I am having a house rennovation done at the moment which includes a loft conversion and rear extension. The property is in London and it's a 5 bedroom house and will have 4-5 bathrooms. We are going to have wet underfloor heating throughout the ground floor which will also have an extension. As part of the refurb i'd like to replace the existing central heating systen/boiler (standard gas with a cylinder). I've heard that gas boilers are likely to be phased out in the future. I've also been told that a combi boiler would be ok for 1-2 people having showers at the same time but not for 3-4 (seems pointless having 5 bathrooms if they cant be used them together at peak times!). Heat pumps seem to be in the news however we can't justify the costs involved. I understand that a system boiler and pressurised cylinder would work however I guess that would still be gas based and also requires a large space for the cylinder. Any advice much appreciated.
