Gas & Electricity

Had ours done about 5 years ago - we had a back boiler that was "inefficient" but never went wrong with regular servicing. Had a new combi fitted - only place we could have it so it could vent was in the loft - thats handy as I get older not. I am sure this is probably more efficient but tbh regular price rises since negate any efficiencies and make me doubt the wisdom of doing it.
You shouldn't be going anywhere near the boiler so the fact that it's in the loft shouldn't make any difference I'd have thought?

The price rises would apply to the old inefficient back boiler as well so savings in cost still apply. Your capital costs were presumably paid 5 years ago so I think you're in a good place to be honest.

Not true mate if you need to push up the pressure it handy to have it where you can get to it.
 
Requested a reduction in my dd, 34 to 81 is too much of a jump, they are assuming i will be having the heating or electric radiator on like last winter when i wont

Don't think ur water pressure is good enough for that.
 
Might it be better to get a heat pump if a boiler is going to be expensive anyway? Not sure if there are any kind of grants to help with costs, but it might be worth having a look before forking out £4k for a boiler.
Your house has to be well insulated and to get the best of it, wet underfloor heating. You can do it with normal rads but you need to upsize them or so I’m told.
We have decided the only way we are leaving the current house is in a box so are biting the bullet and getting solar fitted to one side of the house. The installers believe we can get 10kW of panels on the south facing roof and we have now asked them to price for a mixture of a solar battery and thermal store. The idea being it charges the battery first, then any further excess energy it heats a water tank and finally anything left it sticks back in the grid.
