We are in the process of figuring out what sort of heating we will put into our 3000 sq ft storey and a half. we have looked into all the alternative heat sources and have decided we will go along those lines.
We have decided against geothermal (ESB costs) and would like to put in a wood chip burner (but we never put a garage in the plans)
We were also thinking of putting in a back boiler as well as the wood chip as we love the look of a natural fire and could make use of it.
Definitely going to put in the solar panels (free hot water in the summer!)
Have a few questions - has anyone any experience / advice??
Has anyone put in a back boiler recently? Is there much point to it anymore?
Can you put in a back boiler as well as the wood chips?
Can you lay down pipes for a wood chip without having the garage built? (We will have to wait for the house to be built before building the garage.)
Also are thinking we will go with underfloor heating ... even though we have heard there can be problems and the floors have to be taken up then ...
Thanks - all advice appreciated! B & R
