Hello folks!
I hope you are all well, I’ve built a danwood 206 in the last 2 years in north east Scotland. Pretty happy with it all.. just looking for some tips on my heating system the after sales with danwood isn’t the greatest to be honest.
I’ve got a nibe air source heat pump with UFH on all the downstairs level, upstairs we have radiators, and UFH in the bathroom suites.
We also run a Zehnder ComfoAir Q, heat recovery system.
Like everyone I’ve taken electricity for granted and didn’t even think about it up until the price hike recently. The system we run is becoming increasingly unaffordable in my opinion. I’ve one 2 young children one room downstairs for the infant and her mother has UFH set about 20degrees, my eldest is upstairs with a radiator again, nothing silly in temperature.
I know we are in a cold snap, but we are using 60kw a day just now.
I monitored it recently when it was average temperature (Circa 10 degrees) I was using around 30kw a day.
Is this normal?
My question with anyone with experience, should my heating be on timers, or does it take as long to heat up a UFH it’s not economical using a timer system for it? Or is there any tips to make this more economical.
I keep thinking about ripping out Heat pump and replacing with oil boiler as it would be cheaper to run. Any advice appreciated!
I do have the wood burning stove in my open plan living space, so no heating is used in any communal areas.
Id recommend danwood highly, build quality was good, and fantastic the speed they work at, anyone that wants to ask questions about my specific build I’d be more than happy to discuss with them.
Regards
