Hi There , Could some of you experienced Guys out there give me some advice please . We have a job coming up that is a bit bigger than we normally do . We are used to installing new heating systems in 3 or 4 bedroom houses , but this is a bit bigger .
It is an old 6 bedroomed detached house . At the moment it has Oil boiler 26 kw and about 12 rads ( some rooms have electric storage heaters ) . The rads are quite old and some of them are on internal walls . A lot of the rads are undersized .
The customer would like the whole system upgrading , i.e.
New more efficient Boiler ,
New more efficient Radiators ,
Thermostatic valves fitting ,
The pipework renewing , maybe part copper and part plastic .
I would like to change it from Open Vented to a sealed system . Is it worth having the Ground floor on one Zone and the 1st and 2nd floor on another ? and what are the advantages of zoning ? Also , looking at the Domestic Heating Design guide it mentions Weather compensating controls , I dont know anything about them , have any of you installed them and was it worth it ?
Thanks Guys .
