A ground source heat pump might be worthwhile as near as possible to the District Heating scheme pipework - they couldn't charge him for that (could they). It would be like mega-efficient.

thanks for the reply .heat pump not a runner here.had explained to him about such.the air to water heatpumps are alot less hassle than ground sourse and more efficient .didn t really understand what u were on about with the charging thing.anyway , he is installing a solid fuel stove and a kerosene boiler.underfloor heating and pressurised system.thanks
