Hi,
First post so bear with me please. I am doing a loft conversion at the moment. Part of this is going to be a complete heating system. At the moment i run a warm air gas system. Anyway that's getting junked. In total the new system will have 15 radiators to cover the whole house(can't be more technical yet as not read enough to work out specific room requirements). I am planning on a combi boiler with a mains pressure hot water cylinder. The cylinder is mostly to feed an existing power shower(i'll scrap the pump) and fit a new all singing/dancing water extravaganza in the loft conversion(plus the bath downstairs). That's the ground work so what i would like to know please is when i rough in the pipes should i go for 15mm for radiators and 22mm for showers/bath.
Any advice on what i should look out for in a brand new system(i.e good boiler manufacturer) or advice on steel versus copper mains hot water clylinders would be massively appreciated. Finally can anyone tell me where i can get a formula to work out my radiator requirements vs room air volumes?
Thanks in advance. Enjoy your Friday night!
