stove boiler & installation issues

    Hi There

    I recently got a guy to do a job installing a stove boiler system for me. We went through what we wanted heating for the whole house but now at the end of the job he mentions that the heating can only be done for the upstairs.

    Its seemed to be down to complications with the current system in place with the oil boiler at the back of the house. He said to get the stove to work with that, you would have to drill down at the pipes there to find the 3/4 pipe and run that all the way to to stove, through the kitchen (routing up the tiles etc.) . The only other alternative to get the stove to heat the downstairs would be if we set the oil circulator downstairs to be open so the upstairs stove circulator could then flow through it but then the stove circulator would have to be superman with the amount of work it has to do to push.

    I was taken back by the whole thing and have to sit down with him to go through this again, but wondering peoples thoughts/advice.

    Unfortunatly I am not the most knowledgeable on heating or systems and hope I have describe things adequately !!

    Thanks

    I hope you hav'nt paid this guy, he did'nt assess the job correctly.
    Get someone who knows what he's doing, for the current plumber to suggest what he did makes me think he's a chancer.

    No thankfully not, but yea need to get someone in that knows what they are doing and tell me what needs to be done. its all a bit weird ... surely he should have known before it was all done !! love to know when during the process this was a realization. annoying thing was we went with this guy as the others quoted seemed like cowboys and preferred payed the good bit extra for a proper professional !! Argh !!
