"Hi. This depends on many factors.
Size of your home, how many people stay there, hot water and heating usage, controls, amount of radiators, etc. I personally have experience with combi, they are not too bad, but it depends on each individual household."

"This is down to what controls you have fitted in your Home? Not the Boilers?

"I would say that the combination boiler would be the best, however it would depend on your hot water requirements. If you have a high demand on hot water then the running cost will increase."

"Ideal boilers are bullet proof, fit over a hundred per year and if installed properly and serviced annually you can realistically expect ten years with not a foot wrong"
