Hi, first post so please go easy on me.
We're about to buy a derelict grade 2 farm house in the Peak District National Park and also a conservation area - the perfect storm of planning nighmares!
It's a 3 bedroom 2 storey stone built 19c with no heating in it. There are 2 fireplaces down stairs which we plan to put log burners in. But because of the above there are already some fairly stupid stipulations we need to stick to even before moving in.
Oil and gas heat is out of the question because we won't be alowed to have a fuel storage tank, we're not alowed wind, solar or ground source and I don't think air source will be up to the job, along with probably not getting permission for the unsightly heat exchanger outside.
So this just leaves electric. I don't mind electric heat but what type is likely to be the most efficient on an old house?
