My daughter bought her first home and was hoping to convert to gas but its not available in the area, so thinking a boiler upgrade is the better way to go.
Just after some advice and rough costs involved, is it worth getting a pressurised system installed and a new boiler and oil pump? Heating hasnt been on for a around a year or so since the last tenants left the property and its tempremental at the minute, turned on and started heating all the rooms straight away but now it wont do anything, possibly an airlock as the pump does kick in outside.
I will be hiring a professional to do the work and just after options. Its a 3 bed semi with 3 bathrooms and 9 radiators, some are double radiators. Not sure about the pipework but think its in the walls rather than under the floor if that makes any diffference?
Could be the current setup is fine, but think its just kicking the problem down the road which would lead to more issues. Not sure of the current system as yet, havent checked it out.
TIA Alan
