Hi there,
I've recently moved into a house in Oxfordshire which has a solid fuel (multi-fuel stove with back boiler) central heating / DHW system (with immersion heater for DHW in the summer).
We only moved in this spring, so have yet to establish how effective / useable the current system is, but realistically it's likely that we'll get gas connected at some point in the not-too-distant future. We like the idea of a linked system, so that we can burn coal / wood for most of the time, but also have the option of heat at the push of a button when we don't have the time or inclination to set a fire and wait (and also for hot water in the summer). There's gas in the road outside, and we've checked with the gas supply people that it won't cost too much to get the house connected up, so I don't think there's any real problem. We've had some minor plumbing work done, but the plumber wasn't familiar with solid fuel systems, let alone link-up. So we're looking for someone in the area who has experience of such things, who could advise us on the possibilities and practicalities of installing such a system. There's a couple within range who are registered with HETAS, but personal recommendations would be preferable to random choice! Any suggestions?
Thanks very much.
