Combis - no backup

[Christian McArdle]

I heard that they cost nothing at all to purchase or maintain and are all whisper quiet.

Sort of thing you'd be proud to have in your living room......

Well have 2000 litres stored in the roof and a full genny backup if you want to go that far.

[IMM]

A square box fits well and better into a cupboard. Silly cylinders have all sorts of boiler room crap hanging off them.

You haven't a clue.

[IMM]

If you want full backup stick a portable in the garage hanging on the wall.

[IMM]

Where can I get one?

[Andy Hall]

OK. So we can remind you of that next time you propose one of your harebrain heatbank schemes with three pumps, lots of valves and pipework.......

I think that that might make your SIP panels disintegrate to matchwood.

Should I build a water tower in the garden as well?

[IMM]

In many cases a packaged solutions are available. Very nice and neat with all inside one case. the powermax, combi's and much of then Gledhill products are in neat casings.

[IMM]

No it would not. SIPs are ultra strong. You didn't read did you. The e.g of Kobe in Japan.

[IMM]

Depends on how far you want to go. A combi with an in-line instant electric heater is fine, with a few fan heaters stored in the loft.

[Andy Hall]

Not for last week's scheme that you made up as you went along. Unless you are manufacturing in your garage of course.

With an extra 2 tonnes above the design spec.?

[IMM]

What one was that?

[IMM]

SIPs would handle 2 tons extra with ease. They are famed for their strength

[Pete C]

With a storage combi it would be good to be able to fit an immersion heater to the internal store, as a backup to the gas supply and boiler itself.

For a short power cut the internal store should have enough hot water to run a shower.

cheers, Pete.

[Andy Hall]

I guess that you have a short memory like your hero.

That's good to hear. No doubt it isn;t necessary to do structural calculations either, they are that good.....
