The current setup: A system boiler with hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard upstairs. There are then water tanks in the loft that I'm keen to get out of there too.
What I would like is a new combi boiler and to rip out the old tanks in the loft and also the big hot water cylinder which would free up space.
It is a 4 bedroom house, one bathroom with bath, and one en suite which has a shower.
We would quite like to be able to have baths and shower at the same time so I'm thinking it's going to have to be a pretty powerful Combi.
What would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance for your replies.

If its 'not broke don't fix it'? Any efficiency saving from a new boiler will take decades to recover. Plus new boilers break down regularly, where the old ones keep going, as you've found.
