Hi All
I have just viewed a property that needs upgrading (very clean but dated/old lady passed 😢) and it was listed as 'gas central heating' and it has an old 'Ideal Mexico' boiler fitted in the kitchen which is vented out of the side wall.
All rads are also old type/no fins and feed to them is 15mm, there was also a timer connected and it was powered up and had a digital display, think it was boss or honeywell?
I was thinking there would of been a HW cylinder of sorts and a cold water tank etc? But i could not find one anywhere (did not check attic space but no way could u fit a cylinder there).
What sort of system is this, i have taken pics and it seems as if there are only three 22mm pipes going to it (gas/flow/return).
What do i need to look out for, i was told it is working fine but VERY dubious....Does it feed the HW but pipes are hidden?
I just want it to be SAFE, do i just get it replaced (don't want it in kitchen in necessary) or would a service/safety check do for now?).
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks
