I should say from the outset that my builder turned up when he said he would ie Monday of this week but never gave me any advance notice!!
My right hip has given up the ghost so I have to get a plumber in to do all the work. I want to get quotes but need to specify a) the rads I want, b) the boiler, c) thermostats on rads, d) the control/programmer, e)a water pressure pump to drive 2 showers. other shower will be electric.
As always I get conflicting advice eg don't increase pressure on the taps as it will spatter too much just do the showers etc etc.
I want solo rads in hallway, dining/kitchen, also a kicker rad in kitchen, and solo rad in living and then good normal rads elsewhere. I dont want those rads that streak the wall but cant for the life of me think what the others are called.
I want a good boiler ie better than firebird but again I am told firebird is very popular. it is for a 2000 sq ft bungalow so I was opting for a 120 btu output. But when I look at grant vortex condensing it is in KW's, Help! I cant test water pressure now as everything has been shut off to alllow demolition work.
I want h&c in cold in summer and then with heating in winter driven off the bolier, I want to have a controller with options say 3 time settings per day, and the option to specify hot water only.
I have read all the posts etc and went rvr.ie. I am probaly starting with the nice to have and then if it is too off the wall price wise, then a re-think will be required. I am not going for zoned heatinga s there are only 2 of us. I enquired about solar panels and was quoted 7,500 all in with a grant of 1100. I HAVE NOT GOT 6,400 TO SPARE. I wish I had.
Help!!
noah
