Good evening,
We are having issues with our current system, mainly around the water pressure being low and having to rely on shower pumps to get enough pressure for our showers - our second pump in so many months has just died so I'm sick of it and figured It's probably worth it in the long run to switch our boiler to some kind of pressurised system and do away with the pumps. A bonus is that I've had my eye on getting rid of our loft tank so I can actually put stuff in my loft.
I don't really know where to start in terms of getting a combi boiler, or one of the systems with a pressurised tank in the airing cupboard so was looking for advice.
How can I tell if my pipes will take a pressurised system? As far as I'm aware everything is copper. Is a pressurised tank system better than a combi or does it depend on how big my house is? If I'm making this change is it sensible to get my radiators sorted at the same time or is it an easy enough job to do them later (they aren't ancient but will need changing at some point I assume)?
FYI We currently have a Worcester Greenstar 15Ri condensing boiler fitted
The answer to most of these questions is probably "get a plumber to look at it".
Thanks
