Hi,
We have a Baxi Bermuda 552 in a downstairs chimney breast with the firefront.
I want to replace it with a new Condensing Boiler in the garage that is attached to the house. The existing timer controls are in the airing cupboard in the first floor that also houses the cylinder and pump.
Could anyone advise on the following questions :
# Can we use our existing timer and room thermostat controls ?
# Can we use our existing cylinder ?
# Can we use our existing rads & pipework ?
# Can the boiler be sited on the shared wall (between house and garage) and vent out of the garage roof ? Or does it need an external wall ?
# Anything else to consider about siting in the garage ?
Our Baxi really needs replacing, it's a pig to get at and I want to get something a bit more efficient and get rid of the old firefront - replace it with some thing a bit more contemporary (probably electric).
I'd like to keep costs as low as possible, and re-use what we currently have in terms of rads and pipework, tanks, etc. It's all working fine at the moment.
Would I basically be able to run the existing pipework to the garage ? (must be all of an extra 2 metres)
