Would really appreciate some advice. We currently have warm air heating with prismatic water cylinder in an airing cupboard in the bathroom. We are looking to re-fit the bathroom and the plumber has suggested replacing the prismatic cylinder with an unvented water cylinder in the loft - this would then allow the airing cupboard to be removed to make way for a shower cubicle and would provide a good water feed for the shower. I am a little concerned about having this in the loft - is this a good idea and are these units safe?
We have posted before on this forum when we were considering changing the warm air to a wet system. Whilst we received lots of helpful info, there was lots of conflicting ideas on the system we should go for and we ended up keeping the warm air. The plumber has suggested the other option would be to change to a wet system with combi boiler (we have 4 bed 70's detached house with one bathroom, cloakroom, kitchen and utility room) but I think the advice on here before was that combi boilers are not too good in this type of property.
So, just wondering whether to go with the unvented in the loft or keep the old prismatic and stick with an electric shower over the bath.
Thanks for any help.
