Hi,
It's all happening at once. Let property has Baxi back boiler on LPG. It has provided stirling service and is still going strong. HOWEVER the property only has an EPC 'F' so cannot now be legally rented out. It needs to be an 'E' at least. Apart from digging up the solid floors and re-laying as insulated then the heating is the next port of call.
I have arranged for an EPC assessor to re-assess and then we can work on heating options.
The Baxi is due for a service and safety check the day after so I will get my engineer to discuss combi/system options and give me some boiler options. These options can then be given to the assessor to see what might be the best way to go.
So...just wondering...do combis need a minimum cold feed pressure and flow rate as it is not very good at this property. It is a single bedroom annex next to my own property and an upgrade to the MDPE is overdue but as I have a long driveway this has been put off as we manage. If so then I would need to stay with system boiler but I would have liked to lose the header tanks and hot water storage etc.
I realise my engineer will have the answers, I just want to be a few days ahead in the thought/planning process.
Thanks
