Advice on New Boiler needed

[Dazzlepad]

I recently moved into a house which has a very old Servo Warm master radiator system which I would like to replace as it is very ineffecient and ugly and is located in the living room.
I would be very grateful for any advice as to a suitable replacement and what locations I can install the new boiler. A couple of options I have considered are a floor mounted boiler in the kitchen or wall mounted in the downstairs bathroom.
It is a 3 bedroom house with the main bathroom downstairs and a shower room upstairs. The hot water cylinder (indirect) is also downstairs and the hot water is pumped throughtout the house.

my hse had one about 100 years ago.i put my boiler above the cylinder.
keep it all next to each other to reduce unneeded pipe and electrical runs.

The only thing next is, have you got the crap pipes install in the 80s if so
when altering pipe work you may start a run of leaking pipes

be on your guard.

good luck mate

Thanks for the advice guys. Above the cylinder is not an option as it is in a cupboard under the stairs and there is no room. I think a combi is also out of the question as I need to pump the hot water to get it upstairs as cylinder is downstairs.

you wont need a cylinder with a combi

Do you have a shower in the down stairs bathroom, if so a combi is not an option, it will not cope with muliple hot water draw offs. You could get a stored water combi, but I would consider a system boiler with either pump & cylinder or an unvented cylinder. Make sure your working pressure and flow rate from the main are checked regardless.
