Moving house - boiler advice

[adwt2004]

Hi guys,

I am moving house soon and just needed some advice on the boiler. It's a year old system running a Ideal Icos HE18, new cylinder, and there are some tanks in the loft. My question is, will i need a filling loop with this or does it fill itself? My current house has a worcester greenstar 30si combi so not used to other boilers. I will need to move a radiator so knowing whether it will fill itself back up is important i guess.

Also, it has a wireless stat that works well and there is a programmer right next to the boiler in the airing cupboard, would it be wired from boiler-programmer-wireless stat?

And does anyone know what kind of recovery time i'd get in this setup? (Cylinder is 120L - it's a standard part L cylinder with blue insulation on it, the sort you'd see in b&q)

Thanks

Sounds as if it is a standard open vent system, so you will not need a filling loop.

The cylinder should recover in around 30 mins approx.

Put some money aside for the boiler to be fixed several times, or take out an Ideal service agreement

You can't possibly know something will fail. If i remember correctly you fit vaillants don't you. Well a lot of people i know have had vaillants and numerous breakdowns.

Your obvious argument back will be it wasn't fitted properly by the installer. So there you have it, nothing to do with the boiler.

I appreciate the first half of your post but the second half is ill thought out.
