Hi all,
Could anyone advise me on the cost of putting an air to water heating system into a 1970s house please.

Thanks

I was talking to a local installer yesterday after we met. Looking at 10k plus upgrade of radiators. So 13k approximately.

Mine is a newer house!

That's a difficult Q to answer without a lot more info about your house. Have you looked at the Coonstruction & Planning forum here on Boards? This subject has been discussed from every angle on there.

Do your research, get 3 quotes before buying, and talk to others who have done what you are planning to do.

In simple terms, depends on if this work is already done, but insulation, airtightness and possibly cold bridging need to be tackled first. These give best return for you buck and reduce the heating demand. a reduced heating demand is essential for Air to Water as it will cost a fortune to run otherwise.

Thanks for ur reply. We are hoping to do external insulation too. But I havent heard of cold bridging. Must look it up.

We just want to make the house as eco friendly as possible. Maybe there are other heatimg systems I could look into.

I think you'll have your work cut out for you in making the house air tight.

As already said, get that all done first and then decide if you need/want A2H.
