And therein lies the problem. Using
your boiler just to heat HW
alone is a bit like putting a V8
engine into a moped.

Total tripe. Gas is approx 1/4 of the cost of electricty. You heat DHW
with gas AT ALL TIMES. A larger bopioer means a quick recovery rate.

That's why combi-boilers were invented

Combi boilers were invented by the French in the early 1960s and they were
invented to save space. Good combi's work very well, cheapo's not so well -
same will many things in life.

Ask amongst your friends and you will be surprised at the number
of people who leave the boiler on all day to keep the water hot.
Even if it's timed for an hour it will begin to cycle according
to the boiler's stat, thus wasting an incredible amount of gas.

Not if you have a quick recovery coil and two cylidner stats, it will not.

Certainly on peak-time electricity it would. However peak
electricity shouldn't necessarily be considered taboo. Take an
electric shower for example. Heavy on electricity but only for a
few minutes, offering considerable savings over a gas heated
shower arrangement.

You talk total and utter balls!!! Stop making things up.
