Savings

As you have probably already read i am installing a combi in place of my ageing Worcester boiler (15 years old at least) and a Main medway water heater (age unknown)

I know its only guesswork but what savings can i expect when the new boiler is up and running?

Sorry its taken so long to get back. I have had another quote,this guy said he can take the new pipe through from the back of the cooker where it exits the wall (22 mm) and run it from there to the garage. This is good news as it means not pulling up the floorboards in the living room and nor drilli...
