Central heating

[alancdavis]

What would be a ball park figure to have central heating installed ,,,most likely 5 rads

At the moment the house has one of the multipoint boilers so will this be ok or will that also need changing ?

Any help appreciated

Mine was £5000
New boiler - relocated from kitchen to loft. Vaillant Eco-Tec so not a ****y cheap one.
7x radiators
Complete new pipe work throughout.

I never fit them in the loft if the pressure on combi goes low every thing stops its a pain going in the loft to check and refil
I get several calls especially older people who have no heat and hot water due to this and they will never be able to get into loft rant over

Can you use a multipoint as a heating boiler as well ?

I replumbed my whole house last year using plastic pipe and pushfit fittings. Piece of cake to do as was replacing all my radiators. Just get someone it to fit a boiler

central heating

when i got my combi boiler fitted & some new radiators 3yr ago. i got yellow pages out & rang a few plumbers (corgi reg)to have a look & give me quotes (prices varyied a lot). plastic pipes cheaper option.but i used copper. got radiators from plumb centre (good quality & reasonable price) give them room sizes & they work out what size you need (btu,s). i fitted cheap ones yrs in my 1st house (they were crap). if you fit a boiler, just fit a plug on boiler wire. you won,t need an electrician to sign it off then.

Multipoint is a hot water boiler only no rads can be attached to it

Dusty get up there and take his cash from him , tight northern git .

They must think us gas technicians have no brains . If I wasn't a gas engineer I would have been a physics teacher or a scientist.

Ah it gets better , mr bish what type of plastic pipe did you use to fit the radiators ? What make was it ? Acorn pipe ?

only asking

boiler heats the water and then a pump sends it around the system , but I guess its not that simple ,, or maybe its a plumbers clause to charge the earth,,,
