First job, get the services connected......


Then find a friendly central heating sorter-outerer, as it's got Hock,
ptooey a combo boiler.


Well, you could keep it and just use it as a system boiler, that is
one you've installed an indirect cylinder and gubbins.


I'll look into that. I need to chat with a plumber anyway, and as the
system's been drained......


I may just decide to inatall an electric shower and electric heater for
the sink anyway. I suspect it'll be outside the budget to put a tank and
immersion heater back in. I only normally use hot water for one shower
and one washing up session per day. That's when I'm at home, which is
about 120 days per year.


honestly, pressure tank+ immersion on a timer or boiler on a timer is
all you need. If you are out a lot just switch the lot off most of the
time. If the house is reasonably well insulate d and low ass inside the
insulation, it will warm up quickly.

The cost of pumps, wiring, etc gets yo nearly up to the cost of a
pressure tank anyway.

And a pressure tank can go almost anywhere.


Low ass? I learn something new every day. What's that supposed to say?
