[QUOTE="honeyend, post: 6647129, member: 23108"] We have air source with 9kw of solar panels, the panels pay for any electric bought in. We use no other fuel. For a lot of people our house would be too warm, its about 22C. Even with the heating off overnight and a frost it on it only drops to 19C. We have no heating upstairs except for an electric heater in the bedroom which cuts in when its below 18C. I was brought up with jackfrost on the inside of the windows so I do not like it too chilly. As well as thick insulation we have thick walls, so heat is retained and we have a fair amount of solar gain, but I am glad we do only have a lot of glass on the shady side of the house or else we would fry. We have two Velux to let out excess heat in summer, as well as for ventilation. When they did the EPC it was A+, with no fancy gagets. I like to be able to open a window. I like it because there is very little tempreture variation from room to room, even the ones not regularly in use, the pipes that carry the heated water to the bedrooms also keep those rooms at about 19C in winter. The only negative I would say is although we employed people who had previous experience of under floor heating and air source, the plumbing was fitted incorrectly, three plumbers later, all with previous experience, and no long term solution, we resorted to emailing Panasonic photos, and their head technical person pointed out the were bits missed out, and some of it fitted upside down so its had a home made none experts bodge, and now works better.
