Adsibob Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) A few people mentioning this on the forum. Went for a surf on the interweb to check it out, hoping to find some informative articles to better educate myself so I can follow the thread I started on the intricacies of my own heating system, but ended up getting sucked in to what must be a sales pitch to spend money on a a design service. Two questions: 1) is Heatgeek.com any good for learning enough about heating engineering to not get scammed by an engineer; and 2) which of these: is most similar to my house, given I took a 3bed 1930s semi, chopped the back and top off it, added a new roof and loft conversion and 2 storey rear extension and covered the whole thing in about 40mm of K7 EWI plus silicone render. Is the average of a 1930s house plus a 2020s house, a 1975 house? Edited February 3 by Adsibob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S2D2 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 The upgrades part of the site is for an ASHP Install quote, if you just want information from their articles try https://www.heatgeek.com/category/knowledge/ or their YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@HeatGeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would be surprised if they tried to scam you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
