What all this about hot water system

Hot water is leaking from the faucet even while the hot water knob is turned all the way off. It is an older system separate knobs for hot and cold water with the diverter in the middle that goes from left to right for tub to shower. I am assuming it may just be something like the washer or something similar needs replacing but where it is not dripping from the knob itself but the faucet I wanted to ask.

I’m purchasing a home with a incomplete baseboard hot water heating system. Most of the piping is in place, as is the heating unit itself.

I would like to replace the baseboard system with a force air system using convectors in each room. Since the convectors can be used for both heating and cooling is there an independent, stand alone cooling unit I can purchase to integrate with the present heating system?

And if you can provide the make and model number of this unit and that of a heat/cool convector it would be greatly appreciated.

Hot Water System FAQ:

Hi

To my understanding, a conventional boiler heats up all the water in the tank, even if it’s not being used/needed. You can schedule when the boiler comes on with your central heating program box.

A combi boiler only heats up water when it is needed. Therefore saving you money. A disadvantage of this is that you need to run the hot tap for a bit, before the boiler has chance to kick-in and heat the water up.

Question:

If a combi-boiler comes to life by the taps being used, what is the point in scheduling the hot water on the central heating system?

Thanks in advance

Hot Water System FAQ:

I have a solar hot water system so don’t want to waste energy heating cold water for washing when I have a tank full of hot water already. Alternatively will a single inlet machine operate when fed with hot water?
