Hello everyone,
we recently bought a mid-terrace house in need of renovation (built in 1970). We are still at the very beginning of planning the renovation and remodeling, but we are already trying to gather some ideas.
One of the many decisions to be made is the heating system.
Whether to go with a gas condensing boiler, an air source heat pump, or a combination of both remains to be seen. One thing is certain: I would like to have a photovoltaic system on the roof and a fireplace in the living room.
Regarding the type of heating, we face another question that needs to be decided in advance. Should we install new radiators, or would it make sense to switch to underfloor heating since all floor coverings and old radiators will need to be removed anyway? Does anyone have experience with either option or good advice?
Many thanks!!!

Sure.
Get cost estimates. Under "Tips," I was expecting something different...
We are currently in the middle of renovating an older building (a house from the 1960s) and had the same question. In the end, we chose the "classic" radiators (or a modern design of them).
One reason was the ceiling height. With our "old" floor structure, the room height is about 2.55 meters (8 feet 4 inches), but with underfloor heating, it would be closer to 2.47 meters (8 feet 1 inch). Besides the costs (which are already significantly higher than just replacing the flooring), this was the deciding factor.
