Replace gas heater with radiator

rob_s0

Hello,

No idea if this is the right place to post this, but I've got an old gas heater in my extension, which I'd be interested in replacing with a radiator and hooking it up to the central heating system.

I'm no expert on this kind of thing and was wondering if this is a) possible, b) easy and c) how much it would roughly cost to do, if anyone here could give an idea?

Cheers.

What type of heater?
Something like a Baxi Brazilia? It can be removed and the gas capped off!
You can generally link Radiators’s to your system no problem, cost wise depends on type of system (sealed or open vent) concreted floors or floor boards so the cost has massive variances.

If it's related in any way to LPG, Heating Oil, Solid & Other Fuels, this would seem as good a place as any

I usually find that where there's a will, there's a way

As you have already declared yourself as no expert in this kind of thing, it is not something you should even be considering doing yourself, but rather appointing a suitable expert to do for you, which is usually very easy

About £200 plus the price of parts primarily being the new radiator, support brackets, piping, valves, etc. :money:
