The oil stove is hooked up to 8 radiators and is left on the lowest setting 24 hours per day. While it's not terrible for now, it's not ideal. The reality is that the kitchen is very warm and the warm air flows to other rooms from there - radiators aren't really heating at all unless the stove is set to full power, especially those that are furthest away from the kitchen (back bedrooms).

We're looking at having this replaced with an oil boiler. Given the size of the house and just the one bathroom, should we be considering a combi boiler? Or is a condenser boiler the only way to go? Is there anything else we should be considering?
