00:00:00.000 hi I'm Tim welcome to the restoration 00:00:01.57900:00:01.589 couple in today's video we're going to 00:00:03.13900:00:03.149 be taking a look at our new beautiful 00:00:04.67000:00:04.680 boiler but kind of the decision making 00:00:07.28000:00:07.290 process and how we ended up with it in 00:00:09.11000:00:09.120 the first place so stick around and 00:00:11.06000:00:11.070 we'll get right to it 00:00:13.62000:00:13.630 as you can see is bit cold today very 00:00:16.51000:00:16.520 fresh 00:00:17.20000:00:17.210 but fortunately the house isn't so cold 00:00:20.02000:00:20.030 it's lovely and toasty in there and 00:00:21.73000:00:21.740 that's thanks to having this boiler all 00:00:23.35000:00:23.360 installed and working doing a sterling 00:00:26.85900:00:26.869 job so today's video is gonna be a bit 00:00:29.10900:00:29.119 more of a technical one and I'll kind of 00:00:31.45000:00:31.460 try and cover a few of the details about 00:00:33.43000:00:33.440 the boiler and why we picked it why it 00:00:35.31900:00:35.329 was a good fit for the house and then in 00:00:37.51000:00:37.520 the next video we'll be doing all the 00:00:39.28000:00:39.290 fun stuff or I say we I'll be filming at 00:00:42.04000:00:42.050 the install when Jason our plumber came 00:00:44.95000:00:44.960 over how do we end up with a boiler well 00:00:46.72000:00:46.730 I put a plea out to plumbers and heating 00:00:49.84000:00:49.850 engine is on Instagram and other people 00:00:52.06000:00:52.070 I knew and I said look we were getting 00:00:54.40000:00:54.410 rid of our biomass wood pellet boiler 00:00:56.29000:00:56.300 which would prove to be a little bit too 00:00:59.29000:00:59.300 much work for the size of house we've 00:01:01.24000:01:01.250 got and it was taking up so much space 00:01:03.25000:01:03.260 in here and we really needed this room 00:01:05.80000:01:05.810 back so I said kind of what what boiler 00:01:08.62000:01:08.630 would you have in that situation and 00:01:10.83000:01:10.840 these men seem to come up all the time 00:01:14.47000:01:14.480 again and again and I and I guess those 00:01:17.02000:01:17.030 are the people who have seen them the 00:01:18.25000:01:18.260 most they're the ones that are servicing 00:01:19.90000:01:19.910 them and from their perspective and it 00:01:22.51000:01:22.520 was a really safe bet and a really good 00:01:24.25000:01:24.260 way to go and at that point we also had 00:01:26.71000:01:26.720 this discussion with Ethan and they were 00:01:28.12000:01:28.130 wanting to reach out and kind of help us 00:01:30.16000:01:30.170 in this situation where you know we 00:01:32.23000:01:32.240 needed a new boiler we were gonna be 00:01:33.91000:01:33.920 filming the install and it just seemed 00:01:35.68000:01:35.690 like a good fit to do a collaboration so 00:01:38.14000:01:38.150 these one were able to guide us through 00:01:40.14000:01:40.150 what boiler was gonna suit best for us 00:01:43.42000:01:43.430 here along with our installer and what 00:01:48.04000:01:48.050 we decided on is the vivid ins 00:01:50.26000:01:50.270 100 there's two models which could have 00:01:53.38000:01:53.390 worked here there's the 200 which is got 00:01:55.63000:01:55.640 a few more bells and whistles on it but 00:01:58.75000:01:58.760 for us it was really about something 00:02:01.33000:02:01.340 that's super efficient super reliable 00:02:04.69000:02:04.700 and something that we could kind of kind 00:02:07.42000:02:07.430 of leave to itself and both of those 00:02:10.02900:02:10.039 models do that now we needed that one of 00:02:11.92000:02:11.930 the higher output to 35 kilowatt size 00:02:16.42000:02:16.430 and that just future-proofed us for the 00:02:19.02000:02:19.030 extension work and these rooms that 00:02:21.25000:02:21.260 we're putting in as well but you know it 00:02:24.28000:02:24.290 can modulate down as well so it's not 00:02:26.26000:02:26.270 like it's going 00:02:27.17000:02:27.180 blacks out all the time so the boiler 00:02:28.94000:02:28.950 had to go in before the rest of this 00:02:31.22000:02:31.230 