Thanks to everyone who gave me advice on the last posting
I have an exisiting warm air system johnson and starley j54-64 (must be over 25 years old at least)
The Fan unit has burnt out
I would like to upgrade it to something a little more efficient and powerful
I need to keep the cost down so my plan was instead of replacing the fan (because it costs a fortune to run) i would exchange it for a more modern warm air unit by J&S (second hand 3-4 years old off ebay)
I have seen a few on ebay J50 JU50 (is mine a upflow or down flow (the ducting goes upwards - so presume upwards), hi spec 50, economaire 50
Q's
1) which models of the newer ranges of J&S heaters will it be straight forward to swap over to?
2) if i get a gas safe engineer to disconnect the exisitng gas connection to the heater and electrics i plan to remove and change the heater over myself. it seems fairly straight forward. is there anything to watch out for in particular?
3)are teh newer j&s heaters much cheaper to run?
4) where can i get replacement grills /registers from?
5) is it easy to adjus teh ducting at the top and make it fit after? where can i get the parts to ensure a good fit?
You help is much appreciated
