Whooa read op properly, do not fit a new condensate back boiler, had 3 quotes for our new system,all 3 plumbers said that the new baxi back boilers are s%&• not very good,and wouldnt fit one.

OK thanks for your comments......

Combi or new boiler? in loft or airing cupboard, the latter utilising current tanks which are all ok.........

System boiler, runs central heating and hot Water, and still keep hot water tank,in airing cuboard, boiler in loft,out the way,fitted to wall condense pipe straight into stack pipe flue straight out the wall,remote wireless room stat for central heating,and 24/7 programmer.

Is this the better option, rather than a combi?................

That's what I have - a condensing system boiler, as opposed to a condensing combi. Still need a condensate drain off though ...

If you have a hot water tank already and more than two bedrooms then I would seriously avoid a combi every time.

Yep, if you think of the difference between Combis and System boilers as 2 cars.  One is used for courier work in a big city, so its starting up and stopping all day long, mostly for very short bursts.  The other is used for a daily hour long commute up the motorway and back at a steady  speed and constant revs.

Both are serviced regularly, but which do you think will last longer?
