Is there a Dual fuel combi avaiable?

[Odd Job]

Can someone tell me if these are available?

i've googled but don't find much.

I have a gas Baxi for central heating and also electric heated water, I don't want to be reliant on one fuel.

I will loose the water heater with electric if i go all gas combi.

Is there anything on the market that will allow both?

thanks

Yes, you could fit an in line water heater but the flow rate would be much lower than the combi, Triton used to do one, needs a 30A supply, flow rate about 3 litres per min.

I'm not sure what you are on about. Information would be useful. Do you want electric backup for DHW only? Do you have a combi? Do you want to switch all your CH/DHW from electric to gas at will?

The latter is done via thermal store/heat bank.

Within the last month there was thread on in-line backup electric water heaters on on combi and where to get them.
