I am trying to decide on a plumber for my new house which is being built and I have a few plumbing questions...
1. I was interested in putting in a pressurised hot water system. Some plumbers are very much in favour but there are some who have tried to talk me out of it saying its too expensive, more maintenance etc.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has installed such a system- how is it working out?
2. I have planned on using a geothermal system for heating the house (underfloor) as well as heating the domestic water up from cold to 40 degrees. I would then use immersions to bring the water up to shower temperature. Is there anything wrong with this? The reason I ask is that some of the companies installing geothermal systems seem to want to just concentrate on the heating of the house only and keeping domestic water heating seperate.
3. Also my family would probably be heavy users of hot water (we like our showers!!) - what is the most suitable hot water cylinder size for a family of five to supply our hot water needs. Any ideas on what a cylinder (well insulated) this size would cost?
