Alternative heating system

    Hi

    The current heating system is a grant oil boiler. It’s over 20 years old with no zonal heating. We are in the house since 06. Just wondering what l is a decent alternative to an oil burner and what would the annual running cost be?

    I’d estimate we don’t spend much more than 800€ a year currently on oil. The guy who services it says a new boiler would save 20€ per hundred on current oil spend. But he also says if it running leave it as is.

    Thx

    The only alternative you have at the moment is, if there is natural gas in your area.
    If it is not maybe look at your house as a bigger picture and keep with your boiler at the moment.
    Oil is cheap at the moment and maybe look at investing in insulation within your house to future prove for a day when oil becomes more expensive and your house could be heat pump ready in the future.

    Zoning of our house is the most beneficial at this time to reduce your current oil bills. Good zoning could save up to 25% on heating bill and a grant of 700 euro can be got from Seai if your house was built before 2006.
