    No you would not have to upgrade the boiler to heat the hot water cylinder only. It is impossible to know without seeing the installation to be in a position to determine whether the system can be separated or not. Most systems can be but if the rads are teed off the primary flow and return before surfacing, then a new flow and return would have to be installed from the boiler to the hot press.

    Price will depend upon how many zones are required, wiring ease for thermostats, bonding upgrade back to fuse board, and a few other criteria. If the work meets the current building regs, you will be eligible for an SEAI grant if your home was built prior to 2008. If not it should have time and temperature control over each maximum 100m2 zone plus DHW anyhow.
