Bernard, an ATAG with flue heat reclaim is very efficient indeed in DHW. You can get a super insulated cylinder that wastes little heat, but they cost. And they take up space and have complex controls on them looking like a space capsule. Read what I wrote. Overall a high flow quality combi beats a cylinder any time, when all aspects are taken into account. In small British homes, and boy are they are small, why would anyone put in a space consuming cylinder when there is no need to do so? It is madness to go that route.
An Intergas and Ferroli Modena combis do not even use the pump in the summer, saving electricity. They spin it for a few seconds once a day to prevent seizure.
