> Subject: Regarding heating systems,
> Dear Solar Info
> I am about to have a house built
> Doing my best to inform myself but it is all a minefield out there, especially on a very tight budget.
> What I hope to do is go with in-floor heating with an electric boiler Time on Demand set up.
> Due to my budget I doubt that I can go with a solar add on this year however I hope to do so as soon as money will allow.
> The questions are .
> 1) Is it possible to have a hybrid system ,ie, solar combined with an electric system for heating?
> 2) Is it possible to do this in stages, electric now with the goal to add the solar system / panels later as an auxiliary
> 3)If so how do I inform the individual doing the boiler instillation to do the boiler instillation with solar in mind
> 4) Is there someone I can direct the heating specialist to for advice?
> Thank you
