Whether you are working on plans for a new eco-home, carrying out a major renovation, or simply looking to fit a new stove to an existing heating system, proper preparation is what saves time and money in the long run.
Measure twice, install once
A good start to any heating project is to take measurements. You will need them to calculate how much heat you have to generate for you and your family — or your co-workers — to be comfortable on a cold day.
The amount of heat you need depends on three main factors: the size of your rooms, how well the building is insulated, and where it is.
As the saying goes, measure twice, install once. You really do not want to go to the effort and expense of buying a system that cannot produce enough heat to keep you warm on a winter's day.
Planning help
At Gondwana Green Heat we are passionate about heating — heating that is not just comfortable and efficient but sustainable and beautiful. We want everyone to feel the joy of a real fire and to live and work in comfort without hurting the planet.
That is why we offer a domestic and international heating consultancy service, to help homeowners and industry professionals with the crucial planning and design stage. We also advise on possibilities, and troubleshoot sustainable heating projects that have run into difficulty.
We have many years of experience of sustainable heating projects, large and small, with an emphasis on wood and solar systems — how to get the best from each, and how to integrate them. As a family business based in Scotland we cannot always be on hand to install your system, but a little expert help at the planning stage goes a long way towards a project's success.
