Hi,
I have recently moved into a property that I plan on renovating. The central heating system is in desperate need of changing and I have someone coming to look this weekend with a view to fitting a new system next week. The house is 280 square metres, 4 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms. It currently has 18 radiators that the system will need to heat. As the renovation progresses the majority of the radiators will be swapped for underfloor heating so the system will have to be able to adapt to the change. There's me, my wife and our 2 children living in the house so ideally we need a system that can cope with 4 back-to-back showers or 2 to 3 showers running simultaneously.
We have been recommended to have an unvented system installed. Unfortunately we have poor cold water mains pressure with a flow rate of 11-12 L per minute. I have done a bit of on-line research and am considering a Dab e.sybox pump with 500 litre e.sytank cold water storage, a Worcester-Bosch Greenstar 35 cdi classic system boiler and 300L greenstore unvented cylinder. Does anyone have any suggestions / recommendations. I've only picked Worcester-Bosch from the Which reviews. Happy for any suggestions. Is a 300L tank unvented tank likely to be large enough? Has anyone had any experience with the Dab e.sybox system or fitted it to an unvented system before? I can buy another tank to increase the cold water capacity to 1000L but this seems excessive.
Thank you for your help / input. I want to have a good idea of what is available / what I want before the plumbers come.
