Hi Guys
Haven't been on the forum for a while, major life change and all that(just been reading about the mid-life crises of others) Am now full time working in France, got registered, have set up my own workshop, and am now renovating the usual enormous pile of rubble in to a house...
ANYWAY....question time is here again, HEATING SYSTEMS. haven't got a bleedin' clue!!! Good with wood, rubbish with kilowatts.
I am installing a Central heating system soon, here's the list of Q's in no particular order. If any of the Q's could be answered it would be a great help...really.
1) Wall mounted oil filled rads versus ceramic Rads. Differences, effectiveness and costs to run.
2)is it possible to fit a woodburning stove with backboiler in conjunction with an electric boiler, so when the stove is not in use I can still have a warm house?
3) Are the new electric boilers expensive to run on their own. Prices here for electricity are comparable with uk.
4) Does anybody have good ideas for cheap and efficient heating. (apart from running alot)
The house is BIG, and I have a mixture of stone and insulated plasterboarded walls. Really am stuck on this one. I just don't understand all the jargon and complexities - it's like a dark Art.
Thanks Guys, ANY help would be appreciated.
