Why exactly is this? Its a no-brainer in my opinion.There alot more popular in the uk than they are here
Speaking as someone still stuck in immersion land and concerned about leaving it on and triggering a thermonuclear explosion that will take out half the area...
Is there any drawback? Is it more expensive to buy \ install?
Why exactly is this? Its a no-brainer in my opinion.
On demand hot water, no heating a full tank of water unnecessarily or even heating a tank of water when you dont even need it because the heating is on... and also, the dreaded immersion!!!!
I got a combi boiler in recently & the water flow upstairs wasnt good enough to kickstart the boiler, so i ended up having to pay more for a pump. Im still glad i got it, great to get rid of a cylinder in hot press, house heats up quicker & bills cheaper. I kept the electric shower. Im in kimmage dub 12The main reasons they're not as popular here is that incoming water pressure generally isn't up to the job and there are also issues with limescale..
Thinking of feeding the main shower from this with a pump if necessary for a nice power shower.
Combi boilers might have changed since I got mine 12 years ago, but when mine was installed they couldn't be combined with an additional pump as it's already a pressurised system. The installer did a pressure test on the taps to ensure that it was sufficient for a combi boiler to be installed.
I wouldn't be without the combi boiler, no waiting for water to heat up, no running out of hot water mid shower/bath, no oil tank and no immersion heater. Pressure wise it's definitely not as good as a pumped power shower, but miles better than a standard electric shower and I just have an adjustable shower head for a stronger jet when required. The pressure does drop the higher you turn the temperature, so if you like your shower scalding it might not be ideal!!
