Hello there
Earlier this year my partner and I moved into a twenty year old three bedroom house, which has an original Potterton Suprima 40 boiler (downstairs, in the kitchen) and an original BoilerMate 2 upstairs. As far as we know, these have been regularly serviced (BG Homecare). Twenty years seems a reasonable lifespan for a boiler and hot water system so we're thinking of replacing them. Our neighbour has recently replaced his BoilerMate (which started leaking) with an unvented hot water cylinder.
Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions as to what our best options might be? I'm guessing we could go for:
1. A combi boiler.
2. A new conventional boiler and "ordinary" vented cylinder.
3. A new conventional boiler and unvented cylinder.
Have I missed anything out? We don't use masses of hot water and we're not looking for anything too cutting edge/state of the art, just a reliable system that can be easily serviced (we're insured with British Gas Homecare). Oh, our boiler also heats the water for the radiators. Any comments, suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks
