In small houses (what many of us proles have to live in, even if you live
ina a mansion) the space used by a HW cylinder, and tanks in the roof, is
valuable enough to make a combi attractive.

Also if the existing system has gravity circulation on the DHW side then
the extra cost of converting to fully-pumped can swing it in favour of a
combi when the boiler's being replaced. (Depends on pipework layout, and,
of course, whether a combi is suitable for the water demands of the
household.)

Keep It Stupid Simple is always the way to go. Minimum technology to
achieve requirements.


Some on this ng seem intent on Simply Keeping It Stupid.
