  • Is heating through those vents you see on the walls/floor? A bit like those in some American homes?

  • Yes, the house we're buying is very close both in age and locaion to that and has the same heating. Apparently its awful as the air is super super dry, also no one wants to service the system. Not suprisingly ours will be going.

  • Might play nicer with an air source heat pump than a traditional wet central heating system. I’d recommend having a poke about before ripping it out.

  • there is a chap in Bromley who does them, i know this because we are potentially buying a flat of the same vintage and design, engineers condemn them and fit wet heating as they aren’t qualified for warm air, lots of people like them and they are quite efficient plus you can circulate air in summer and even fit a cold air unit to them.

    if purchase goes through we’ll be fitting a combi and rads because they dont do hot water and the flats have an ancient immersion buit into the wall in the bathroom which is not ideal.

    agree about the rads though but who wants to be wearing a hat indoors..
