Hi,
I moved house last year and have inherited an eccentric plumbing system..
I have a Worcester boiler 90/110 from 2001. It has no valve in system allowing me to turn off the heating though and through winter I have to run heating and hot water at same time to get heating to work. The controller for heating merely controls a circulating pump, no mechanical valve.
I currently have a very small, uninsulated hit water tank, that needs upgrading and moving to make space in a bathroom.
As far as I can see I can keep the old boiler, move a new tank into the loft and raise header tanks above (lots of ree routing of pipework).
Or replace tank with unvented hot water tank in loft (new bigger required?)
Or replace the whole lot with an oil combi boiler?
Any suggestions as to which is better option? House is old, quite large,4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 en suite.
Any advice greatly received

Thanks
Neil
