Title: thermal store cylinders
Post by mutozi on Feb 7^th, 2008, 7:55pm

I want to use 2 woodburner boilers, 1 oil and 1 solar boiler to heat my central heating and hot water and have been recommended a direct thermal store cylinder. Why is my plumber opposed to this?

Can you explain that a tad better.

2 woodburner boilers, 1 oil and 1 solar :-? :-?

With a system that complex I feel you need a Heating Engineer to design the system rather than just a plumber who may not have the necessary design experience. What does your plumber propose instead?
