We may be getting a house soon, fingers crossed. Currently there there are night storage heaters for heating and an electric immersion heater for hot water. We currently have NS heaters in our rental property, which I hate and refuse to have in any house I own. I will be removing the NS heaters as one of my first jobs, should we get the house!
There is a gas supply to the front of the property, which was fitted after the property was built but it is not connected to anything in the house.
So what are my options as far as a heating and hot water system? It is a 3 bed semi, with 1 bathroom, we don't currently have any kids and only occasionally have guests. I like to shower in the evening after getting back from work and SWMBO likes to shower in the mornings. Other than the shower/bath and basin in the bathroom it is just the kitchen sink that needs hot water. I could fit a regular combi and rads but some of you gas fitters are not really fans of combis. Ideally we don't want to spend a fortune on heating water that is only used a couple of times a day.
There is an electric fire in the living room which we would like to change for a wood burner at some some stage too.
The garden is not big enough for ground source heat pumps etc. The idea is to do up and live in the house for a couple of years, then sell it, so we are not really looking for things that take 25 years to pay for themselves.
