Here is an interesting Gov website, I had never heard of Hybrid heat pumps before.

Hybrid heat pumps

I looked at various Fischer options that would allow us to cease using loft water tanks. There were quite a few quite different options with electric boilers, or heat storage water tanks but the limitations of the airing cupboard and water supply cropped up again, and I’m not ready for an all electric combi.

When we moved into our bungalow we rip out the floor boiler it was condemmed in a week it was leaking gas and the water tank in the loft was next , and put a Intergas combi boiler with a remote setup . we now get hot water on demand and instant heating so far it works great .

If your gas boiler is "condemned" which ever fitter made the declaration failed in their legal duty to isolate the appliance, and seal the gas supply to prevent any possible danger including future leaks.

When my son was”on the tools” at BG it was a dismissal offence if a boiler like BB’s wasn’t disconnected and a Danger do not use etc sticker applied. In fact I believe the Gas Safe Certification demands the same level of safety and action.

Yes BG did that in my BIL house when we prepared it for sale as the lounge gas fire was old beyond belief with cracked ceramics.

We contacted gas emergency and they came to our bungalow and checked the boiler and they Condemned and disconnected Danger do not use label on it because it was leaking through the main gas valve .

BG renewed a main in my sisters street. When they turned the gas back on, each house had to be safety checked. They condemned my sister’s ornamental gas fire, (this was a long time ago). They told her, (very rudely), it was fitted very badly and that she should complain to whatever 2nd rate company who fitted it. She immediately found the receipt which shows it was fitted by British Gas. That left a rather embarrassed inspector.
