What Boiler Do I Need? Conventional Boiler. System Boiler. Condensing Boiler. Gas Boilers. Anybody can work on a central heating system You cannot fit the gas boiler to the wall or run the gas supply pipe, Anybody who works on gas appliances must be Gas Safe Registered by law. You could also find your home insurance becomes void should you ever need to make a claim.
That engineer could also loose his licence to work on gas and his livelihood. Your new gas central heating boiler may also come with a long warranty, Everybody knows that gas can be very dangerous in the wrong hands, He can advise you on what you can do and what you cannot do. Most gas safe engineers are registered to install unvented system. If you still want to install your gas central heating system yourself, I hope this helps all you DIY people out there. For more information or to request an estimate, call There is not a fixed time for the cleaning agent: it's done after most of the sludge has been removed, ensuring good flow.

Pipes that go from the boiler to the radiators are best if they travel beneath the floor boards to ensure that there is no danger of a gas leak or coming into contact with the pipes while they are hot. However, tubing carrying heated waters from the boiler to radiators can be above the floor if preferred.
In this case, place all delivery pipes above in the ceiling cavity and then have 'droppers'' going to each individual radiator. All returns are in or under the floor. Try to stay away from pumps and make full systems to thermosyphon.

Systems need an expansion pipe, leading from the highest point in the delivery side of the system. The end of that expansion tubing should return the radiator waters back into the header tank. That way, the pH of the waters can continue to be ok after being treated with a rust inhibitor not automobile anti freeze Any air bubbles in the system hopefully should reach the highest point in the system and then travel up and out into the ceiling cavity.
Any dripping waters will return into the system which in turn, keeps the rad's system full. The heater tank size should be reasonably generous and have its own fresh water supply, which is operated by a ball cock valve.

I would need to learn a lot about how these things work as I'm only vaguely aware of the flow and return closed systems. Thanks for any thoughts! BlueC , 10 Oct That's all depending on your capabilities.
Would be best to pay engineer to give you detailed advice on layout and zone valves. If I was doing that as well as the boiler installation it would not be too much extra. Agile , 10 Oct Thanks x 1. Thanks Agile that's not a bad shout. We get on well with our engineer so I will ask him if this is something he'd consider. Capability wise I am pretty confident - it's more the technical aspects that I'm unsure about but as you said the engineer could put me straight on that.
The next thing would be sourcing the parts. Are online retailers competitive with trade prices or would I be best trying to swing a trade account somewhere? I did this for a customer last year. I fitted boiler and gas pipe etc and he fitted all the radiators and pipework back to mm from boiler. I connected up final bit. When i filled up the system he only had 33 leaks.
