is it possible to zone upstairs/downstairs

[soccercelt]

I have a 2400sq ft house, 3 beds, bathroom,ensuite upstairs and same downstairs with living room, dining kitchen. I have a 30kw stove along with an oil burner for my heating. Gravity feed opened system. Is it possible i could zone downstairs and upstairs for my different heating needs. Wife and kids will spend most of the day downstairs and instead of running about turning rads of and on every day is it possible i could install something that will just make the heating heat downstairs then when needed, turn it on for upstairs.

Someone mentioned it can be done but ill need stats up and downstairs. If so, how do these work and whats involved in the install.

To answer your question,your plumber should be able to tell you about Zoning not asking here we can't see it but we are trying to picture the job ,he is there he can tell you we are trying to help to be honest we would have the stove in working and finished quicker then this post is taking just leave it to your plumber

If a house was already plumbed in plastic and they wanting a stove upgrade, how would you upgrade it without ripping all plastic out.

Engineer!

Just to answer this again, I will not be installing this stove. 3 reasons why, i would not put my families life in danger because i dont know much about stoves and i know, if plumbed incorrectly, they can explode! Secondly its illegal! Thirdly i own a 250 thousand pound house and if there was ever an explosion because of a faulty installed stove, my insurance will be void!

Now can you answer me this question instead of always swerving it. Are you telling me that it is not possible for a stove to be plumbed to the cylinder in copper with 2 meters leaving the cylinder into plastic to feed the rads and hot water. Remember, its a long enough run from the stove to cylinder. If it cant, WHY not .

Are you also saying that a pipe cant leave the stove, go down under the floor and up the wall, if so WHY.

250 thousand pound house eh, just sold a 2 bed flat for that.

And if I may, I believe your tone in your posts here have put people off helping.

The return pipe CAN be put lower than stove and back up to it, but only if it has correct fall - therefore carefully installed. Not sure why though it was installed like that from above.

O here we go, billy big balls 250grand house owned outright is alot of money where i come from and again, no need to throw the thread on a different direction.

What approach would that be. I came to ask about can i zone the house into 2 sections and its spiraled somewhere else. I ask questions and they dont get answered. Ill ask you the same question since this is what a forum is for,

Why not just ask your plumber, Richard Cranium.

It's obvious you have no interest in receiving the correct information with regard to the twinning of a stove with an oil boiler and it's impacts on your hot water and heating system.

Your problem is far more basic than zoning or stove install.

It's all about having the grace and lack of ego to accept it and listen to people who know and do this for a living.

The main thing, is it safe. There is a fall in the pipe.
