We have a (very) old central heating system installed with a conventional floor mounted boiler and hot water storage tank in an airing cupboard.
It is undoubtedly very inefficient but it works well and has caused no problems (apart form a replacement pump) in the 15 years we have been at the house.
I have no intention of replacing the boiler until I have to, but would like to make the current set up as efficient as I can.
The current Hot water storage is a copper cylinder with an insulating jacket around it. I wondered what the advantages would be of replacing the cylinder with a more modern one with moulded insulation? Would any savings result from doing this once I factor in the cost of supplying and fitting the new cylinder?
Thanks
