HELP PLS!: Query on existing plumbing in my home

[chico1974]

Hi All

My home (3 bed semi- built 1930s) central heating runs off a baxi back-boiler. All heating system was installed late 80s/ early 90s. The back-boiler is serviced by British Gas yearly and it is in really good condition

My Question is, as i am replacing my whole bathroom suite in a few weeks;
1) Do I at this stage change the heating system to a combi boiler now or when I come to extend the rear of the house (single storey) next year

2) If I do wait installing a new combi boiler until I extend the house next year, will I need to replace the heating pipes in my new bathroom at that point in time? or are these pipes & others fitted in every room of my home (fitted around late 80s/ early 90s) okay to use on a new combi system

Please note: The current bathroom shower runs off a pump

Cheers

1) Do I at this stage change the heating system to a combi boiler now or when I come to extend the rear of the house (single storey) next year icon_biggrin.gif

why a combi

2) If I do wait installing a new combi boiler until I extend the house next year, will I need to replace the heating pipes in my new bathroom at that point in time? or are these pipes & others fitted in every room of my home (fitted around late 80s/ early 90s) okay to use on a new combi system
