January 3, 20242 yr 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.
January 3, 20242 yr 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! Edited January 3, 20242 yr by Redbeard Noted other thread
January 3, 20242 yr Author 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 🙂
January 3, 20242 yr An interesting project. Consider installing MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) too.
