Old red brick house has underfloor heating. What about solar

dewsbury · 2016-02-10 20:41:14

Hi, My house is circa 1904 and we put underfloor heating into it about 15 years ago. The heating works ok but our gas bills are high and the rooms can be cold in winter. Would it be worth getting solar panels? Would they give heat in the winter (we have excellent roof space)? What sort of price would a good setup be?

Imo, no.
Invest in understanding why the house is cold in the first place and tackle this first.
