Soldato
Just for a laugh, it takes our Ideal in the garage 1 minute and 35s to produce proper hot water in the bathroom, and a little longer (both from cold) in the kitchen. Part of this is distance (though it's only a small 2 bed bungalow), part a rat's nest of pipework left in by the installers (it was free on the Warmfront scheme for my basic pension mother about 12 years ago).
It started playing up last week so a Worcester's going in soon; same location, same pipework, because I can't afford extra disruption when I'm basically running a one person care home for my mother. I'm looking forward to finding out if we're spending £2k for an improvement. All I really want is peace of mind though, because sometimes when I need hot water, I really need it.
I'm also hoping for more consistent supply once hot water's running. The Ideal's temp dips a bit every couple of minutes in a cycle which is annoying but not unbearable. Of course since I got the plumber in on Monday the darned thing's been working perfectly; no occasional banging and no error codes. But such is life.
