Hi,
Hope you can offer some advice. We have an ailing Baxi back boiler which is connected to a one pipe system with 7 rads in a bungalow. We are going to replace this boiler (with either a combi/cond combi or other suitable boiler) soon and would like to know if it is possible to do this without changing any pipework.
Obviously we understand that it would be better to convert to a two pipe system, but we are concerned about the amount of disruption to decor etc this would cause as some of the pipework is under concrete floors.
We have been told by an engineer that it is possible sometimes to run a condensing boiler on a one pipe system, but it would be a matter of installing it and waiting to see what happens!!
Would there be a lot of disruption installing a two pipe system? We are considering installing the boiler either in the airing cupboard (in the hallway) or in the loft.
Your opionions would be valued-thanks.
