Hi,
Any advice/opinions would be appreciated.
I've recently moved to a 4 bed 2 bathroom property, built in around 1990. The hot water system is a vented system, with a Worcester boiler installed around 3 years ago. The boiler is in the utility room and the cylinder is in an airing cupboard in the landing. We probably won't move the cylinder.
The house is quite dated, and we've started decorating. The bathrooms are fine for now (in good working order), installed when the house was built and green. So we'd planned to replace them in the next 3 years or so.
We'd like mains cold to all the taps, and we'll install mixer taps. The showers currently installed are low pressure showers.
We're fairly set on an unvented system, possibly adding solar in the future. We'd also like to put a secondary hot water circuit in, to reduce the time waiting for hot water. We'll upgrade to 22mm pipe where necessary too.
We're decorating all the bedrooms and the landing at the moment, including new carpets. So, should we leave the hot water system as it is until we come to do the bathroom, and have to lift and relay the new carpets, or should we upgrade the hot water system now before we put new carpets in, and risk problems with the existing low pressure showers?
Any other views on the hot water system we're planning are welcome!
