Hi, I am looking for some advice if I may about a job I may be having done soon by a plumber.
I am thinking of having an Unvented hot water cylinder installed, called a megaflow, and it will give me mains pressure hot water.
The plumber is also going to make my cold water mains pressure at all taps, the shower and also at the toilet.
He reckons the job will take no more than 1 day. What he has told me he is doing is:
removing the cold water tank from the loft and associated pipework to and from it. Joining the megaflow to the mains cold water, the hot water will be taken from the top part of the megaflow, and joining the pipes from the boiler to the new megaflow cylinder to heat the water.
The central heating and boiler will remian the same as before.
The megaflow cylinder will sit in the airing cupbaord where the old hot water cylinder was, obviously the old one will go.
Apparently he needs to drill through my bathroom wall (through the airing cupboard) to run a combined pressure pipe or something, in case of a future fault with the cylinder! Don't know if this is required?
The cost which I have been told it will cost is: £1,950. Is this a good deal?
Any advice/info would be great...
