Installing a new gas boiler

gabbo is coming · 2010-03-04 11:46:44

Hello, Want to change from existing oil boiler, 35 yrs old, to Gas. Couple of queries: 1. Is it ok to mount a gas boiler in a sort-of external utilitity room that has no heat but is dry (i.e. a non-permeable roof, but not sealed for air). 2. How do I work out the kW I need - there are 12 double rads in the house and a tank…

Hello,

Want to change from existing oil boiler, 35 yrs old, to Gas. Couple of queries:

1. Is it ok to mount a gas boiler in a sort-of external utilitity room that has no heat but is dry (i.e. a non-permeable roof, but not sealed for air).

2. How do I work out the kW I need - there are 12 double rads in the house and a tank

3. How much should I be paying for a boiler - I looked at a 24 kW Victrix boiler on rvr.ie for 1000 + VAT. This shound right ballpark?

4. Not replacing rads. Simply going under concrete and disconnecting pipes from oil boiler to house and connecting gas piped water instead. This sound ok?

Thanks!

PM items. He is gone out into business. No doubt if you mention it he will look after you.. Make sure its a condensing boiler and apply for the grant.
