Coda II
getting there slowly
Probably closer to 20 years ago I replaced (or had them replaced) storage heaters, immersion heater & electric shower with a gas combi boiler and radiators (and no water tank at all). Due to not being on mains gas and not having space for a static tank the gas is delivered in cylinders by Calor which need changing appr. monthly in the winter and much less often in the summer. The system works but it does mean remembering to check gas levels and order as necessary.
With the gradual move away from fossil fuels I am now starting to wonder what the most straightforward like for like electric system would be if/when the gas boiler needs replacing.
As it is an older property, damp is an ongoing though not serious issue so I have looked at whole house dehumidifier/heating systems but these generally require a loft space, which we also don’t have.
So, are there new solutions to household heating and hot water that I should be looking at? Anything on the heat pump side is probably a nonstarter due to space issues.