room was built because it's simply so 00:02:33.14000:02:33.150 close to winter we couldn't risk putting 00:02:35.42000:02:35.430 it off any longer and when it went in 00:02:38.47900:02:38.489 there was a few things that we had to 00:02:40.69900:02:40.709 work with one was the existing pipe work 00:02:43.28000:02:43.290 we've done so much renovation work 00:02:45.25900:02:45.269 inside the house that we couldn't really 00:02:47.39000:02:47.400 start putting a new pipe system into the 00:02:50.75000:02:50.760 house so we had to work with what we had 00:02:52.30900:02:52.319 and that was a standard flow and return 00:02:55.27000:02:55.280 system 00:02:56.50900:02:56.519 I think it's an S plan we're going up to 00:02:59.24000:02:59.250 the hot water cylinder up in the year 00:03:01.46000:03:01.470 and the first floor now this is a system 00:03:04.15900:03:04.169 boiler which means it it works like a an 00:03:06.83000:03:06.840 old-school conventional boiler it's 00:03:08.42000:03:08.430 heating the house and a hot water 00:03:10.22000:03:10.230 cylinder rather than a combi boiler 00:03:12.19900:03:12.209 which is kind of heating on your water 00:03:14.80900:03:14.819 on demand so from that respect it was a 00:03:18.34900:03:18.359 fairly straightforward or so I thought 00:03:20.86900:03:20.879 in that we will kind of just tying into 00:03:23.08900:03:23.099 the existing pipe work but there's a 00:03:25.81900:03:25.829 little bit more to this boiler and a few 00:03:29.11900:03:29.129 extras that we had to work with right 00:03:30.77000:03:30.780 let's try and get through a few more of 00:03:33.19900:03:33.209 the terminologies so we've done system 00:03:37.21900:03:37.229 boiler that's what this is then you've 00:03:39.46900:03:39.479 got a two pipe and a four pipe system 00:03:41.47900:03:41.489 four pipe and the two pipe is the 00:03:44.21000:03:44.220 conventional set up I guess that's what 00:03:46.64000:03:46.650 we were used to where you've got that 00:03:48.46900:03:48.479 flow going to the house it's doing the 00:03:51.02000:03:51.030 radiators but it's also doing the hot 00:03:53.56900:03:53.579 water cylinder and you've got you know 00:03:55.81900:03:55.829 motorized valves to to control those the 00:03:59.03000:03:59.040 four pipe option what that lets you do 00:04:01.87900:04:01.889 is is it basically treats them as two 00:04:04.46000:04:04.470 separate circuits so your hot water 00:04:08.36000:04:08.370 cylinder where you kind of need your hot 00:04:10.64000:04:10.650 water to be up at sixty degrees let's 00:04:12.53000:04:12.540 say you're higher it's gonna put that 00:04:15.34900:04:15.359 temperature through that coil and then 00:04:17.99000:04:18.000 back down and take it to temperature but 00:04:20.39000:04:20.400 it allows you to bring your radiator 00:04:23.54000:04:23.550 temperatures down to a lower level so 00:04:25.61000:04:25.620 that might be beneficial if it's not so 00:04:27.95000:04:27.960 cold outside or if it's spring or autumn 00:04:30.46000:04:30.470 when you can basically drop your 00:04:32.74900:04:32.759 radiators down to a much more a lower 00:04:35.33000:04:35.340 temperature more efficient for the 00:04:36.98000:04:36.990 boiler 00:04:38.05000:04:38.060 and kind of more sensible for the house 00:04:40.77000:04:40.780 but it means your hot water is still 00:04:42.82000:04:42.830 gonna get the temperature so you have to 00:04:44.77000:04:44.780 have full pipe system to be able to 00:04:46.74000:04:46.750 enable that side of it and this allows 00:04:50.23000:04:50.240 for its odors of 200 because of that 00:04:53.90900:04:53.919 scenario I said if the pipe work and 00:04:56.11000:04:56.120 they said you know these big solid stone 00:04:57.67000:04:57.680 walls it wasn't the time for us to do 00:05:00.01000:05:00.020 that but it's nice to know we can 00:05:01.45000:05:01.460 upgrade this and just run those two 00:05:03.94000:05:03.950 extras across and it just means that we 00:05:07.15000:05:07.160 can kind of really bring down in 00:05:08.83000:05:08.840 certainly an arthouse