Hi everyone.
New to plumbing so excuse the noob questions?
Would like to replace existing heating system with a new indirect system boiler (unvented pressure system) and need some advice before I plunge into company quotes.
Existing system is a Conventional Gas Boiler System with hot water cylinder, pump, cold water tank in the loft. It is working fine but due to loft conversion and renovation the loft installations will be removed or relocated (hot water cylinder, water tanks and existing expansion tank) and ideally we relicate the boiler too.
Can I keep the very ‘old’ boiler (Potterron Profile 50e) , hot water tank and existing radiators and any of the plumbing providing the pipes are ok for increased pressure?
In total there will be 12 radiators(8 existing ones) and 2 bathrooms + kitchen and availability will be for 250l max for a new cylinder from my math in a cupboard or a utility room at the ground floor.
The house is a semid bungalow, 4 beds with a total of 100-110sqm.
On the other hand i am still researching what brands to go for. Megaflo seems ok but expensive and complicated. I am for a simpler system evwn if it means additional expansion vessel.
I am researching combi too but if price diff is 1k range for a complete new system as i’ve heard from various builders will go for the system one.
I haven’t seen around combis with a water tank included as are Ferolli ones in EU. I had that in a similar size home on the continent and it eas brilliant for our needs.
the confusion comes from when reading a book ‘Bible for self Builders’ where the conventional and system have literally same components. I know devil is in details ...
I am also adept of doing it once instead of lifting the floorboards and drilling after a year or two when existing system fails.
Thanks
