Gas central heating Vs warm air

monaymadlol

Hi

In process of looking at properties to buy.

Some, apartments and houses have old warm air systems. Some have pipelines so can be converted to gas central heating.

I have some q about this

- are there any cost savings for retaining warm air Vs gas central heating? 

- mixed information found: Is one 'better' for asthma and allergy sufferers? know dirty central heating radiator can still blow around dust if not cleaned.

- how much would it cost to upgrade a 2 bed apartment/house, and timescale, warm air to gas central heating? I've read £5k which includes boiler, radiators, wall skimming etc

- is it worth upgrading to the latest warm air heaters rather than older ones often found, for cleanliness/efficiency and what would replacement cost to newer ones?

Plan would be to stay in the property for approx 3 years maybe. But timescale not set in stone.

Thanks

You mean Electric warm air systems? Gas is 3x cheaper.

If it's gas warm air, the running costs are the same as for gas wet CH.
I'm guessing that for £5K or less, switching to gas wet CH would get your investment back on resale.
No one in the UK would pick warm air from choice.

Ok so I didn't know there's gas warm air and electric warm air??

How are respiratory & allergy sufferers faring between warm air and central heating?
