Hi all,
Hope you can advise... I live in a small old cottage and I'm currently renovating. It really is small - fair-sized living room, tiny kitchen, bathroom approx. same size as in a semi-d, two small bedrooms.
I got in a wood burning stove about a month ago and find it fantastic for heating the living room but the heat doesn't filter down to the bedrooms, which are through the kitchen.
I have just had both bedrooms dry lined. We also put a double layer of insulation in the attic this year. At the moment the air down in the bedrooms is cold and damp in the winter and I have a problem with my clothes getting a bit mouldy in the wardrobes. Currently the rooms are heated with plug-in Dimplex heaters.
My plumber has given me a quote of €2k to install an oil fired central heating system. There'd be a rad in each bedroom and a rad in the living room. This quote includes four days' labour, a second-hand boiler (it's about two years old) the rads, a small oil tank and all the other bits and bobs needed.
Two questions:
1) Does this sound like a fair quote
2) Is OFCH the way to go?
Thanks a million.
