Was on their data sheet, I would take all their figures with a lunch of salt though, yes, I'm sure they are inflated for marketing reasons. 50-55⁰ for water water would be plenty hot enough, it wasn't water temperature that was the issue before, it's the amount of available hot water. So...

Fastwarm claims typical output is 76w/m2, we'll tiling floor throughout with their 20mm boards and 16mm pipes. They claim you can tile directly on top of their 20mm boards. Available floor height for buildup in most rooms is only 30-40mm, so not much room for insulation. Was looking at the 6mm...

Thanks. Air source heat pump? What sort of size would be required? Would a heat pump be able to supply our hot water too though?

Hi, What size electric boiler should I be looking at to serve a low profile wet underfloor heating system? (Gas & oil not an option). Looking at Fastwarms 20mm low profile underfloor heating, won't be much in the way of floor insulation as I'll be retro fitting over existing concrete floor...

Hi Been considering options for a new heating system in a bungalow renovation project. Bungalow has approx 10 rooms (4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, kitchen, dining, utility room & entrance hall with long corridor down middle with all the rooms coming off the corridor. Total floor size is...

We're in a remote location, so no mains gas. It's a big house, but outside space is a premium so don't want oil or LPG tanks. We've only just moved in but I've seen previous readings of what the solar generated and it's quite good, and as I said it's a well insulated property (400mm rockwool in...

On economy 7 around 15p night, 30p day. The place is all electric and we prefer to keep it that way (has oil fired boiler which has died), so electric heating is only option, having rads with electric combi would be same running cost surely? Place is very well insulated though, so although it'll...

Why wouldn't it be a good idea?

Thanks for the answer, so as long as I'm under 13a for each one then that's a yes, as long as it's via an FCU? Sorry, I forgot to mention, I'll be doing the work but an electrician will check and make final connections before signing off, I was led to believe that's allowed? I'll run all this...

Hi, Installing some electric underfloor heating in 2 rooms, both will total approx 3kw each (20m² with 150w/m² mats), each on a 16a thermostat with 2.5mm² running to CU on 16a breaker each. However as there is limited space available in CU can they be connected to a single 32a breaker, then...

Electric is pretty much only option, yes, we're in a rural area, no mains gas etc. Don't really want oil or LPG so prefer to stick with electric only. We have sola panels on the roof currently not doing much, so was looking at the solar ready 300l Megaflo...

Hi, What's currently the best option to supply a bungalow (2 bed, 1 bathroom with shower) with hot water? The place has electric underfloor heating and some panel rads for heating so only need a hot water supply. Ideally on demand and something strong enough to run a decent thermostatic...

I read it sets rock hard when dampened and run over with whacker plate. I'll add a little cement in to for good measure and some waterproof to help orivest frost getting in. I tried type 2, but the bag was more like type 1... had stones 40-50mm in size which were too big. This is a farmer's...

We will look at alternatives yes. Another alternative is unvented hot water cylinder, isn't it? It doesn't solve the cost of electricity problem but as I say happy to suck that up for convenience, will be on economy 7 too. There's 6 solar panels installed already, but fitted wrong place...

We only need the boiler for hot water for kitchen tap and bathroom taps & shower. Heating will be underfloor heating throughout (ideally). House is fairly well insulated, 350mm in loft, 50mm kingspan in walls (not done yet, may go 100mm).
