I'm hoping to get some advice about what type and size of boiler to get to replace current boiler.

Property was built around 2000.

Currently have a magflo cylinder upstairs and an ideal classic boiler in the garage. One bathroom (with one thermostatic shower and bath), one ensuite with one thermostatic shower and 13 radiators.

Should I go for a replacement systems or heat only boiler as recommended by the plumber s who've quoted? What are the adv and disadv of both for this type of property? What size boiler should I get as i have been quoted for 18 and 24/28/30?

Is it worth getting a combi? What's the best place to place it as being quoted almost a grand to replace in garage. Have no utility room and don't want it in the kitchen. Could it be placed upstairs where the cylinder currently is?

Many thanks as it's an expensive replacement and want to get it right as getting conflicting advice.

Get a few more quotes, if the system worked well and no other components need renewing just replace like for like and keep in garage. Moving it elsewhere would surely cost more wouldn't it, no need for a combi.
