Hi DQuinn
That was exactly what i was looking for, thanks
What about what bskinti is saying about taking ages to heat up? Do you have it on during the summer months? Can i also ask how much it cost you to install?
DQuinn,
How much area did you need for your collector i've been hearing a lot of different suggestions
Did you have any problems in deciding where to put the collector as it restricts any future building, patios, changes in the garden sowing trees etc
Dquinn,
from Whom/where did you get your system, if you don't mind sharing
thx

I'm very interested on this too. Our site is hilly (not sure if that makes a difference), but i've heard you need to dig up about twice the footprint of your house.
What happens if the tree's you plant in your garden get in around the yards of piping underground? (seriously)
The option i'm interesting in is the alternative one whereby you drill down 2 parallel holes about 60 meters I think. Its more expensive, but does it give the same results?
We used 100mm xtratherm on the ground floor, 25mm on firstfloor, 105mm Aeroboard platinum in the cavitys, 125mm (100mm between joists and 25mm beneath) on the sloping ceilings and 300mm fibreglass in the attic space.Dquinn\qwerty
fair play for going to such lengths to analyse the cost of your heating system. I was wondering what insulation you used on your house as the heating system seems to be very efficient!! also I have heard that using underfloor heating restricts the type of floor finish you use?? I would like to use tiles in my kitchen hallway and dining room but the rest I would prefer to finish in carpet, have you or anybody else had problems with this??

InchByInch:
He went with a floated floor and is happy with that. The specialists
seem to advice against the floated floor on account of air gaps
which will impede the heat transfer. I'm still trying to make a decision
as to whether to float the engineered boards or to have them
glued down.
