Hi group,

Not knowing anything about CH I have a quick question, I
recently moved into an old house which seems to have an old
primatic boiler with pump and a Marathon open flue floor
standing boiler.

This isnt the most efficient beast in the world, and was
wondering wheter its possible to convert this system to a more
modern combination type boiler without ripping the whole lot
out?

Is this something that can be tackled fairly cheaply?

Cheers

Russ.

I think you mean cylinder.

Yes. Get your self a high flow condensing combi. Look at the Worcester
Bosch Greenstar 40kW (wall mounted) or Highflow (floor mounted stadard
washing machine sized) or an Alpha cd50 (wall mounted. All give good to
excellent flow rates.

There are RR types of boilers like Eco-Hometec and Viessmann, expensive
though.

I've gone from a primatic to a combi and it wasn't a problem (apart not
doing it myself, which is a long tale) it should cost about the same as
any other boiler replacement.
