Hi, I have replaced my conventional boiler with a system boiler and an unvented hot water cylinder. The reason I opted for a system boiler was because I had a leak from the cold water storage tank while I was away on holiday. I did not want to have any storage vessel in the loft. However, the installer has left the central heating vented with a small expansion vessel in the loft. I was not told that it was possible to have a sealed central heating system. Is this setup common? Please let me know.
 
welcome to the forum.

The wording you have used makes it difficult to understand what you are saying.
is the system sealed or vented???

if there is an expansion vessel in the loft then presumably there is also central heating pipework in the loft, nothing wrong with that.
Not really clear what you are asking
 
Ask a gsr engineer to check your system if you have concerns.
 
Thanks for your replies. Sorry my post wasn't clear. The hot water cylinder is unvented and this has markedly improved the flow on the showers. The central heating is not pressurised. The central heating pipe work in the loft from the conventional system has been left untouched. The installer feels that converting the central heating into a sealed system might increase the risk of leaks, which is a fair point. I will post images asap.
