Change of central heating from gas/diesel....

Post by cyprusmax47 »

As the situation in Ukraine is getting worse, it perhaps makes sense to think about changing your central heating away from gas/diesel towards electric this summer. We never know if the next winter is as cold and long as the last one and then it is necessary to heat your house properly. We also don't know how the supply for gas/diesel to Cyprus will be in the near future, beside much higher costs for it...

The answer would be to order now a so called air-to-water heat pump system and supply your hot water demand for central heating with it. Prices are steadily rising at the moment and perhaps there will be a shortage of the components later in summer, like it is already in Germany.

The system works like an air-con with compressor outside your house and runs like modern airconditioning very economic, as it uses the outdoor temperature, which in Cyprus is relative high in winter. It will bypass your gas/diesel burner and supply direct the existing radiators.

All you need is electricity which you could produce yourself with photo voltaic modules, if you have it already. In this case you help also the environment and your pocket book.

If you contact Green Air Paphos, 26 941 555 , you can arrange an appointment and speak to Mr. Christos (owner) 99 83 83 64 about costs and more...

All that you say is very true Max. We don't know the availability or cost of Gas or Heating fuel next Winter. What we can guess at is that it will be more expensive than last winter's fuel.

What you say about the system that Green Air provide is of course true. For people to find out the cost of it they will need to go into it in more detail.

But I think I am right in saying that you have a connection with the 'Green Air' company, and I think this should be mentioned..

I agree, whether or not it is financial does not matter. Nevertheless, it does come through to the ordinary person as if there were a vested interest.

but maybe he could of mentioned that he has ties with the company.

In fairness to Max, this was mentioned some time ago, and we are all the same people we were then when the subject last came up. I don't think he should keep having to mention it.
