Connecting two boilers back into one unit

bri007

Hi all,

We have bought a house and it’s concerted into two seperate units.

Upstairs and downstairs have there own boiler and heating controls which means we have two seperate bills and have to turn both on to heat whole house.

If we want to connect them back from the existing two into one boiler (preferably to the boiler downstairs as it’s new) would this be a big job and costly to do?

Thanks

you really would need to get a plumber to look at the set up for you


may sound stupid but will one boiler be capable of heating whole house

How big is the house? How many radiators approx?

Each is probably scaled to the unit it supplies. So you are probably looking st ripping it all out and starting again. 8.k+

Thanks for the reply.

Ah ok, I was thinking it wouldn’t be cheap to do. Looks like we have to leave it as is so!

I'd say it just depends on the size of the house and everything. If cost is a concern, I'd say it's a thing to be done when one of the boilers needs to be replaced anyway.

I would say there is lots variables to this question, too many to be fully answered here.

You would be best to get an RGI plumber out to have a look and give you an estimate, most likely if the 'joining' of the system was straight forward, you would still most likely need to replace the boiler(s) with a larger appliance capable of heating both zones.
