Qwerty,
Do you mean electric towel heaters? I assume that you cant run radiator type towel heaters at the temperature that UFH requires.
Thanks for that qwerty,
I'm waiting on a quote from a local installer who deals with NIBE, I've been in his house was very impressed with his set up. He reckons all his heating and hot water for a 4000sqft costs approx €800 a year. Even allowing for a little exaggeration on his part, this sounds very good, can you give me an idea of how much yours costs to run?
Qwerty,
Thanks a million, its brilliant to get some input from somebody actually using UFH. Can I ask if you have individual room thermostats or does the machine control the flow or the circulating temperature based on the return temperature from the loops. Also I assume the machine runs hot water priority,do you find that the water is hot enough, and enough of it for showers etc?
Sorry if I'm annoying your head but I'm only going to get favourable answers from a guy trying to sell me a system and I appreciate your responses.
One last thing, you said that the running costs didnt include nightsaver rates, does this mean your HP is running on nightsaver and that your actual costs are lower than those quoted?
qwerty, I am also considering the same system and your stats sound great. Did you go over the recommended insulation on your house? Also if you don't mind what size is your house.
Thanks very much

hi,am also putting in gshp in my new-build and am approved for grant.
will probably buy abroad as it is alot cheaper and will still get grant,(checked with sei).
irish suppliers are just charging above the odds for something that with a few internet clicks can be bought and shipped home and still save a few thousand euros .
i'm looking at the moment at a thermia heatpump ,10kw. from poland for under 6000 euro including shipping,
i installed the underfloor heating myself-all it is ,after all ,is laying piping in loops-no degree necessary.
the collector pipe in the garden is basically a jcb digging a narrow trench ,you lay the pipe, backfill, clap hands for job well done.
you still will need a plumber to connect the pipes to heatpump etc,
shopping around and doing your homework can save you alot of money,
oh-and a healty dose of common sense.
