Replace old combi boiler?

Agreed. A Combi boiler is unsuitable for larger homes [4-5 beds] and multiple bathrooms/showers. You need a System boiler with a cylinder of suitable size [often referred to as a megaflow].

As a current portfolio Landlord and a retired Gas Safe Registered engineer, I have to agree that the only replacement would should be a Combi with a 5 year or 7 year warranty from a standard manufacturer and no economy/budget models. Main is one of those and I have just to throw one out out at the end of 5 yrs warranty.Had to have it repaired more than 5 times in 5yrs and packed up just as it was out of 5 years guarantee
All others are very expensive to install and no savings on running costs to compensate for install costs

It’s a price I have just negotiated with our gas fitter. To be honest it doesn’t seem particularly cheap to me since out of that £2200 price , the labour would be around £600 – £800 ?, not bad for a days work and he does fit maybe an average of 1 per month and over 100 certs p/a. I believe he gets his stock from the local pochin merchants.
