Evening all,
We've currently got a 15 year old Worcester Oil Heatslave 18/25 Combi, it's working fine but we're about to replace the kitchen and in order to make the kitchen work properly we either need to move the boiler by about 12" or fit a smaller one.
So I'm thinking that if we're moving it we might as well replace it at the same time as it must be towards the end of its life now.
But then I was thinking, we have an airing cupboard very close to the location of the existing boiler, so would it be worth considering to put in a system/regular boiler and an unvented cylinder instead?
The mains water pressure here is really good, too much intact as I had to fit a pressure reducing valve.
Showers off the current combo are fine, there's only two of us in a 5 bed house currently so no issue with showers running at the same time but in the future when kids are about it could be more likely.
At my last house I fitted a Valiant 837 and that managed to cope with two showers just about so am wondering if we stick with a combi and put a big one in then two showers might be OK?
The house has one bath, and three showers.
There's no way we can have solar as the house is listed so no benefit to having a solar loop in the cylinder. The electric might be useful if we ever run out of oil though.
Any thoughts or advice?
Thanks
