Hi,
I know very little about central heating and would be grateful for some advice. I viewed a newly built house with a relative on Saturday which they are really interested in. However, there seems to be something strange (well to me) about the heating. There is a glow warm combi boiler and radiators but the radiators are connected via thin, flexible, hose like pipes that just flap around below the radiators and disappear through holes in to the wall. Is this how radiators are connected in modern homes now days or is this a cheaper way of doing it. I have only ever come across copper pipe and I have to say that other areas of the build did not look particularly professional so alarm bells are ringing. Thank you for any advice and info.
