Boiler Installation

Boiler Installation

So, up until now we’ve managed with just the log burner to keep us warm on the cold Yorkshire nights but we’re investing once again in some new tech.  Luke from Diamond Heating in Settle has been round to size up our boiler and radiator needs and is currently in the cellar, fitting the pipework, vents and last I looked, was quietly cursing the stone walls and loose infill which is a pain to drill through.

Having spent 8 hours drilling a 4″ hole through the wall for the waste water tank outlet, I can attest to how frustrating it can be and after 3 hours, almost predictably, Luke concedes he’s going to have to bring out the big guns and return with some more beefy drilling kit before he can fit the vent pipes.  What we have so far though looks really good, the Victorian radiators in gun-metal grey compliment the rooms really well and will hopefully help to keep the place feeling comfortable in even the worst of winter.

Once everything is in and working, we’ll have more to say but right now, it’s looking promising.
