I have found it hard to find the information I need to mak a decision as all the heat pump suppliers are quite guarded or try to hard sell me when I ask about costs.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Katy </p> http://forum.mybarnconversion.com/topic/ground-source-heat-pumps-v-air-source-heat#post-10 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 20:36:02 +0000 Barney 10@http://forum.mybarnconversion.com/ <p>Looking on the site about ground source heat pumps it says that cost of installation is comparible. I have been quoted £16000.00. This is much more than a traditional heating system. We are also looking at the air source pump. We have been told that the gound source heat pump is the most efficient but are also looking into the air source option coupled with air exchange. Can you enlighten me further. Would be interested in other comments which may be helpful.</p> <p>Barney </p> http://forum.mybarnconversion.com/topic/heating-a-chapel-conversion#post-8 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 11:02:58 +0000 comment_poster 8@http://forum.mybarnconversion.com/ <p>jbm1967 asks an interesting question on the main site about <a href="http://www.mybarnconversion.com/2007/07/10/air-source-heat-pump/#comment-1220">heating</a>:</p> <blockquote><p> I live in a chapel conversion built in late 18th century. It has a 20ft high ceiling in main room and this room is 36 ft x 36ft. I installed underfloor heating in this main room and it works well (can get room to about 21 c in winter previous year with rads 18.5c tops). All other rooms have conventional rads and are all warm enough. The problem I have is with oil consumption. I use 1200 ltrs a month from approx Oct - May. Yes seriously 1200 ltrs a month and at £0.60 a ltr I’ll soon be going bankrupt. I have insulated under the ufh and in the loft but there is nothing I can do to the walls (grade 2 listed building with lath and plaster walls) I cannot decide if air source pumps is the way to go or something like a wood pellet stove. I need about 33kw (and due to heat loss running this almost constant) Anyone got any ideas how I can save money in the long term?</p> </blockquote> http://forum.mybarnconversion.com/topic/pellet-stoves#post-5 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:55:18 +0000 admin 5@http://forum.mybarnconversion.com/ <p>I'm interested in pellet stoves as a component in an eco heating system as they seem to offer a convenient and effective solution. However, I have a number of concerns in regard to fuel in terms of its availability, quality and the dependence on suppliers.</p> <p>Does anyone have experiences or information that they can share? </p>
