Right, I think we've decided we're going to retrofit complete through house hydronic underfloor heating - but how do we heat it?
The floor space is roughly 1,900 sq/ft of bungalow, with high enough ceilings that raising floor height is not going to be too detrimental - of course the less we raise the floor the better.
As far as my understanding of the property goes is that it has a cement floor throughout, so we'd need a thermal insulation layer so we're not pumping heat straight in to that, and the heat rises through the house and not down to the earth - the warmup Total 16 system looks ideal to me, but am I misunderstanding what that system is best for?
This picture shows part of the house, and is how I assume the whole bungalow is floored - https://www.livingroom.gg/property_media/1502/47049/CRIFFEL72-112.jpg and this is the system I'm thinking looks like an ideal match for it https://www.warmup.co.uk/underfloor-heating/water/total-16
When it comes to heating the floor/whole house, is an air to water heat pump my most economical option long term?
