How expensive to install central heating in an Amish-built house that has none?

I have my eye on a nice 6 bedroom house in Pennsylvania that was built in 2002 by Amish and has no central heating. Any HVAC cognescenti have an opinion on the cost (and wisdom) of retrofitting it with central heating? One of the central issues is that banks don’t like to give mortgages (apparently) on houses that have no central heating.

What color appliances will work in my kitchen?

In my kitchen I have oak cabinets and oak wood laminant flooring. I really want stainless steel appliances. Right now my counter tops are butcher block, but I don’t care what color they are, I just really like the looks of the stainless steel. My question is will the stainless steel work with the oak color and a basically western style decor? Also, what color countertops would you chose if this combination works?

Central Heating – how would you go about installing it in your home?

Hi. I am just about to make an offer on a house – but it does not have central heating! If my offer is accepted, I’m sure to install some sort of heating to it – radiators & underfloor heating for the bathroom. The house hasn’t been touched for many many years it seems, and I have a chance of really doing things anew, installing efficient up-to-date systems. . But I am completely baffled as to how go about this. Should I choose oil/ gas/ electricity… for example? How much does everything cost to do up?? (it’s a semi-detatched 3 bed house by the way, if this info helps) And who / which establishment should I ask to do it for me??? I hear british gas is expensive… . Any suggestions, comments appreciated. Thanks.
