Attached is a floor plan. Been "sold" two very different quotes, one different from the other: Company A: 14kw TQ315 system, 6 outlets. Says Company B is trying to oversell me a unit too large and is moving old stock. $2,450 installed. Company B: 20kw TQM520 system, 7 outlets. Says if I install a smaller unit it would be very inefficient and I'd be basically back to square one and wasted my money. To be honest he sounded more professional? $4,000 installed. All bedroom windows face North and is by far the warmest parts of the house, the lounge room is frigid!! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: What size Ducted Heating System? Two completely quotes 2Jul 10, 2017 1:11 pm I don't know much about heating systems, but as a comparison, our old house was a brick ex com home and we put ducted heating in. 6 points - 1 in each bedroom, 2 in the lounge and an oversized one in the kitchen/dining. We paid just under $3,500, which included an upgraded controller. I don't have any details on it as we left the paperwork at the old place, but I remember that we opted for one model up from the basic. This was installed in the subfloor. Worked well. What size Ducted Heating System? Two completely quotes 3Jul 10, 2017 1:45 pm See if you can get your system zoned so that you are only heating areas that need it when they need it - air heats up very quickly, so those areas not on most of the time can be warmed up quickly when needed. A bit of extra expense up front might net better savings over a long time. Also, floor vents are better than ceiling if that is possible in your place. http://www.yourhome.gov.au/energy/heating-and-cooling More importantly, however, make sure you have covered the most obvious issues: draft reduction, insulation top-up, double or supplementary glazing on windows, adding thermal mass, etc http://www.yourhome.gov.au/passive-design/sealing-your-home http://www.yourhome.gov.au/passive-design/insulation http://www.yourhome.gov.au/passive-design/glazing http://www.yourhome.gov.au/passive-design/thermal-mass I'm looking to install a new heating and cooling system in my home, which has 3 bedrooms, 1 master bedroom, 1 theater room, and 1 living room.
