Krissovo,
Whats happened the blog updates? I used love looking at them
Hi Krissovo,
I went for geothermal and UFH in my new build, house is 3200 sq foot..the net cost was 15K, payback within 7 years based on current oil usage. It will be up and running in the next month and i will get back to you if you are interested on the running costs
thanks wexford dude
im still thinking about heatpump and ufh at the min but by problem is do you have to use it to do all your water heating aswell , or can you use stove , solar etc.

I am starting a new build and looking at ICF as an option, who did you use and is it as good as they make out and how up to date was your Architect with it.
Firstly lads, if you want a cheaper way of heating your homes / house, I propose you build smaller ones.
When in Germany, where the quote for 400 - 500m2 house, doubt it. Compare apples with apples.

My home is 2550 sqft, homes in Germany are generally much larger than Irish homes so 250m2 + is fairly common. So I am comparing apples with apples.
As for building smaller I do not agree entirely, my build will be airtight and very well insulated. The quotes are coming back with the primary heating device no bigger than if the home was 1100sqft.
If going with Reward - just have your engineer pay particular attention to the detail around the reveals. Unless they've changed it, they used to shutter the reveals with timber. It needs to be waterproofed effectively. Otherwise Reward is a good system. Also need to ensure the walls are dead straight otherwise the external rendering will look really bad. It is difficult to rectify/striaghten with the type of render that is applied to ICF.
One of the most 'reasonably' priced HRV systems I came across when researching was from RVR ..if I recall. I didn't put it in though in the end (budget went through the roof - so some items went out the window!).