spring and autumn 00:05:10.78000:05:10.790 we can bring those temperatures of the 00:05:12.79000:05:12.800 radiators down and keep the hot water as 00:05:15.15900:05:15.169 it is now where the compensation or 00:05:17.62000:05:17.630 weather comp is the other thing that 00:05:20.11000:05:20.120 comes up again and again with these 00:05:22.06000:05:22.070 modern boilers and these reasons are 00:05:24.37000:05:24.380 really good at that and basically that's 00:05:26.20000:05:26.210 gonna measure your outdoor temperature 00:05:28.03000:05:28.040 with a sensor I guess and and it will 00:05:30.96900:05:30.979 it'll heat your your radiators 00:05:34.15000:05:34.160 accordingly so if it happens to be a 00:05:35.95000:05:35.960 nice warm day then it will drop the 00:05:38.05000:05:38.060 temperature of your radiators to account 00:05:40.27000:05:40.280 for that and so again it's just these 00:05:43.30000:05:43.310 little incremental bits to make the 00:05:44.92000:05:44.930 boiler more and more efficient now for 00:05:47.71000:05:47.720 our house I didn't think that that was 00:05:50.98000:05:50.990 going to be enough of a again we'd need 00:05:53.83000:05:53.840 the full pipe system for that really and 00:05:55.77900:05:55.789 I didn't think it was going to be enough 00:05:57.67000:05:57.680 of a bonus to go to the extent of that 00:05:59.62000:05:59.630 work and and to warrant going for the 00:06:01.93000:06:01.940 full pipe weather compensation system 00:06:04.21000:06:04.220 the 200 has it I think the 100 has it or 00:06:07.87000:06:07.880 you can you can add it to it so again it 00:06:11.74000:06:11.750 can be an upgrade but for us knowing our 00:06:14.44000:06:14.450 heating demand in this house we've been 00:06:15.90900:06:15.919 here five years we know how much heat it 00:06:17.74000:06:17.750 needs and really it needs those 00:06:19.48000:06:19.490 temperatures of the radiators to be up 00:06:21.34000:06:21.350 pretty high so weather compensation on 00:06:23.59000:06:23.600 hold for us perfect for the majority of 00:06:26.62000:06:26.630 homes and I just think for us it we'd 00:06:29.98000:06:29.990 need to do some a little bit more 00:06:31.39000:06:31.400 insulation to the house and to make it 00:06:34.51000:06:34.520 worth doing 00:06:36.02900:06:36.039 goodness me I really wanted to get this 00:06:38.37900:06:38.389 video out but I could have waited until 00:06:39.55000:06:39.560 this room was finished okay and next 00:06:43.06000:06:43.070 thing to talk about I'm gonna getting 00:06:44.35000:06:44.360 out my comfort zone a little bit now 00:06:45.82000:06:45.830 we'll talk about the guts of this thing 00:06:47.50000:06:47.510 inside there is the heat exchanger 00:06:49.75000:06:49.760 which does all the work and in the 100 00:06:52.87000:06:52.880 and the 200 I believe that's the same 00:06:54.36000:06:54.370 heat exchanger and that is where the the 00:06:58.27000:06:58.280 reliability and and the efficiency and 00:07:00.91000:07:00.920 everything happens and really and it 00:07:03.22000:07:03.230 doesn't get much better than what's in 00:07:04.54000:07:04.550 this B's Minh so that was another plus 00:07:07.27000:07:07.280 and again that information just came in 00:07:09.19000:07:09.200 from all these different people on 00:07:10.39000:07:10.400 social media at plumbers who are just 00:07:12.43000:07:12.440 servicing the beginning again and they 00:07:13.90000:07:13.910 said this is the way to go another thing 00:07:16.42000:07:16.430 to mention is the two hundred model the 00:07:18.46000:07:18.470 Rolls Royce which is just a little bit 00:07:20.20000:07:20.210 up from this one you can actually vary 00:07:22.66000:07:22.670 your temperatures of different zones so 00:07:24.94000:07:24.950 like the four pipes four pipes system 00:07:27.13000:07:27.140 where you've got the flow temperature 00:07:29.02000:07:29.030 for the hot water being higher than your 00:07:31.21000:07:31.220 radiators I think you can I have and 00:07:34.24000:07:34.250 your underfloor heating for instance on 00:07:36.73000:07:36.740 a you