For this posting were are in Lingfield, a small town in Surrey. Our customers have bought an old house which has never seen the benefit of Central Heating. Furthermore, it is January 2011 and there is snow everywhere.
Weather starting to turn
To leave the maximum room in the kitchen, we’ve suggested an external oil combination boiler. A Worcester-Bosch external heatslave was our recommendation, it comes in an insulated and rather fetching dark green cabinet, noticeably better made than the product sold by their main competitor, with rubber seals round the doors etc.
Ricky connecting new pipework
We fitted all new copper pipework inside the house, together with our preferred Vogel & Noot radiators, which are Austrian built units with rounded corners, very child-friendly.
At one point the roads outside became impassable, so we had to halt work for three days. As soon as the weather allowed, we were back on site, in this case this meant a Sunday. It is pretty miserable installing an external boiler in the snow, it has to be said.
Fire valve, oil filter and oil isolation valve
We haven’t got any pictures of the finshed job, because it got dark very quickly. But what a difference central heating makes to a house!
Like all our Worcester-Bosch installations, this boiler has a manufacturer on site warranty for 5 years, until 2016.
