Hi all,
I live in a modern house, and I am not sure whether the water system the builders installed is efficient cost wise.
Basically, we have a cold water tank in the attic where the cold water is fed to. Then on the first floor airing cupboard we have an immersion copper boiler to heat hot water, there's also two actuators (one for the central heating and one for the hot water) in the airing cupboard.
Then in the utility room downstairs there's a Vaillant combi boiler that has a timer attached to control the central heating and hot water times.
We also have two mixer showers in the bathrooms upstairs.
My question was can I run the whole hot water / central heating from just the combi boiler?
I was thinking of removing the copper boiler from the airing cupboard to make some stairs to the attic, and remove the cold water tank from attic to make a further bedroom in the attic.
Would this make my water system more efficient if I remove those "unnecessary" items. Or are the copper boiler and cold water tank required?
