@Airhead and @diable. It's a 2 bed, 1 bathroom property. Old boiler eats gas and I don't want the cold tank and storage cylinder in the bedroom.
How easy is it to convert? I'd like to do most of the work myself.
The current gas feed is too small but the gas meter is very close so the upgraded pipe shouldn't cost much. I don't want to move the boiler elsewhere as it's in the kitchen on an outside wall will a drain below it for condensate.
I understand that using old pipework may have the risk of it leaking due to having a pressurized system instead of gravity fed but I'd like to keep the costs down.
Water pressure doesn't seem an issue in the house but I haven't got the kit to test it (I might be able to borrow a flow and pressure kit however.)
