I'd like to pick your brains if you know or have experience with a house that has a combination of both radiators and underfloor heating. They are not two separate things with their own boilers, are they? It is all one system, isn't it? I am just looking into what boiler to choose that would be suitable for the combination of UFH and radiators. I believe condensing boilers are suitable for UFH but will they work with radiators at the same time as well? Could I go for any UFH make and any boiler make? Would they be compatible with each other and with radiators?
It is for a three bedrooms house. The whole house would have radiators (up to 5 including towel radiators) apart from first floor bedroom and kitchen on ground floor where I am hoping to have UFH both of which have timber suspended floor.
For the boiler requirements does the area of UFH matter? It may be as little as 19 m2 or 59 m2 total.
Could I disable the kitchen UFH if it gets too hot by e.g. cooking but keep the radiators and UFH in the rest of the house on?
Very grateful for any useful comments, suggestions, tips. Is it worth looking into heating skirting boards at all?
