Hi All,
I was just going to have my boiler (its a worcester danesmoor 15/19) replaced with a new efficient oil boiler (worcester xx).
However because if the ever increasing cost of Oil, I thought I would research Air Source.
My system runs off the worcester and I have a cylinder upstairs which is vented into the cold water tank in the roof. About 3 years ago an extra 2 pumps were added to the system (one for HW and one for CH) to cope with the extra radiators and hot water demand.
My questions are;
1. To heat the hot water from the air source i could just connect it up to another take off on the existing cylinder? But how do I connect it to the CH? I have been told an accumulator could do both? what are your thoughts on this and what accumulator's could I look at? Also what alternatives do I have?
2. How far away from the Air Source pump can the boiler and cylinder be?
3. Do I need any other equipment to control this hybrid system?
Sorry for all the questions, would like to just get it clear in my mind so I can effectively out it together.
Cheers
