Hi! Can anyone tell me whether it is better to remove back boiler or not. Bought a 1965 ex council house. Piping to back boiler is new. Heating is currently oil. Was informed that if I got gas heating installed I would have to get rid of back boiler. Unwilling to do this, as country girl at heart, and like the open fire, and the fact that it has the potential to heat radiators/water. Had considered getting Stanley stove installed in fireplace as well. Question: Should I keep back boiler? Can I get gas heating installed with a back boiler in situ? Is it worth conertingn from oil to gas heating? Thanks. Elainem.
Well, this is to be expected - no boiler means more output to the room - as heat is not being carried away to the rads.I got rid of the bb a few years back and it made a huge difference in the amount of hear the fire threw into the room afterwards.
I know you 'can' fit a back boiler and gas boiler on the one system, but if you mix the system waters you will VOID THE WARRANTY of you shiny new gas boiler!
You back boiler can be decommissioned and left in situ as long as the plumber bypasses the pipework and FULLY decommissions the back boiler by draining it and drill holes in the bottom of it (as per s recent BG saftey alert!)
