Hi All,
We are renovating our 1930's 3 bed semi-D. We currently have an OFCH and electric immersion hot water heating system. We are worried about future fuel security and costs re oil and gas. So, we were wondering if it is possible to install a new central heating system that would allow us to use a wood burning/multi-fuel stove and/or either an oil or gas boiler to drive the central heating and hopefully support water heating. We also intend to have solar water heating.
We hear that such combined systems are possible. Some tell us that it's only possible with the stove & oil (as gas CH systems operate with higher pressures and are sealed ?). Others say it can be done with gas but we might need two water tanks / parrallel systems. Over all it sounds very expensive. Has any one got some reliavble and clear information and advice, companies we could contact etc. We have found it very difficult to get a clear picture.
Thanks in advance
