Hello AAM,
Currently trying to decide on the plumbing spec for my 2100sq foot new build Dormer, so far this is what I have come up with:
My initial plan with the stove is to size it big enough to heat the hot water and downstairs rads only thus would not have to fit a very big stove. House will have a HRV system too so hoping that will aid in the distribution of heat throughout the house
Spoke with one plumber who is open to using both systems and sees no major issues with my plan, he has also quoted €3000 to 1st and 2nd fix the above.
So folks, what do ye think of the above, see any pros & cons. Also, what are peoples opinions on the Systemlink manifold in against the (tried & tested) motorised v/v's option.
Looking forward to all replies and many thanks to all who contribute.
Currently trying to decide on the plumbing spec for my 2100sq foot new build Dormer, so far this is what I have come up with:
- Oil Condensing Boiler, efficiency 97% or better (Will be placed in the Garage 20 foot from the house). Must be 97% or better due to BER spec.
- Multi fuel stove with back boiler
- Triple coil cylinder with immersion. Cannot afford the Solar yet so will install the cylinder to allow the solar to be fitted @ a later date
- Conventional radiators throughout the house, 14 in total fitted with TRV's. Two heated towal rails for the bathrooms
- 3 zone system: Upstairs, downstairs and hot water
- Pressurised domestic water system (Water pressure very poor in the area)
