Hi,
I live in 2 bedroom bungalow and I am looking at the possibility of having an Air Source Heat Pump installed. It currently has one layer of insulation in the loft so will need topping up. It also has cavity wall insulation, although I'm not sure on the quality of it as it seems to track water across to the inner leaf. Is 270mm loft insulation and cavity wall insulation good enough? There is no floor insulation as it was built in 1969, and i don't want to dig the floor up.
I'm currently looking at either Dimplex, Panasonic or Samsung for the ASHP.
Im also looking at using Dimplex Smart Radiators, Smiths Ecovectors or Aluminium Radiators as i have heard that they work better than standard radiators. Im aware that underfloor heating is the best option but again i don't want to dig the floor up. I currently have only about 30mm screed on top of the concrete slab so by the time i have put down insulation and then screed it will be too high, which would mean moving all the doorways up.
I'm just looking to see if anyone has been in a similar situation of if anyone else has an opinion.
Cheers
