Hello,
I am about to accept a quote for a new boiler and just need some final assurance.
Current system:
- V old heat only boiler with separate expansion vessel and separate pump (ground floor)
- Vented hot water cylinder (first floor) fed from tank in loft.
- 5 bed house, three floors with high ceilings.
Proposed system:
- Install 37kw system boiler
- Replaces expansion vessel & pump with components under long warranty
- Saves some space
- Plan to install a unvented cylinder at a future date. We are not sure where it would go at the moment, so want to delay this decision.
- Plan to install multiple heating zones at a future date.
Questions:
- Will a system boiler be compatible with an unvented cylinder? The plumber said this arrangement would simplify the pipework.
- Will a system boiler prevent being able to have multiple heating zones at a later date?
- Currently, if I switch on the central heating, the hot water also switches on. This seems wasteful. Will the system boiler be able to control these independently?
- FYI - The system has a honeywell 3 way valve near the cylinder.
- Do I need to consider anything else?
Many thanks,
Matthew
