I'm trying to spec an underfloor heating system for my ground floor and tie the controls into my existing set up.
Can anyone confirm my proposed set up will work?
I currently have an S plan Vaillant 618 boiler, Unistor cylinder, controlled by a VRC430 and VR65 in the airing cupboard.
I would like to replace ground floor rads with UFH, to form 2 zones (ground and first - UFH and rads respectively). So...
1) Replace VR65 with VR61 (controls two zones)
2) Add VR81 remote control programmer to control 1st floor zone (rads)
3) retain VRC430 in ground floor hall for overall system control and UFH zone
4) Keep existing boiler and cylinder
The installer will spec the UFH pipes,manifold, pump etc. I'm just trying to get a head start on understanding what he'll need to do.
The ground floor subfloor is being entirely renewed to a solid floor w/ current insulation standards (engineered wood over), I've done my heat loss calcs, and the house is occupied all day. I don't want to start an argument on the merits of UFH.
Any comments or advice very welcome.
Thanks!
