underfloor heating tiled floor
4 Answers
considering this for the whole of the ground floor, as the house is old we are insulating the inside of exterior walls, renovating existing DG windows. There will also be a wood burner in the lounge but is under floor heating sufficient as the main heating on the ground floor..... I had been told it is not sufficient alone.....
I am interested to go for an all electric system and do away with the oil system currently there and whole system has to be removed anyway as its a one pipe system, Then add a possible solar array, electric boiler and run economy 10?
I have been told there are primary and secondary underfloor systems and to just put the most powerful one in, if the system is warm and efficient enough I fancy putting it in upper two floors under the carpet.
I here underfloor heating stops cold spots and does away with annoying radiators which limit where furniture can be placed.
would this with a ground source heat pump be more sufficient heat wise....maybe worth looking into the cost of that?
Thanks for any help
