I have 40 year old old fired central heating a 1050 sq ft 3 bed-semi. The gunbarrell pipes in concrete under the floors and have started to leak. I have spoken to a number of people and am getting conflicting advice.
Option 1 Dig up the floors and replace the pipes with copper.
Option 2 Isolate the downstairs pipework and pipe down from upstairs to the downstairs rads
Option 3 Isolate the central heating completely. Put storage heaters in the hall and largest rooms with panel heaters in the other rooms
Option 4 Isolate the central heating completely. Put plug in oil filled rads in all rooms.
Any help to make sense of the options greatly appreciated.
