I have purchased an old villa in Dunedin and installing heating is to be my first upgrade but it's proving a challenge.
There is a central hallway with a lounge at the front of the property, the kitchen / diner at the rear (a bedroom in between them) & 2 other bedrooms on the opposite side of the hallway.
Beyond the k/d is a laundry, bathroom and WC on a concrete base with a very shallow roof (added circa 1974) - this area is absolutely freeeeeezing and the advisor deemed this area as "difficult" and "costly"
I've had a couple of 'heating' advisors to visit and one solution is a pellet boiler installed in the lounge which feeds hot water to radiators in each bedroom and in the hallway. There is good clearance under the house (1-1.5m) so it would be relatively easy to run the pipe work although lengthy.
Many heating shops in Dunedin sell pellet fires but they don't sell the stoves which can run central heating, but I don't really want to rely on 1 advisor / 1 quote.
Any personal experience of pellet fires / stoves & central heating?
Note: Dunedin doesn't have mains gas and LPG is more costly to run than a pellet stove
