    Hi All,
    I’m starting out on a new build in 2018 & I’m very new to the building world.
    There appears to be endless amount of information & options when it comes to Air to Water System/Companies in Ireland…. So where do I start??
    We are looking to install an Air to Water System to radiators; the house will be approx. 2,500 sq ft.
    What should I be looking for spec wise and what company and equipment are the best to go with
    Cheers

    What math is there to support this idea as the most efficient way to heat your house over say a 40 year life?

    Not sure what you mean. I think we will end up with a combo. The system will heat zones. Downstairs zone might be under floor while upstairs will be rads

    What water temperature are you expecting from the HP?
    Do you expect this temp all year round: i.e. when it is minus 5 outside?

    As far as I know the water temp is generally between 35 to 40 ish. I only learning about the system at the moment. But as far as I can tell it operates up - 20, it just uses more electricity to reach your required inside temp
