Dear All,
I'm wondering how much it might cost to replace an old boiler (Non-condensing) with a new regular/system boiler for a two bedroom house. And what's best way to do it.
The old boiler at the moment is positioned in the under stairs storage room. I was told if the new boiler goes in the same place, a condensate pipe would have to run though the wall to kitchen then go over the cupbard (so close to the ceiling) to reach the outside wall.
In addition I was told the easy way is to run it directly to the outlet instead of to an existing waste pipe.
This sounds rather dreadful to me. After a bit googling, it seems a layout like this might require a pump since it goes upward and it'd be more prone to freeze.
I would like the boiler to be replaced in the Kitchen and connect to the sink pipe but the Kitchen is a bit small so not sure if this would be possible. I also have no idea how much the extra pipework of connecting it to exisitng Rads and shower and taps could cost.
I understand the actual cost could vary a lot but would appreciate an estimate on how much it might cost either way.
Thanks a lot!
Brian
