hi
we are currently looking at buying an old farmhouse, which will undergo a complete renovation. As we will be installing a whole new heating system, i was wondering if anyone has any experience of the following
- electric boiler (not the old night storage heating!)
- oil heating
- solar panels, wind turbines, generating electricity to the house.
- type of glazing (double vs triple)
- rainwater toilet flush
there is no gas to the property, so our choice is electric or oil. I have no direct experience of either so would be interested in people's views.
i like the idea of things like triple glazing, flushing toilet with rain water etc, and especially solar panels etc. I know you can probably get some sort of grants for this type of thing too.
Any specific brands/type that come recommended?
Cheers!
