My system has an outdoor oil boiler with 2 pumps.
One goes to the downstairs radiators and the other goes to the upstairs hot water tank.
In the fairly recent past this pump also fed the upstairs radiators (no more)
A couple of years back the pipes under the upstairs floorboards had to be replaced and the 4 pipes could only be replaced with 2 ( they feed the hot water tank)
This is a very old system and my plumber is very reluctant to fix the upstairs radiators (or even to keep in touch - well there has been Covid and also he is getting on) and suggests that I don't really need them.
If I want to get them back in operation does it sound feasible to connect up the pipes that feed the hot water tank to the upstairs radiators (probably installing a new pump?)
Or is it possible that my plumber is right and could it be too complicated and unnecessary to undertake the project?
