Hi,
I have to buy a new oil Boiler, the old one is not repairable.
At the moment I have a non condensing oil boiler that is running a gravity feed hot water and heating system.
Do some new condensing boilers run on Gravity feed systems, or should I be getting the pipe work updated to a fully pumped system?
My house is quite large and the same house next door has zone crontrol for up stairs and down.
I do not have this because at some time it has been taken out and it does not have zones now.
I would like to re zone up and down. I was thinking of 2 programmable RF wireless thermostats , one up one down.
I would like to be able to have the heating on downstairs for longer, then turn the heating on upstairs at a different time, and vary the temperatures etc. At the same time I need to be able to turn the hot water on by timer when I want to.
I'm not a plumber but I just want to get things right in my head before I start talking to plumbers for quotes.
Would I need a programmer to turn the hot water on at the boiler and 2 programmers for the thermostats?
Would it be straight forward for a plumber to wire?
I'm thinking of doing some of the wiring myself if I can not aford the plumbers quote.
Not touch the wires back to the boiler or anything to do with the boiler but maybe get all the other wiring done ready just to connect to the boiler.
