Hello,
Before I start, I should point out that I'm not a plumber so apologies if I have anything horribly wrong.
I have an old CH system which is not really heating the house very well so am looking at upgrading the boiler.
Current system:
Baxi Bermuda back boiler (roughly 30 years old)
Single pipe
Primatic Cylinder with small but noisey header tank directly above it in the airing cupboard
I'd rather avoid replacing the pipes if possible, 2 rooms have laminate and some of the furniture probably can't be moved out of the rooms without completely taking apart.
From what I've read I have 2 options:
1) Combi and risk the old pipes leaking (have extended cover on the insurance just in case)
2) Lower pressure system boiler, replace cylinder and add extra tank in the (very small) loft
House is 3-bed, 1 bathroom spread over 3 floors
I'm getting quotes from local plumbers for the work but want to make sure I'm asking for the right thing
Thanks
