AdamUK72 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Hello everyone, Just introducing myself: I'm in the process of purchasing a house. It was built in the early 1970s and sorely needs upgrading. My aims are: Get off gas and install an ASHP with underfloor heating with solar and battery storage. Improve the insulation Rewire the house New glazing It's a pretty substantial amount of work but hopefully we'll have somewhere nice to live afterwards. Happy New Year Adam.

Redbeard Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Welcome! I assume those are not in priority order, but if they were intended to be I would switch 1 and 2 and fit in the current 3 and 4 around 1 and 2 (or 2 and 1!). Sounds like a good blank canvas. Will you be able to do all works while it is empty, or do you need to live there during works? Are you planning EWI? Edit: Just seen your thread re EWI. Cancel above Q!

AdamUK72 Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 Yep. In no particular order. Thankfully the house will be empty when we do most of the work. I'm still at a very early stage. We've not completed yet but I'm trying to do as much research as I can to make sure I'm well informed when I start talking to builders, contractors etc. Thanks for the reply 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 An interesting project. Consider installing MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