know a lower flow temp which is 00:07:39.67000:07:39.680 what you want yet if you've got 00:07:41.56000:07:41.570 radiators you can keep them higher so 00:07:43.18000:07:43.190 that's another thing I mean that that 00:07:44.53000:07:44.540 two hundred really is a good way to go 00:07:46.30000:07:46.310 and perhaps it would have been relevant 00:07:49.27000:07:49.280 even more relevant here now that we've 00:07:51.70000:07:51.710 got some underfloor heating going in but 00:07:54.10000:07:54.110 we've got the existing set up which will 00:07:56.56000:07:56.570 blend it down and it should be able to 00:07:58.03000:07:58.040 fight let's get up and move around a bit 00:07:59.83000:07:59.840 some frozen to the floor right remember 00:08:03.85000:08:03.860 where we are now hypothermia setting in 00:08:05.65000:08:05.660 and so the the boiler came with the 00:08:08.95000:08:08.960 horizontal flu kit which basically takes 00:08:12.16000:08:12.170 it straight out through the external 00:08:13.90000:08:13.910 wall and we're just under two meters the 00:08:16.42000:08:16.430 other side so it's gonna have to have a 00:08:18.13000:08:18.140 cage over the flue outlet but really is 00:08:22.54000:08:22.550 super compact for it I mean this is the 00:08:24.73000:08:24.740 35 kilowatt and I imagine Li the lower 00:08:27.28000:08:27.290 models are much much smaller but coming 00:08:30.58000:08:30.590 from what we had before which was that 00:08:32.20000:08:32.210 monster of the biomass boiler which was 00:08:35.38000:08:35.390 a great bit of engineering but it just 00:08:37.51000:08:37.520 the the amount of space that it took up 00:08:39.78000:08:39.790 was was not really that practical okay a 00:08:43.06000:08:43.070 little bit on modulating now basically 00:08:46.42000:08:46.430 what that means it's just that the 00:08:47.83000:08:47.840 boiler can adapt its output when the 00:08:50.35000:08:50.360 demands lower it can modulate down so 00:08:52.90000:08:52.910 it's not just working flat out all the 00:08:54.55000:08:54.560 time and Jason gave me a really good 00:08:57.70000:08:57.710 analogy when I was filming the install 00:08:59.41000:08:59.420 and I'll try to put that bit in here 00:09:01.90000:09:01.910 he's basically 00:09:03.65000:09:03.660 I'm trying to explain to me in layman's 00:09:05.99000:09:06.000 terms if you were going to throw it from 00:09:08.36000:09:08.370 here here I saw here the path and you do 00:09:13.64000:09:13.650 you think it'd be more efficient to 00:09:15.70000:09:15.710 drive 90 miles an hour 10 miles an hour 00:09:19.70000:09:19.710 90 miles an hour at 10 miles an hour or 00:09:21.80000:09:21.810 do you think they'd be more efficient to 00:09:22.91000:09:22.920 drive it 40 all the way there and you 00:09:25.70000:09:25.710 get there at the same time though as the 00:09:27.08000:09:27.090 boy who fires up who's straight flat 00:09:28.64000:09:28.650 site goes off and goes straight the flat 00:09:31.28000:09:31.290 site and goes off such a saint hanging 00:09:32.93000:09:32.940 it whereas if you can keep it right now 00:09:34.58000:09:34.590 I mean it's working out it's almost 00:09:36.74000:09:36.750 moderate and lowest point so hopefully 00:09:38.84000:09:38.850 that makes a bit more sense and 00:09:40.24000:09:40.250 certainly if you drive the car it 00:09:42.05000:09:42.060 probably does and it just means that 00:09:44.12000:09:44.130 this spoiler when we're when we're under 00:09:46.07000:09:46.080 a much lower demand in the house that it 00:09:48.68000:09:48.690 will just drop down and there's some 00:09:50.30000:09:50.310 graduations on here on the screen 00:09:52.60000:09:52.610 underneath the the flow temperature this 00:09:55.37000:09:55.380 and graduations there and there's I 00:09:57.71000:09:57.720 think five or six and you can see at the 00:09:59.87000:09:59.880 moment only the first one is highlighted 00:10:01.40000:10:01.410 and that basically means the house is up 00:10:03.35000:10:03.360 to temperature almost and it's just 00:10:05.87000:10:05.880 modulated right down it's just on tick 