Hi All, i'm new to this forum and though not a complete novice at plumbing I'm about to embark on a large project (for me that is) and would appreciate some of your expert advice before i start spending the cash on the materials
I have bought an old house (to retire in) and i intend installing a central heating system. My wife and i will be the sole occupants of the house with visitors occasionally. The house is a 3 bedroom, 3 shower / bathrooms bungalow, double glazed throughout. There is a hallway that runs down through the length of the house, approx 20M long with rooms going off to either side. I plan to install a woodburning stove in the lounge / dining room, an lpg tank and a Worcester Greenstar 30CDi Conventional Regular HE Boiler LPG Gas boiler, open vent system.
I intend running a 22mm, i believe its called a manifold, right down the hall and taking 15mm spurs of it to run in total 12 radiators, 3 towel rails and also heat a 140ltr hot water tank in the loft
I have been trawling the internet for days now reading and reading up about it untill my eyes are going wonky. Not to mention the heat loss calculator driving me around the twist
Do you think the boiler will have enough ooomph to run everything and do you think the hot water tank is to big/small.
Please excuse me if i have some of the terminology wrong. Thank you all in advance
