In this region, a couple of vacuum-tube panels will give you all the domestic hot water you could use from late March to the end of October in this region. In Winter, it will give good hot water on a mildly sunny day... and the same amount as you would expect in Spring and Autumn on a clear, crisp sunny Winter's day. A good DIY kit is around £2000 and you can mount the collector on a shed roof if it is next to the house. And don't worry about getting a kit in the UK... plumbing fittings are the same until you get to the outflow of the tank, and those fittings are UK too, so the adapters are on the brico shelves. [Done the research as this'll be the final project if there's enough cash left... re-roof and conversion of the longere comes first!]Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595983014626235642.post-5250822765112385572012-01-30T09:35:49.007+01:002012-01-30T09:35:49.007+01:00How usefu to be able to see products and talk to s...How usefu to be able to see products and talk to some one who actually knows about them.<br /><br />In our part of France it just about drives me crazy when I'm told that the shop does indeed stock what I need, but then shows me a picture in a catalogue...I always feel like showing them a picture of some money when it comes to paying.<br /><br />SPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595983014626235642.post-91326978164557047892012-01-29T22:18:27.518+01:002012-01-29T22:18:27.518+01:00Beautiful shot of Chinon.
