We have a new building which is quite isolated and getting on mains gas is going to be prohibitively expensive. So we are taking the view to over-invest in insulated plasterboard and go with the oil tank and boiler. But is the below a decent price? SUPPLY AND FIT NEW GRANT EXTERNAL COMBINATION BOILER.

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

Into detail design stage for an extension to existing stone cottage. Basically a timber clad 2 storey box with a glass link to replace single storey hotchpotch that is there now. MBC have quoted for a passive slab (ouch£!) but due to size restiction will go for u=0.14 walls (open panel , 300mm finished) and u=0.14 flat roof by MBC if I can deal with the + VAT price. Existing gravity DHW gravity fed with pump for shower, supplied by a 2009 year oil fired Grant 15/28 kw utility condensing system boiler that also runs the rads. The rads will have to stay in the cottage but how to run UFH in the extension.. Based on an MBC house build nearby I'm pretty sure I won't need any heating on 1st floor apart from electric towel rads and/or electric mat for en-suite (although they don't have a link to a drafty cottage so slight concern!) Yes I'd like to do away with the oil boiler but not sure I can considering the poor performing cottage and potential costs. I'd like to go mains pressure also so UVC, (mains flow rates of 40 L/m). If so then potential for solar PV or solar Thermal if worth the investment. Do I fit a buffer for UFH to stop short cycling? Any thoughts? Any alternative schemes?
