Hi there Any feedback on using K-rend now you're a few years down the line? I am thinking of it and would like to hear how it weathers.
-
Thank you for the ideas
-
I'll definitely investigate this further, thank you
-
Thank you...from another group Mitsubishi seems to be very popular in Ireland as a whole.
-
Out of curiosity what make did you get and how long have you had it?
-
Yes, I remember that being discussed now...thank you!
-
Thank you, it will be worth considering the costs for both. I have seen Polar Energi and Mitsubishi Ecodan recommended; are there any particular brands you'd add for consideration?

I am not entirely sure about how to model the performance of the house at the outset but will investigate. Ventilation strategy is a PIV unit as I am an open the windows person all year round. Main living space of the house will get sun throughout the day East through to West and that overheating you mentioned has been in my mind give the East / South corner is double-height window. As an NI native sun and shining is rarely used to describe here; currently it's lashing!!

Nothing has put me off ASHP; I remain open to options. I thought this might give the best of both worlds but wanted to find out if anyone had experience of it. I am also on a tight budget and noted the OIl boiler can go in with HP added later, if desired

Totally clueless and overwhelmed.......help!

I feel your novice pain! I have a house designed with master bedroom upstairs but also a bedroom ensuite downstairs...I was thinking lifetime homes. The space can act as a playroom or 'good' room if not required as a downstairs bedroom immediately. With a burgeoning family I'd think storage. The space above my garage will be my attic as I am fed up climbing up steps into roof spaces. I have no doubt I will see you on here again... -
Hi there Just starting out on a house build and find there are A LOT of decisions. Planning permission has been granted but that's as far as I am. I would appreciate some thoughts on heating systems. Plan is a high level of insulation (eg CWI: 150mm thick Kingspan Eco Bead / Quinn lite block, Floor: 100mm foil backed polystyrene) , triple glazing (uPVC frame) UFH for downstairs and radiators upstairs. I've considered Heat Pumps but I am being recommended OFCH - specifically Grant Vortex. In looking at this option I came across Hybrids and wondered if anyone had experience of this: Grant VortexAir Range: https://www.grantuk.com/products/hybrids/? I live in NI so there are no grants available to apply for... Any advice appreciate Meabh
