[QUOTE="farmerm, post: 7997955, member: 7195"] well ground, air or biomass are all going to require major work almost gutting the property to install pipework and radiators... any of the three will cost a fortune to run without an equal investment in insulation and draft proofiing. Sadly there are few ways to make an old farmhouse warm, dry and economical without spending a big dollop of cash up front. The grant funding seem to have largely dried up but some might qualify under ECO? [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.simpleenergyadvice.org.uk/pages/energy-company-obligation[/URL] or a local scheme [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.simpleenergyadvice.org.uk/grants[/URL] I fear warm and dry might come at the cost of selling off a couple of acres but one only lives once.... if it is an option why suffer living a lifetime of cold and damp to hold on to a corner of land which may ultimately fund ones offspring's divorce lawer's all inclusive trip to the Maldives...
