Adding a radiator

lizalexander

We live in a 2 bed terrace. Ground floor only has one radiator in the living room so we would like to have one added to the kitchen. The wall we would put the rad on,backs onto the cupboard where the combi boiler is. I am wondering whether the new radiator & pipework is likely to run straight from the boiler (two foot away through a wall) or from the living room or from somewhere else ?
thanks very much

You can do either e.g from pipe work near to boiler or from exiting rad cost would depend on distance ease of access and how original is plumbed etc. To an extent its if you can see a central heating pipe flow /return you can add to it be it by the boiler or anywhere else? Whichever way is easiest

If that's the easiest way then do it. In the end you simply throttle back the easy route to ensure adequate hot water runs to all rads, just make sure you can isolate it.;)
