Hi all,
I have been researching heating systems and have done alot of searching and reading. From all the information available it is quite hard to sometimes lay out the information and judge what the best way to go is.
I have come to the conclusion that i would like to install an Aerothermal Heating system in my house (2 bedroom bungalow - therefore Geothermal would be nigh impossible as the back garden is quite small)
I have looked on the website www.sweco.ie and find this very interesting especially the Aerothermal information. However i am relunctant to belive everything the website says and their sales people for that matter.
If anybody coud answer the following questions i would be most grateful:
(1) As it stands i receive a gas and esb bill. With the Aerothermal i will eliminate the need for gas (my cooker is electric). How much extra in esb bill will it cost to run the Aerothermal system? (again 2 bedroom small bungalow)
From info i have research some people say it is expensive others say using night time saver it is cheap.
(2) What would the cost of installing such a system in a house like mine?
(3) sorry this might sound like a really stupid question but exactly how would a night time saver rate work with this system. Not very techie when it comes to DIY but from my understanding my heating system which is gas, boiler, water tank and radiators. If i want heating on i turn it on! I can't use night time saver cause it does not contain that function AM I RIGHT IN SAYING THIS??
Therefore if i switch does the aerothermal heat up at night and then when you switch it on during day releases its HEAT (if that is the way to say it)
As you can prob tell very confused. Have really tried goign through boards.ie sei.ie and many other websites.
Some plain english and a sympathetic person to my stupidity would be fantastic.
Thanks for all replies and just to say WONDERFUL SITE!!
