Hello everyone,
we are in the process of buying an old building that has only been heated with electric radiators until now. Since this is absolutely uneconomical, something new needs to be installed.
The house was built in 1890. It has a living area of 170m². This should be divided into two units (50+120m²). These will be occupied by us and my sister, so the consumption should be measurable separately. The house has no basement, so the boiler should be installed on the upper floor due to space reasons. The attic is not insulated yet, but this will be done first because it is going to be inhabited. Therefore, the ground floor, the upper floor, and the attic should be heated. Bathrooms will be installed on every floor.
We have thought about a gas combi boiler without a water storage tank, as well as aluminum composite pipes. So everything must be newly installed, built, and fitted. The gas connection still has to be provided by the city (approx. €2000), and we will of course leave the connection to the boiler to a professional company.
I am not worried about the craftsmanship since we are quite skilled in that area. However, I wanted to hear your opinion, as I have not installed a new heating system before. It would be great if you could recommend a few things.
Best regards
