This recent combi conversion in Finchampstead involved upgrading an existing traditional heating system to a modern combination boiler setup. The property previously relied on a hot water cylinder and cold water storage tanks, which were no longer the most practical or efficient solution for the household’s needs. Alliance CFM completed the work to improve efficiency, free up internal space and provide a more responsive and simplified heating system for everyday use.
Removal of the Existing Heating System
The original installation consisted of a conventional boiler system with both loft tanks and a separate hot water cylinder. These components were safely isolated and removed, along with redundant pipework that was no longer required. Once the old system was cleared, the layout was reconfigured to suit a modern combi boiler installation, making better use of internal space and simplifying the overall heating arrangement.
Installation of the New Combi Boiler
A new combination boiler was installed to replace the previous system, providing both heating and hot water directly from a single compact unit. This removed the need for stored hot water and improved responsiveness throughout the property. Pipework adjustments were carried out where needed to match the new system design, along with updated controls to improve usability and temperature regulation.
Improved Efficiency and Day to Day Practicality
The conversion delivered a noticeable improvement in day to day practicality. With the tanks and cylinder removed, additional storage space was made available within the property. The new system also provides hot water on demand, reducing heat loss associated with stored water and offering a more efficient way of managing heating and hot water requirements.
Testing, Commissioning and Completion
Once installation was complete, the system was fully tested to confirm correct operation across heating and hot water functions. Water pressure, flow rates and control response were all checked before final commissioning. The system was then left operating smoothly, providing a modern and reliable heating solution tailored to the property.
