Large Worcester combi hidden in loft
March 28th, 2009
The house, located in Smallfield, near Gatwick, had a conventional heating system with a copper cylinder, water tank etc. The old boiler had been mounted in a bedroom cupboard, which is always best avoided for noise reasons.
You can just see the new boiler flue on the roofline......
We fitted a new Worcester Bosch Greenstar 37CDi combination boiler in the loft space, on a custom made partition.

The Worcester boiler has a high hot water flow rate, which uses over 37Kw of power. This necessitated a new gas pipe, which we connected via the existing external recessed meter housing and routed into the loft space.

The new boiler system rendered the hot water cylinder and tanks redundant, leaving some useful space under the stairs for a cupboard.

Finally, we fitted the excellent Honeywell CM927 wireless thermostat unit to control the heating in the house.

This house was in great internal condition with white carpets everywhere – heating installers hate white carpets! But the owners made our chores a pleasure, even putting some of their own dust sheets down before we arrived!
