Re: Change to combi-boiler?
"A combi set up does not store hot water,"... That is not strictly true. Many combi boilers, mine included, have quite a large thermal store built-in.Re: Change to combi-boiler?
I just had a Worchesssterrrrrr combi boiler fitted and it broke down in the first few days! What! Yep, well not exactly 'broke down' but lost all it's settings. It came with a room thermostat device, and a few other gubbins, with the main boiler losing it's settings after a very scarey electrical storm passed right over the house. The electricity went off and on about 3x in succession which caused the boiler to malfunction. I noticed the water wasn't hot and when I checked the boiler there was a big warning light all lit up. I eventually pressed the reset button and it worked again but the plumber had to be called to redo the timer.Re: Change to combi-boiler?
The MIL won a Worcester Combi Boiler in a competition, her existing boiler wasn't very old, but she had the new on fitted anyway. It appears to be like yours MKJ, it has a Wireless control unit, and has been nothing but trouble. In 18 months, the control unit has had to be replaced three times, talk about making stuff over complicated, the last engineer who came a couple of weeks ago set the control unit and told the MIL not to touch it under any circumstances.Re: Change to combi-boiler?

We've had a Worcester Bosch combi boiler for five or six years, have it serviced regularly and have never had a problem with it. The control unit hasn't been altered from the day the boiler was installed and is working ok.Re: Change to combi-boiler?
Re: Change to combi-boiler?
