Linking Multi Fuel and Gas Boilers

[SoxandMax]

Thanks for your answer, We are near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.

Fully understand the powercut scenario but am a little confused as my neighbour paid out over £5000 had a solid fuel only system installed professionally and that is pump driven we did contact this plumber and he wasnt interested because we have already bought the log burner etc... and he only works on the basis that he supplies and fits.

probs pump on c/h only not on hot water

dancin are you saying that the pump should be on the return pipework? Which is what we thought but have asked just in case

Solid fuel only is different to linked in with neutraliser. Solid fuel only will be pumped central heating and gravity hot water with heat leak.

NO !! listen to SimonG.
i am saying that on the system you have mentioned that the pump will be on the radiator circuit and not the circuit for domestic hoit water

sorry dont mean to appear rude but what you wrote here did not make a word of sense there was no need to shout at me for not understanding what you wrote.

Simon could you please explain further or do you know anyone near us that may be able to help thank for trying to explain things to us.

Unfortunately I'm in the North East. You really need to get somebody in who has experience with this type of work and your stove needs to be installed by a hetas engineer. Have a word with where you bought your stove or have a look on the hetas web site. It's becoming more and more popular to supplement existing heating systems.

The important thing, and I can't stress this enough, is that it is done safely. I think this is what dancinplumba was stressing as well. The dunsley site and hetas site are a very good starter.

Good luck.

yes its the safety thing, sorry didnt mean to shout

have posted in the i need a plumber /engineer etc section to see if anyone in suffolk can come out to have a look, by the way the burner is in place attached to chimney liner all installed by the right people but the plumber guy they put us on to was one of the i will get back to you and never did people. It seems that you need one tradesman to put hold the nail and another to hold the hammer and a third to say ok bang the nail with the hammer nowadays..... what ever happened to the man who was registered will and capable to do whole jobs... :yesnod:
