You have to start at the beginning, is there not some work that you could do by yourself?
+1 for inventory of "The general condition in detail" before starting the work.

IT'S ALL THERE AND YOU HAVE TO START THERE ... we are still waiting for the "general condition", it would not be bad to illustrate it.
There I really feel that we are putting the plow before the horse!

If it is a question of changing for another type of heating, why
to take off convectors, as soon as they are already installed and it works? Don't understand ... It's a bit irrational.

Uh, but the "rails" are not made of wood ... so cold bridge if they are mixed with the insulation and worse if they are not airtight (air passing through the screws, the interstices of the slides ( = reduced insulation to zero) and so on and the best ....)
In principle, in an insulation, no air flow should pass.
If there are already double glazing, you must see the condition of the carpentry in the
rabbet ...>, for that you should not confuse the two types:
... and specify in what materials they are. If there is air flowing through it? If they can be dismantled, in which case they can be loosened and put a blow of the "external silicone" gasket with a cartridge gun (all the circumference and
in one piece!).
Are there any joints between the double glazed windows (ie door / s) and the framing posts? What kind (hollow body, rubber strip) are they absolutely continuous all around and in one piece, or is there air passing in certain places? In the corners? Do they form a good "body" with the carpentry once the doors and windows are closed?
And for all the works and investments: what total budget is there?

I was very surprised with this free dignostic.
finally I gave him my approximate budget, and he advised me to target priorities taking into account the return on investment and the comfort provided.
carpentry:
he advised me to change that certain menuisseries or the wood has worked a little and is no longer waterproof (French doors and entry door which is veiled).
Since the windows are already double glazed the change of this one will not bring a significant comfort compared to the investment. [?]
He advises me toisolate my stolen boxes
attic:
already insulated attic with 3 * 5cm, it advises me to fill where there are holes and rather invest in a wood stove where the economy will be more substantial and offset insulation of the attic in a few years.
heater :
provide a stove and possibly a battery heater
he felt good some kind of draft in the entrance, according to him, seeing that the cage of the hutch overlooks the entrance it could be a warm air call from the first.

Ouch: as usual in this kind of thread, we see after a few pages that the problem goes in all directions. If it is absolutely correct that
'we must "target the priorities", you must start by IMPERATIVELY AND URGENTLY following Dedelco's advice:
either to make a "general state", and
list of points to review ... and we'll talk about it again.
Why not publish a complete collection of photos of the details, then overall views (roof / attic insulation, facade, facade-roof joint, possible basement / cellar, door + window boxes, door condition + window, state of the rebates, heating configuration ... possible cold bridges and inventory of any "airways"). Do you need an outside expert to do this?
And specify in what and how the floors are made, are there false ceilings, etc ...
Because here we really find it difficult to give any opinion
carefully detailed ...
