[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 372264, member: 6969"] I know exactly what you mean about that. My Mother in law's house had an old system boiler and hot water tank in a downstairs cupboard. They had it replaced by British Gas with a combi boiler. It was the most shocking job I had ever seen. Quite apart from the use of plastic pipe which looked awful as the runs up the wall don't lie straight like copper. They had piped the hot water from the combi to where the old tank was and left the old hot water distribution in place. The result was although the boiler was very close to the kitchen, the hot water had to travel to the middle of the house and back again taking ages for the hot water to get to the tap. but I guess they just did what was easiest for them, instead of what was technically best.
