I had a plumber round to give us a quote for a complete re-plumb of totally stripped out house.
I had toyed with doing a lot of it myself but want to end up with an efficient low running cost system and am happy to pay the extra for someone who can recommend and install an effective system with the right stats controls etc.
Its a small detached bungalow well insulated and we'll be putting in a 30KW ish combi.
He is giving us a price for both a standard sealed system and a system which he has started installing recently which I had never heard of. Basically every rad being piped back to a manifold at the boiler but all done in 15mm. The other advantage is no joints under the floors which are suspended wood and insulated between joists.
Every room then has its own thermostat. Does anyone have any experience with this arrangement or care to offer any opinions on it? I realise the initial cost will be higher.
Its just me and the wife for the forseeable and we are quite low energy users.
Thanks
