Can I ask about heating for an extension to be built? I live in a modern house with GCH. We're extending which I guess will increase the floor area of the house by 25-30%. We've been chatting to someone who's done similar about the heating. He has used modern storage heaters (Dimplex Duoheat) in his extension. He feels these are fantastic but the main reason he did this was that he was worried about extending his microbore central heating system. He had heard that if you extend a microbore piped GCH system too much, you can develop problems with balancing the system etc. I like the look of these new storage heaters - but before I take the plunge, any opinions on this as an option rather than extending the GCH system? TIA, Paul
