Hi there,
we are getting an entirely new heating system (existing oil system is full of old gun barrel pipes and not good). We're going to switch to gas. We have gotten a few quotes from plumbers. One said he would not install motorised valves (and therefore not take the SEAI grant of 560euro) because these valves are troublesome. Another plumber agreed they break down often but said they're worth it for convenience. Another plumber said they don't break down much.
I was just wondering if anyone would have any advice on whether we should get the motorised valves (and grant) or not bother. If we don't get them I think it works out around the same price because if you take the grant you need some more expensive things (and some 'silly things' according to one plumber, but he didn't elaborate apart from to say he wasn't taking about the valves.
Our house is a 4-bed semi-d in Dublin, 135m2.
thanks in advance!
Aidan
