Viessmann Combination Boiler Conversion Specialists
Here at Gas Pro Heating Ltd we specialize in Combi boiler conversions from system or Heat only boilers.
When deciding to upgrade to a combi boiler from a conventional system boiler here is what we can offer. Generally you gas boiler may be located in your kitchen, utility room or garage. You will have a hot water cylinder that will be located on the first floor in an airing cupboard or Hot press or ground floor in some situations
The way a combi works is that it heats water directly from the boiler when an outlet such as a tap/ shower/ or a bath is opened. A hot water storage tank is not required. As per Dublin bye laws, a combi boiler can not be ran from the mains water supply like in the UK, it must have a break tank and a pump to pump Hot and cold supplies.
We recommend, The EPS Multiboost tank which is 345 litre in capacity, this tank replaces the main cold water storage tank that will be located in the attic. The Multiboost tank has a built in submersible pump which is very quiet in operation and has an out put of 3.5 bar pressure which is perfect for showers and baths etc. The multiboost tank boosts the Hot and cold supplies to the property to give pressurized water at all outlets to modernize any system.
We generally recommend relocating the new combi boiler and Home boost tank to the attic, as the existing pipework will already be in place for cold supply to the property and the Hot supply from the Hot press down below, pending on space of course and head height. This generally what we will supply in such installations:
- Viessmann 30 kw combi boiler
