    Afternoon folks,

    I'm just after buying a site that i will be building a standard size 3 bedroom, 2 story house on, and i am looking into what heating system i want to go ahead with.
    Was planning on either the pellet burner/back burner, or the under floor..or even just gas, but then i heard about thermodynamic heating.

    Just wondering if anyone has had this kind of system installed in their homes, and if so, what their opinion of it is.

    From looking it up online it looks to good to be true, so looking for someone with firsthand dealings with it.

    I have no idea what "thermodynamic heating" is.

    If I may be so bold as to suggest you're putting the cart before the horse somewhat.

    Get the building fabric right and you will need a very simple, small and cheap heating system. Perhaps you could share the build specs with us. You will get a much better response.

    Thermodynamic heating is just a heat pump, that's linked to a black panel that's mounted on the roof or similar.

    You would really want to be doing your research before investing money in this.

    Personally I would be spending my money on improving the building fabric and airtightness.
