New radiators before new boiler installation

[Harry00]

Hi,

I have an query regarding central heating replacement in stages. I have an old central heating system and am looking to replace next summer. However, I would like to add a radiator or two now to prepare for winter (previous french doors and wall knocked through means less radiators than there used to be).

My question is how should I go about this? My thoughts are to flush the system, add the couple of radiators now and add inhibitor. Next summer I will get someone in to do the boiler/hot water tank and I will replace some of the other old radiators.

The current system is a gravity feed system. Replacement will should not affect the radiator plumbing around the house just the pipework to boiler.

Any thoughts / comments? Is there a better approach?

How can the work not affect the radiator circuit, but will affect the boiler primaries?

I understand a new boiler / tank will affect the radiator circuit at the point where is connects to the primary. My point was the majority of the radiator circuit is not affected so adding a radiator or two at this point should be OK.

What I dont want is to add a couple of radiators now and then be told at the time I have the boiler replaced that I have wasted my time/money.
