I have an open fire and want to replace it with a stove. I have a back boiler but when I got a plumber to look at it, he said there was no pump. The fire only ever heated a radiator in the bathroom and the water in the cylinder. The plumber has said that he needs to run pipes from fire place up through roof to bedroom and over to the hot press. He needs to install a new cylinder. He has given me a quote for 2200 which is labour and parts. I don't have a clue about any of this and just wondering if this is what should be done. He said he could install the pump in the sitting room beside the chimney breast but would not guarantee that it would work. The only real guarantee is to go back up to the cylinder. The house was built around 1970 - I bought it a few years ago and I'm gradually repaired botched DIY jobs - it's a money pit !!. He said I would need an electrician to do the wiring - about 150euro. Then it's 995 for the stove - another 1200 for the fireplace. I have an oil heating system but I just want an alternative to this. Thanks for any help / guidance.
