Hi
I bought a flat which had a brand new central heating with new gas boiler.
After we moved in my plumber came round to check the system before switching it on. To our horror we found one major problem, no gas !! They had never connected it !
The flat is in a converted house, there are 3 other flats all with gas.
I thought it would be a simple connection to the existing supply but the gas people wont add another meter to the pipes, need a brand new supply. So after getting a quote from the gas people it looks like a £1500 job. We decided to bite the bullet but now the freeholder is kicking off and demanding money for a survey which really doesn't need doing and I think he's going to insist on using his plumber for any work outside (and charging stupid money!).
So I'm looking at electric boilers
The flat has 4 rads, kitchen and bathroom sink and bath. I don't have a water tank.
I know nothing about these boilers and my plumber has never fitted one but seems to think it will be easy, my electrician can do the wiring.
Can anyone recommend a reasonable priced boiler that will do the job. Only one I've looked into is the Redring PSA12 Powerstream Ascari C/Heating & Hot Water Flow Boiler but will this work without a storage tank (do any electric ones work without one ?) . Any others ?
any advise would be gratefully accepted !
hope this makes sense ! sorry
