Horizontal Unvented Indirect Hot Water Cylinder that is at least 150 Litres in size

[moley]

Hello I'm Moley from Aberdeenshire .

I've just moved house and this one has got solid fuel central heating / oil fired and we want to move the hot water tank up the loft . At the moment its in a cupboard in the living room which is not the best place for it.

But the big problem we have is there is not much hight up in the loft, so do you get a Horizontal Unvented Indirect Hot Water Cylinder that is at least 150 Litres in size .

Thanks for any help ,

Moley.

Doesn't sound good for an un-vented cylinder. You thought about a combi outside boiler? If its space your looking for?

You cannot connect an unvented cylinder to a coal fire. It is not allowed, even if you don't like the neighbours. Get someone in who knows what they are doing.


Simon Hetas means nothing much up here. No requirement.

I suggest you get Tamz in.

Ok so what would you suggest to sort my problem ? and could I do what I wanted to with a vented one ?

As you can see I have NO idea what I'm talking about :laugh3:

So this must mean my one in the living room is vented ??

You would be better getting someone local in to discuss your options and give you a price.

I would of thought it was more to do with the length and size and route of primary's

Well it does, but he is saying the cylinder can be fitted directly above where it is just now. And i'm guessing its not sitting on the floor. But that's the whole thing here... without actually going to site and viewing the job, it pretty much is a guess. What he also quoted was that the cylinder would have to go horizontal. ( Im guessing, this can not be done) as previously stated.

We have only about 1M of hight for the cylinder thats why it has to be horizontal thats the space we have if we keep it close to the fire .

Also I thought we could get rid of the cold water tank , no ??

Mitchellplumber: do you have much exp of solid fuel heating systems

No. There are other options but none of them cheap. Get someone in as if you want to do this, it is not a diy thing.

I live in the highlands of scotland.... i'm sure i've come across a few in my time. ;0) SimonJohns: Do you?

 

[SimonJohns]

Clearly not as much as you. But I wouldn't be fitting a uvhws to a coal fire
