Hi, hope there's someone who can point me in the right direction.
Installing an Oil fired central heating system in a two bedroomed cottage with upstairs bathroom. At the rear of the house is a granny annex which is being joined onto the house with an extension. There is no hot water system or heating at all in the house at present but I have recently put a cold tank and copper cylinder with emmersion in the annexe where we are living at present to give hot domestic water to the kitchen and bathroom of the annexe.
I was going to put an oil combi in the main house to save space, it was also going to link into the annexe to give high pressure hot domestic water to the annexe bathroom and kitchen by way of a valve.
All sounded quite reasonable until I contacted Grant boilers who said they wouldn't advise using a combi in a house with two bathrooms.
I dont want to go down the road of cold tank and cylinder in the main house due to having little spare space for the copper cylinder.
As I have a copper cylinder in the annex already, is it possible to run the radiator feed from the combi through the side tappings of the copper tank in the annexe to heat the domestic water as well as feeding the radiators in the annexe. This would give an extra option to heat the annexe water apart from using the emmersion as at present.
Does anyone think the above is possible or can anyone think of any other ways to crack the nut
