Primatic to Combination

[Eunos]

Hi group,

Not knowing anything about CH I have a quick question, I recently moved into an old house which seems to have an old primatic boiler with pump and a Marathon open flue floor standing boiler.

This isnt the most efficient beast in the world, and was wondering wheter its possible to convert this system to a more modern combination type boiler without ripping the whole lot out?

Is this something that can be tackled fairly cheaply?

Cheers

Russ.

I think you mean cylinder.

Yes. Get your self a high flow condensing combi. Look at the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 40kW (wall mounted) or Highflow (floor mounted stadard washing machine sized) or an Alpha cd50 (wall mounted. All give good to excellent flow rates.

There are RR types of boilers like Eco-Hometec and Viessmann, expensive though.

I've gone from a primatic to a combi and it wasn't a problem (apart not doing it myself, which is a long tale) it should cost about the same as any other boiler replacement.
