Replacing an aga - what to do about hot water

So we want to get rid of our aga but it currently runs our hot water. Has anyone done this and roughly what was involved/what was the cost?

thanks!

yes - with a rayburn. But we were moving the kitchen and installing new boiler / heating system linked with a new woodburner as well as oil boiler back up. All included with building works so difficult to identify costs.

You will have to identify a location for a boiler - we have been advised that ours will need to be floor standing so it is taking up a fair chunk of a utility room.

We already have a fairly new boiler which fires the central heating so its just the hot water we need to sort.

But one have spent half an hour on phone today with someone very knowledgeable and he's given me various options including installing a megaflo cylinder.

Thank you for your reply

Megaflo is good storage of hot water at high pressure so you get good pressure from taps and no need for a cold tank. It does need to be serviced and have an emergency outlet - we woke one morning to find running steaming hot water streaming out of ours. Not a problem as you turn off the outlet valve, but for that reason we haven't put one in our holiday house in case the same thing happened when we weren't there!
