Combi solar dilema. Could some one please advise me. 2 years ago we had 2 electric showers in the house and an 18yr old boiler. So as electricity is more expensive than Gas to heat water when we opted for a new boiler we decided to get a combi (Ideal logic Max combi C 30IE) but when the...

Hi Thanks for this advice, but replacing showers goes hand in hand with option of either going for the solar PV or combi boiler, house is a 4 bed 1,700 sq meters. No we really just use the one shower the second shower is on ground floor and rarely used. Re the solar am I correct that I would...

Hi newirishman, I was in Lamartine and was demoedemonst the Band G and was very impressed and could clearly see the massive difference it made, however unfortunately I went for the Stovax with a Fan at a different store and unfortunately it appears to have no effect what is ever:(

We gotga fire inset Riva 55 inserted over the summer with the fan, they did not have a fan on the demo one in the shop and they advised that I didn't need it and stove it's self would be enough, they also said they rarely fit them, however the stovax company recommend a fan to be inserted to...

Fair enough.. ah the legacy of how the recession has made us paronoid, we moved our tracker 3yrs ago but did not increase our borrowings

Thanks Susie I am living in south Dublin .. I wonder is this affecting my price .. the inset stove is required in a large open plan kitchen where we have a fire place, we also have a smaller sitting room but fire is sufficient there

Hi Delboy, I am in very same situation as you we moved 3 yrs ago and only have 2 yey left , so initially was delighted with the news however after all that's happened I don't trust the banks they give nothing away for free, I am playing devils advocate here but as the irish Banks have some of...

Hi am I going wrong some where I have priced three places for an insert and two places have quoted 6500 and the third 7500, this is for a stovax fire insert, flue, lining, hearth, labour and new mantle (1750 average cost for mantle) as our current mantle is wooden. Am I going to the wrong place...

Hi all, Thanks for responses, family are willing to give 100k as a gift/advance on inheritance. The house is worth 220/230 so in negative equity of 160/170, so if we sold we would still owe 60/70 and I don't think a bank would approve us for any more than 300 which just leaves 220 to buy some...

We took out mortgage for 440, its now down to 390 our repayments are 1850 per month, if we rented the house out we would only get about 1200 per month, (its in Monkstown farm) and as we want to upgrade any reasonable size house rent would be at least 1900 in the greater area + have to subsidise...
