Would it cost more to run central heating with an unvented hot water
cylinder and system boiler or a combi boiler with no HWC?
R.
The CH will cost about the same.
The hot water may cost a bit more than with the combi depending on how
efficient it is at heating the water at the desired flow rate vs the
heat loss from the hot water tank. A well insulated tank may cost about
2p a day in heat loss, a poor one 25p a day.
The 2p loss sounds incredibly low. Do you have a make/model in mind that
could keep water that warm?
Anything with 100mm of foam should manage that. Its almost a kw hour.
