Thermal Heating/Air Conditioning

Post by Geoff Simcox »

Hi,

My largish Villa with marble floors and electric radiators only is in need of better heating to make it more comfortably habitable in the Winter at reasonable running costs. Air conditioning for the Summer would not go amiss.

A thermal installation and heat pumps seems to be the modern way to go, Can anyone please recommend a Company that can a comparative report on what may be the best option.

Best Wishes for the New Year.

Hi Geoff,

I spoke to a guy called George from SACL on the N125 near Porches.

He seems to be very knowledgable although I ended up buying a solar / heat pump system from another company.

If you don't already have under floor heating pipework and you have marble floors then your options are limited. First thing to look at is insulation, then solar and after that alternative energy sources.