00:10:07.67000:10:07.680 over what that means is that the only 00:10:10.37000:10:10.380 first thing in the morning really when 00:10:12.32000:10:12.330 it's really cold of course we're not in 00:10:13.76000:10:13.770 the middle of winter yet but this we're 00:10:15.74000:10:15.750 not using the full capacity of the 00:10:17.36000:10:17.370 boiler which means it's kind of ramping 00:10:19.46000:10:19.470 up a little bit more in the morning and 00:10:21.11000:10:21.120 then it drops it down as the demand goes 00:10:23.27000:10:23.280 down but what that means really is that 00:10:25.19000:10:25.200 this boiler has got the potential in it 00:10:27.14000:10:27.150 still for when we finished this side of 00:10:29.75000:10:29.760 it which is another 40 square meters it 00:10:32.00000:10:32.010 should be well insulated but it's 00:10:33.44000:10:33.450 another you know heating demand on the 00:10:35.72000:10:35.730 house and the other bathroom so this it 00:10:38.33000:10:38.340 means it's future proofing basically so 00:10:40.31000:10:40.320 I'm hoping that kind of that explains it 00:10:43.04000:10:43.050 and that at least I've got that right so 00:10:45.38000:10:45.390 I'm gonna leave this video here it as I 00:10:47.63000:10:47.640 said it was just all about the technical 00:10:49.10000:10:49.110 background to get in the boiler but the 00:10:51.47000:10:51.480 next video is where it all happens the 00:10:53.21000:10:53.220 action-packed stuff and it was really 00:10:54.59000:10:54.600 nice for me to get behind the camera and 00:10:57.23000:10:57.240 off the tools and kind of get a little 00:10:59.42000:10:59.430 bit more arty with it this is a great 00:11:01.73000:11:01.740 video it's gonna be out in a couple of 00:11:02.87000:11:02.880 days time so make sure that you 00:11:04.70000:11:04.710 subscribed and you click the bell symbol 00:11:06.65000:11:06.660 and you'll make that will give you a

00:11:14.03000:11:14.040 them I'm sure one of the reason guys 00:11:15.50000:11:15.510 will be 00:11:16.00900:11:16.019 here or another and heating engineer 00:11:17.47900:11:17.489 plumber will be able to answer your 00:11:19.24900:11:19.259 questions because I'm just a lay person 00:11:21.47000:11:21.480 needing a warm house this winter but 00:11:24.61900:11:24.629 again I can't express enough thanks to 00:11:26.98900:11:26.999 Jason our installer I'll put his link 00:11:29.11900:11:29.129 down below and also two V's but of 00:11:31.63900:11:31.649 course for helping us out and 00:11:32.92900:11:32.939 collaborating on the video I know that 00:11:35.11900:11:35.129 there's three girls in that house who 00:11:36.59000:11:36.600 are very very grateful I believe or not 00:11:38.84000:11:38.850 this is the first winter in five years 00:11:40.99900:11:41.009 that we've gone in to November with a 00:11:43.10000:11:43.110 working boiler I always say working the 00:11:45.61900:11:45.629 first you or first couple years we were 00:11:47.50900:11:47.519 struggling with that old oil boiler 00:11:49.03900:11:49.049 there were issues there then we had the 00:11:51.13900:11:51.149 biomass boiler for three years and in 00:11:53.66000:11:53.670 those three years although the boiler 00:11:55.81900:11:55.829 was pretty much faultless most of the 00:11:58.34000:11:58.350 time we were lugging around those 00:12:00.25900:12:00.269 pellets and a lot a lot of fellows it 00:12:04.72900:12:04.739 was keeping me fit but it was also 00:12:06.22900:12:06.239 dragging me down so now we've got a 00:12:08.53900:12:08.549 really good option here freed up a 00:12:11.41900:12:11.429 massive space and hopefully I can get 00:12:14.50900:12:14.519 this place finished and it'll all be 00:12:16.03900:12:16.049 wrapped up nicely in a nice warm cozy 00:12:19.42900:12:19.439 utility and his crack on got ceilings to 00:12:22.28000:12:22.290 finish insulation to put in and walls to 00:12:24.47000:12:24.480 build so thanks for watching around er 00:12:26.03000:12:26.040 if you can do it yourself I will see you 00:12:28.10000:12:28.110 next time 00:12:37.83000:12:37.840 you
