Hi all, I'd like some advice on the following;
I have a 10yo Halstead boiler and has gravity feed HW and pumped rads. Have a room stat that controls the pump and no stat on the HW cylinder.
This all works very well for our needs, we always need and use HW and the heating goes on and off via the room stat as required.
All the reading I do about this "old type" of system is that it's very inefficient so I'm wondering what savings will I make by changing to a fully pumped system ?
I know this is a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question but wondering if anyone can give a % saving based on their own situation.
My current system is very simple and it's working well so do I need to fix what aint broke ?
Thanks in advance... Ray
ps. What started this off was I'm looking at a DIY solar installation and was checking out the new HW cylinder connections etc !
