Hi All
I am planning for a house extension at the moment and would like to implement the attached scheme in the Central Heating work.
The house will have 1 bath + 2 showers when completed, for 3/4 people. The existing combi is a Baxi 30kW, 2 years old, from the previous owner. Since it would be a shame to dump and to replace this relative new boiler, also to achieve electric hot water back-up (just in case), I am planning to introduce a DH cylinder connected to the CH circuit.
The existing DHW outlet (from combi) will be used for the kitchen sink only, to keep water flow within the boiler. I will manually set the CH setpoint temperature at 60C on the boiler.
I think it should work but would love to hear other's opinion.
I am planning to buy an indirect cylinder (@£500) + other accessories. Very likely I will explore different wiring to link with Hive or Wiser smart control.
