Hi, i have enough plumbing knowledge to get by, fix a leaky tap etc....but not enough to answer my question so hopefully somebody on her would be kind enough to help... my old house was great, oil fired central heating....timer had 1 button for the heating, 1 button for the hot water.....so i could set the timer for, hot water only, heating only, or heating and hot water at the same time.... my current house (a newer house) only has the option for, well basically on or off on the timer......i have to put on the radiators to get hot water which takes ages as the rads have to heat first before the hot water storage tank fills.....yes i can put the immersion heater on but we all know that costs a fortune.. so, basically i want to know is it an easy upgrade to change my system to have both seperate hot water and heating again? i believe it is a gravity fed system.....hot water cylinder in hotpress, 1 little tank in loft, 1 big tank.... thanks guys (and girls).
