I have a question with regards to the increasing popularity of combination boilers within our block of residential flats.
Our property was converted in the early eighties and each of the ten flats installed with a conventional gas ch system. In the last three years or so I understand that two combination boilers have been installed replacing the previous systems. Because a combi boiler requires a minimum water pressure of 1 bar (sometimes more) am I right in thinking that additional combi instals will have a reducing effect on the available water pressure and perhaps render the prevailing pressure insufficient to meet the requirements for subsequent installations?
In other words, once the building has had four or five combi boilers, is it possible that this could be the limit possible in the property?
What gives me extra cause for concern is that Thames Water are rumoured to be reducing the water pressure over the coming months, diminishing the pressure further.
