Replace or Fix Heating system?

Chezell

Hi..I am looking for some advice on whether to replace or fix my central heating.
My back boiler (Baxi) is at least 20 years old with what I can gather is a standard set up (Hot water cylinder/radiators/expansion tank etc)
Yesterday the hot water cylinder sprung a small leak and it looks like I need a new one..
But do I replace the cylinder and have boiler serviced descaled etc
or
do I go the whole hog and replace with a combi..

I would like some advice as I know nothing..being a blonde lol
and would appreciate some advice as to where to start.

Thanks in anticipation

i would replace the baxi BBU with a new combi boiler and get rid of all the tanks/cylinders too.
we did this 4 yrs ago now. never looked back. gas bills are far lower.

You don't say how big your house is. A combi is only suitable up to a certain size and even then has its limitations if you have more than one bathroom (eg an ensuite as well).

Your cylinder may not need replacing if its just a joint thats weeping although it will if its the main body of the cylinder thats gone.

You need to get someone round to discuss the options with you on site.

Cheers
