several questions, boiler/insulation

tool_up

Hey,

Recently purchase a house where the boiler was installed in '92 in the boxroom, how much hassle/cost would it be to move into the kitchen?

The house is a 3 bed semi around 1100 sq ft, what size boiler sould be installed if i were to change?

the house was built in 1987, the insulation in the attic looks to be fibreglass and looks to have shrinked in size? what would be the best way to insulate the attic, got a qoute of €900 for an "open cell semi-rigid spray-applied polyurethane foam insulation system" ...good price?

+1, get that boiler checked immediately!

Use rockwool for the attic, much more person friendly!

Hi Tool up
to calculate the size of boiler properly you have to
1. measure the heat lost in house
to get real demand for heat
2. get a real plumber who is able to calkulate how big rads you need in each room
3. and then what size boiler

if You really think how to make your house warmer you should start from windows they are bigest heat lossers
