• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Under floor heating.

I am thinking of using under floor heating in a new extension.
Currently it will be run by a gas boiler.
To future proof it against the gas being replaced by a Air source heat pump, what should I specify differently to a gas boiler installation.
I don't want to dig the floor up, just to change a an old spec pipe!
Thanks

They both operate at approximately the same temperature, so there is no need to change anything, so long as you have decent pipes. The pipes in a gas or oil boiler-fueled situation need to have an oxygen barrier built in (to protect the boiler), and I'm fairly sure that this isn't necessary for a heat pump. Therefore, if it's good enough for gas or oil, it's good enough for a heat pump.
