HI all,
Im new to the site, just to let you no tho, for my sins I have been doing this for 23 years and I am gas safe.
Right my problem, buying a new house next year, it’s a 2 bed cottage with a floor area of about 64 2m, there will be on and of about 2 adults and 3 kids there (one of the out building will be made for live).
Heating?? I have been looking at a heat only boiler (I like the icos ideal) with a log burner and thermal store and if I win the lotto later on add solar,
Question,,,, in summer I will be heating all that water in the store just for hot water, the fire would not be use in summer, so im I just waste money and just go for a combi and have the space? It just on my mind that when I have the fire on I am wasting all that energy, plus I am buying the small wood land behind the cottage that should keep me in wood for 2 years and im good friend with 2 tree surgeons.
Would really appreciate any help cos this research is driving me mad!
