Hi,
I currently live in a 1970's 3 bed semi-detached house. We are currently looking into several improvements in the house. Insulating the external walls along with new windows along with moving the old oil boiler out of the house as this is quite dangerous in the house.
We are also thinking about over hauling the heating system when we move it. We are looking at a High efficiency grant vortex oil boiler. How much should a new oil boiler cost to install? We have been quoted €1050 for the boiler (less €700 if we go with the grant scheme). How much should it cost to install the boiler, labour wise?
Also, what is the best way to plumb the new pipes from outside the house in the new boiler house? Underground, insulated pipes?
The father in law pointed out that the pipes are quite old, rubber (microbore) but not great? They aren't copper and as a result will loss quite a lot of heat.
Has anyone got any ideas how it would cost to install the copper piping or the best type? We are very much in the R&D process of our upgrade.
