Advice, comments, experience etc 19Jun 19, 2018 10:14 pm alexp79 stubot So alexp79, can I ask. Did you end up getting hydronic heating in slab or other. Whats your opinion of how it operates. Any negativity in the decision. What sort of air temps would one expect etc and any other useful points. If you did go that way that is Also I asked an above a question on timing to ask builder. Whats your thought on that one. Thanks again Nope, I have decided to fully insulate my slab instead (under slab, edges, thermal breaks where needed), put "warm" timber to the ground floor throughout, apply some insulated thermal mass here and there and just use normal reverse cycle or gas fireplace to heat up the house (which, to my understanding, may be only needed for a few days in a year), considering calculated 12 hours temperature lag (due to presence of insulated thermal mass) coupled with 21-26 temperature range throughout annual temperature fluctuations. Still deciding if I would need some underfloor electrical heating in my bathrooms though. With regard to the timing - better sooner than later. Definitely BEFORE they quote you. Hi Alex, how are you insulating the edge of the slab? Re: Underfloor heating.

It’s cheap to run as it’s a small area and you’d only have it in short periods. But I also have central heating ceiling vents in the bathrooms so rarely bother with it. Reverse cycle heating / air con for upstairs is great idea......in summer upstairs is warm. Much cheaper to run than cooling all rooms upstairs. I’d do that next time 1 10213 I am building Enfield 201 by Mimosa Homes - York Facade Link: https://www.mimosahomes.com.au/new-homes/enfield-201/ I did my colour appointment last week.
