VerifiedHi my name is XXXXX XXXXX lets see if we can get you sorted in the shortest possible time. If your boiler is the same age, you may want to think about a combination boiler - there are very powerful ones now, and some with thermal stores built in. Do an internet search of anything with 40kw or more and come back to me once you have seen one you like the look of. Your system is very over-complicated at the moment, and you have the chance to simplify your whole system.
