Hi all,

Not very well up on plumbing so was hoping someone here could offer advice. About to start building and need to make the heating decision. 3000sq ft, 2 storey. Lots of southern facing Windows. Uvalues all below 0.15 (prelim BER being done currently), solar panels feeding a 400l tank, solid fuel stove, mhrv
We both are leaning away from underfloor as like the immediate heat from radiators. Plus as I will have so much solar (and possibly pv to pass part L) I am not sure if a heat pump is worth it. Oil boiler seems like an easy option however I'm concerned about locking myself into fossil fuels. I was wondering if aluminium rads throughout would give me the option to change to a lower heat output appliance down the rd should it be necessary? Any advice on this is greatly appreciated
