Is it possible to have both a combi boiler and a conventional boiler?
Would it be possible to have a combi boiler as your main water source and then a conventional boiler with a cylinder as a back-up water system should your combi boiler fail.
Doesn’t matter about cost I just want to know 1) is it possible and 2) what are the implications.
(this would be on new build houses).
Thanks in advance.

Installing a modern condensing gas combi-boiler could save you one third on your gas costs. A central heating gas fired boiler needs to be able to deliver sufficient hot water to heat your house and supply hot water for washing. After fifteen years your central heating boiler will have passed its useful lifetime and start to become ineffective. As boiler technology improves current examples are more economic than those installed in older homes. The SEDBUK rating gives an indication of the efficiency of a gas fired boiler with A being very cost-efficient and G being very uneconomical. Noticing that this it could be cost effective to exchange your gas boiler… Read the rest of this ......
