Hi All,
Can anybody help me?
We inherited a '70's bungalow which was designed for oil-fired warm air - you know, the system where a large tin can had a coil around it and vents at floor and ceiling level distributed the heat. When the communal oil became uneconomic storage heaters were put in on Economy10. We put a multifuel burner in the boiler house and until recently burnt pallets - cheap and efficient but time consuming and dirty, requiring a lot of physical effort which is becoming a problem.
We have no access to natural gas, have no room for LPG bulk storage, concrete floors, grey hair and arthritis!
In the dim and distant past I remember a system which used a large tank with two immersion heaters, using Economy10. We have solar pv with a diverter to the immersion heater and feel that the sort of system I envisage would be relatively economic but am having trouble finding a suitable thermal store/cylinder.
Do we need a heat exchange unit?
Any suggestions will be welcome.
