Combi Boiler in a new dormer extension {loft}

[davidmadona80]

Hello esteemed experts,

I have been thinking about this and thought to get some advice here to see whether it offers any advantages if Boiler is fitted in the recent dormer extensions done.

I have 2 dormers done { 2 houses converted into one } and I have nice brick wall in the middle where I can get this installed.

The benefit I i see is radiators would get good force due to gravity and pump would have to work less compared to if it was in the Kitchen. In term of hot shower water, it would be short run if Its installed in Loft/Dormer compared to Kitchen.

Can you please tell me if this can be done and what are the things I would need to consider for this, Many thanks

Radiator circulation does not depend on gravity, the location of the pump is irrelevant.
Positioning a combi boiler nearer to the hot water outlet would be sensible - assuming a combi boiler is the correct choice in the first place.

Biggest requirement of a combi is have it as close as possible to its main point of hot water usage then you are not running off lots of cold tepid water before ut gets up to temp.

As for your theory of pump working less hard ,, it still has to pump it back up to boiler
