circulator lengths

steyert · 5 Sep 2009

I live in a Bungalow the circulator pipes 22mm plastic go from the garage up into the loft space 30 feet along the loft 8 feet down the wall in the kitchen then 20 feet under the floor and end up 15 feet from the boiler . If i reroute the pipes directly under the floor app 15 feet boiler to manifold will this increase the effiency of the boiler and reduce the heating time of the house

I have to wonder why any one would have routed the pipes this way if not neccessary.

Where is the Hot water cylinder, pump,and motorised valves?
Is it sealed or vented system?

Your proposal sounds like a good one to me.

Just put some insulation on the pipes under the ground floor and in the loft; saves you about 95% of the cost in time and money.
Even compared to completely uninsulated pipes, I seriously doubt if you would be able to tell the difference in the gasbill or the warm up time.
