Hello first of all,
the house has aged: year of construction 1984, gas heating
Exterior wall construction:
Aerated concrete: Ytong plan blocks G2 = 25cm
Facing brick = clinker
There is something between Ytong and clinker - I think air. You can see it here on the floor plan:
I want to insulate the house better. Is something like this worthwhile, or is it cheaper to tear down and rebuild?
Of course, slapping something onto the nice clinker also hurts. But energy costs will eventually hurt just as much.
The starting point for the insulation idea was the government's decision to ban gas heating.
A heat pump probably does not come into question because the house is too poorly insulated. Also, we do not have underfloor heating - our screed probably would not be suitable for that either. There are also tiles almost everywhere.
I don’t yet know which heating system is appropriate. But insulation certainly does no harm. We also have a stove, but it cannot be connected to a heating system. The stove fitter explained that again - otherwise we would have to replace the entire stove.
Solar thermal panels alone are of course not enough to heat the house. But I think it would be worth considering as a supplement.
How would you proceed? Whom does one turn to for insulation questions? There are painters for painting work, but for insulation work? What are the companies/experts called? Is there even a professional qualification for this? Who insulates and advises?
