Good day,
yesterday we spoke with a builder about our new construction, I guess he is from the old school (30 years masonry business).
He would recommend a heating system with a solar system, heating panel (I think he means the heat exchanger), and a 300L buffer tank. The underfloor heating pipes he uses are made of an aluminum composite pipe and not plastic. He says the plastic pipes eventually draw in air. That sounds interesting at first, but he mentioned a flow temperature for the aluminum pipes of 60-65 °C. That is quite high.
How should this statement be assessed?
Don’t the plastic pipes run at about 35 °C? That would lead to higher heating costs with the composite pipe.
Thank you for the assessment and clarification....
Best regards
