Planning a new build, and dont know where to start?! Its two storey, probably about 2800 sq ft.
Initial thoughts were a multifuel stove with back boiler in open plan kitchen/living area, to heat water and radiators during the winter.
And possibly solar panels for hot water during the summer. (this doesnt seem to be a very cost effective option by the sounds of things).
And then an oil fired central heating as back up. (eg to have the house warm for first thing in the morning).
Having lived in a poorly insultated and draughtly house that is my top priority.
The house will be occupied all days most days (I work part time from home).
Have no idea whether we should be going for UFH - it seems to be the done thing now, is it just a fad?
Will probably just have the rads upstairs, the back boiler should be able to have these warmed for bedtime.
And then there is all the new renewable stuff? Where is the best place to get recommendations for the most cost effective setup?
