Hello everyone!
My girlfriend and I have now found a semi-detached house built in 2000. We would now like to change and improve many things from an energy perspective during the renovation. The house is 140 sqm, has 5 rooms, and currently an unused attic. There is no basement. A heating system (defective) and an old Wikora water storage tank are located in the attic.
A underfloor heating system will be installed on the upper floor. In the bathroom, there is already floor heating via the return flow. This will remain. Underfloor heating is also to be installed in the living room (ground floor). There is also a stove there. The wall radiators in the rooms are to be removed.
The house will be equipped with cavity insulation. The attic will be subsequently insulated with cavity and counter-batten insulation. The ceiling of the upper floor is already insulated. Due to the floor hatch, we cannot place large water storage tanks in the attic – aside from the structural issues. Roller shutter boxes will also be insulated afterward.
We can't decide which condensing boiler to install, which water storage tank, and especially whether solar makes sense and is feasible. At the moment, we are considering a Viessmann Vitodens W300 + Vitotronic RF300 (radio & smartphone control) + 120 liter CUG storage tank.
- How would you proceed here?
- Does solar storage make sense? We cannot place a large storage tank in the attic.
The budget is very limited, as we are already investing quite a lot in cavity insulation, roof insulation, roller shutter boxes, underfloor heating, etc.
Best regards
Tobias
