Just curious if anyone has the grant solo fan convector rads (or similar) and how they find them compared to traditional radiators. I'm in the middle of planning a refurb of an existing farmhouse and am trying to decide on the heating system. The current plan is for a solid fuel range in the kitchen which will heat hot water and rads - this will supplement with an oil-fired external boiler. I like the idea of fan rads as I imagine they would give a good sense of comfort in the room quite quickly (open to correction); or are these types of rads better suited to Heat Pump systems only? Having said that the Grant brochure does reference OFCH systems as being compatible.
I was tempted to go down the heat pump route but as the house doesn't have any heating system at present it's hard to know if it would be sufficient. I think OFCH is less risky at the moment.
