Advice on unvented cylinder with underfloor heating please

[east1e]

Hi ya all.

I have a 60's house with a 90's warm air heating system. We're about to do a pretty big extension and as the warm air cannot cover the extra distance I'm trying to find a solution to the heating in that area. The warm air is fine for the existing house and will be staying.

I have had my mains pipe replaced and am really keen on an electric unvented cylinder just for the water. Would it be possible to run wet underfloor heating from the water in the megaflo, or by implementing something between the two?

Failing that, would a small boiler or electric flow boiler elsewhere taking care of the underfloor heating be more sensible? Just didn't want too many separate heating systems if you know what I mean....

Your help and advice is greatly appreciated.

If you already have gas, it seems daft to use electric to heat anything other an emergency immersion.

Hi Dan, thanks for your input. Do you mean run a gas boiler to heat the water and UFH?

Gas boiler heats central heating water.
Central heating water heats the hot tank water.

Gas boiler will do the lot.

For economy go with normal radiators cheaper and faster to install.
Also faster to respond.

No worries.

Warm Air is the work of the devil anyway.
