Sounds like what plumber was telling me, just wondering if there is any options as system is quiet old and don't want to run risk of leaks if turned into pressurised system
Hi, house we have bought has un pressurised system run on oil. At moment there is no control of hot water other than time clock ( no tank stat on stanton tank ). Any suggestions on gaining control of HW. :?:
You'll not be able to independently switch CH if it's gravity HW unless converted to C-Plan (HW zone valve, cyl stat, boiler interlock).
To find out check if you've pipes leading from all 4 boiler tappings.
Have Stanton cylinder in loft for HW, will get back to you about tappings.
Have potterton timer controlling boiler that only allows two time settings, cannot switch HW off with CH on. Think i will look into digital programable room thermostat which allows independant switching.
Hi,recently moved into house with oil central heating and have noticed that boiler seems to be firing alot (no experiance of oil heating so totally lost). Have it set low (setting 2 on dial on boiler) so wondering if it should be firing so often. Would a programable digital room thermostat help?
