Hello,
we are considering buying a beautiful half-timbered house from 1919. The exterior is plastered, but nicely and professionally done, at least according to the building expert. It has 130sqm (1400 sq ft) of living space and will be for 2-5 people.
Since there is no heating installed yet—the cast iron stoves will be removed—we are thinking about a sensible heating system. We would like to install underfloor heating ourselves throughout the house. Because adding height is difficult, we thought about milling grooves into the floor, which apparently is possible. However, we still need to check whether this can be done with these floors. Has anyone here done this before and can share their experience?
An air-source heat pump does not seem to be the best option, so we are considering a low-temperature gas condensing boiler combined with solar thermal.
What could we realistically do ourselves? I assume laying the pipes and, if the floor allows, milling the channels for the pipes with a floor milling machine. However, I have no idea how much time to plan for this.
I am currently collecting quotes from different suppliers but have not yet figured out which ones are truly reliable and good, especially regarding durability. I would also be interested in any information you can share.
So, please let me know your suggestions and tips.
Best regards,
MaHaus

Hi,
I just came across something. (Uh, electric? No, we’re not doing that, or are there solar panels included?)
Does anyone know the thin-film system from effidur? It’s also suitable for retrofitting older buildings with wooden floorboards.
It seems interesting to me, although quite expensive.
Where are the heating manifolds usually installed, and how much space do they require?
Regards
