Hi All,
I've moved into a house that has a nice new looking Worcester Bosch 30cdi combi boiler powering the hot water and central heating, which works a treat. However, the kitchen has an ancient electric cooker (I don't think the previous occupants were that clean on cooking) which I'd like to replace with a gas one.
The gas meter is in the cellar and boiler upstairs (there are no other gas appliances in the house) with a run of about 9 meters of 22mm copper pipe supplying the gas to it (all looks neat and tidy). In my naivety I assumed that you'd just be able to take a spur (that's the electrical term - don't know what it is in plumberspeak) off of this and power the new cooker.
So far I've had two people come and quote, one said we could do the above, the other insisted that all the pipe work to the boiler would have to be replaced with a larger diameter pipe - thus making his quote about twice the size of the first.
I'd be interested to hear peoples opinions on this.
Thanks
Harry
