaper?
The boiler/tank is in its own cuppboard, so the space is limited.
