[QUOTE="roys, post: 192618, member: 5044"] Just to throw another thought in. Do you have a South ish facing roof? If you are going to fit a new cylinder why not fit one with twin coils with one of them being a solar coil. Couple of solar thermal panels on the roof and then I bet your boiler would hardly be on for 6 months of the year. In winter it does a nice job of preheating the water so saving a lot of energy, my solar system on average will preheat the water to about 20 degC in winter. It is great just now as my water is up about 55 degC just on the solar. A simple twin panel drainback system is not too expensive. If you want more details on the sytem I got fitted just let me know.
