happylad · 2017-07-11 19:29:32

Hello, I am think of putting in an air to water system into my house. It 3000sqr ft and has underfloor heating upstart and downstairs. It was built in 2009. Just thinking about using this as a heating system. Any recommendations or advise would be great

There is also the question of, type of ground etc. Some don't perform too good.
Fine if it works.
A while since I did figures but to my memory, ground cost a lot more than 2K extra.

Just the pipe and the digging of it was the extra for us. I think 12k was the total cost. That was 2009. A neighbour put in the air to water at 9kish around the same time

Reggie, you and I are farmers and a bit of digging and groundworks wouldn't bother either of us. In real full pricing terms, I think it would be more and the plant is dearer. Again I would have to check.
Also remember, house builds now are a higher standard, using only about €500/year for space heating. What capital spend is worth getting €100 off that?

Worse with solar panels, which save about €170/year on hot water.
