All this talk of geothermal energy,sounds expensive!What about solar power,energy for free?With our restoration project our geometra advised us to have solar panels shown on the plans.Basicly it will be funded through the bank via a loan this is p
Need advice on cost of renovation of roof/house is old farmhouse 120sqm/geometra says it needs new insulation to be bring it up to modern building standards.Also blasting of old plaster on exterior to reveal old stonework.Can anyone help?
Hi MilesG, this sounds very interesting.We want to keep our open fire/back to basics.Do you have to make any special provision for installing,thats if you can find a supplier.
Think i am like you Alan its not my permanent residence. Think i will keep the old log fire you just dont see them anymore, call me old fashioned and nostalgic,lots of happy memories as a youngster with grandparents and family, sat around a roaring fire at Christmas,Eeh happy days!! but will also look into the modern methods that Badger and Sagraiasolar suggested.Mixture of old and new. Thanks.
Hi Badger,just to sort all this through with these options a ground source heat pump(GSHP)maybe too expensive. What about the use of air source heat pump(ASHP) Also for heating you mention the air/air inverter units,these sound a good way to go.What does a unit cost and are they economical to run? Also suggested previously hot water /wood burning stove mainly used in winter.Is the Nuos an option. If i am looking for a basic,low cost system,water and heating, with so many options,which way to go?
Thanks for the info Sagraiasolar,just love the look of open fire/but wood stove is probably the way to go and to run hot water.Your provision for heat pump sounds so easy with a few tubes,do you have any info/pictures.What do think about the Ariston Nuos is this system the type you explain?how does cost compare?
Hi Badger,Thanks for your knowledgable reply.Yes you are correct my house is 120sq mtrs approx with all the roof insulated,not conversant with all the technical terms but 11k for basic system,is out of my reach. At this time my pot of money is sadly just a pot(private pension stolen by the recession!!!) It was suggested to me to go for the bombola(installed for free?) because we are not resident at the house all year.We have also kept our open fire,its back to basics to try to make savings. Interesting Badger that you went through Atessa, its our local town,hence my user name.
Hi guys, Keep hearing about heat pumps,it sounds a great bit of kit,but the cost always sounds very expensive. What is the cost for a basic!! set up,say a 4 room house/ lounge/kitchen,utility shower room and 2 bedrooms and bathroom/shower?
It seems we are all being squeezed too hard,but what happens when the jug is empty? It does seem the only option is to opt out but how will you opt out of residency?
Hi Karen,Just posted on summer in Italy, thread from Now On.Everything sounded good with your surrounding neighbours and hoped you had resolved your water supply problem with your dodgy neighbour.
Hi Karen maybe i missed your post,did you resolve your water supply problem with your neighbour. What a wonderful feeling from your holiday,definatley "For lovers of all things Italian"
