• What are the advantages to this, over just having a suitably powerful combi boiler?

    I’m scratching my head trying to convince myself that a ~40KW combi will suffice for our new family bathroom, downstairs toilet and 35m2 wet underfloor heating…

  • It’ll be overkill I suspect. You actually want a combi to be condensing and running at capacity rather than over size. The actual limiter is the flow rate for cold supply when looking at multiple showers etc

  • Worst case scenario in our case:

    Filling bath, showering, washing up and whole-home heating running full blast simultaneously. ~150m2 4-bed over 3 floors with 9x rads and 35m2 underfloor heating. 1x family bathroom, 1x small toilet room.

    Which advantages would having a system with tank bring, over and above just an appropriately-specced combi?
