Re: More on Solar

I'm not entirely sure what your point is. I'm totally happy with the system I have, have no intention of changing it and really don't have any issue with the way Portugal does things.

Re: More on Solar

I had a survey done for solar water. Because of the pitch and direction of my roof, I'd have needed panels on both aspects. The pipework would need to have run the length of the house so the guy said...

Re: One year in East Algarve - help!

Excellent choice of location. It's been over 18 months for me and it just gets better, I can't imagine being anywhere else.

Re: Healthcare & Contributions

Hi there,
I registered with my local health centre a month or two ago with no difficulty. Because I haven't yet reached the age to claim my UK state pension, I didn't need an S1 form but simply took...

Pellet Burners

I'm about to replace my log burner with a pellet burner. Does anyone have any tips about what features are most useful? I've seen a couple that will operate on silent mode, some that are steel, some...

Re: Lending my car

I don't think it's an issue with the drivers licence, but an issue with the owner of the vehicle. Hence some people insisting that you get around this by having a document in the car saying that the...

Re: Lending my car

Thanks for the reply. My insurers say that I am indeed covered for any driver within their specified parameters but that the legality of allowing another driver to use it rests with GNR. I've emailed...

Re: A couple of quick health care questions

I've posted previously about my right to health care as friends have recently been refused the right to register at our local health centre in the Algarve. I was concerned I'd have to rely on private...

Re: Infra red heating

This is something I'm going to look into shortly. What is the norm for methods of insulation here? With no hatch into the shallow roof space I have no clue what could be done there. Looking at the...

Re: Infra red heating

Thanks for this. I'd actually heard of these before I moved here but had completely forgotten about them. Great because I believe they're made in Portugal so no problems getting hold of them.

Re: Infra red heating

I'm trying to avoid having aircon installed because of the expense, both of installation and running costs. They're also another way of heating the air rather than the fabric of the building.

My place is a modern townhouse - about 12 years old. Apart from double glazing I have no idea if the insulation is up to scratch. There's no access to the roof space to check up there. I have...
