We have a water heater and a gas boiler in the garage at the rear of the house.
The water heater has started to leak at one of the joints so we have decided to install a new combi boiler and get rid of the above.
A local firm came to give us a quote and told us the gas pipe to the existing boiler/water heater is not big enough (15mm) and needs replacing with 22mm.
The meter is in the front of the house and approx 30 meters from the garage (in a straight line) ,we have concrete floors and he needs to run the pipe around the rooms to get to the garage,this has added £600 to the original quote.
Is the info about the bigger diameter pipe correct ,does the additional price look fair?
Are there any boilers that will run off a 15mm gas pipe so we can get away with the upheaval this is going to cause?
Thanks in advance.
