Hello,
My partner and I are due to complete on our first house which has a back boiler in the sitting room fireplace with a gas fire front.
The water tank is situated in the sitting room around 4-5 metres away from the boiler. We would want to move this either to the kitchen or upstairs to a cupboard as it is unsightly in its current location.
We would appreciate help with the following. (Please forgive any ignorance or incorrect terminology on our part. We have no idea of what is involved and what would be realistic!)
Would it be possible to remove the back boiler and install a wood burning boiler stove connected to existing/modified pipework in its place?
We would want a combi boiler for back up heating/hot water which we would want to install in the kitchen next door. Could the combi boiler be connected to provide a limited supply of hot water to the tank when the wood burner is not in use? Would moving the water tank make any difference to the above?
We would appreciate any and all help in helping us avoid looking like complete twits when we eventually contact the professionals.
Many thanks.
