Has anyone had a good look through this Strategy to lower Carbon emissions by 2050?
Introduction from the govt website
The heat and buildings strategy sets out the government’s plan to significantly cut carbon emissions from the UK’s 30 million homes and workplaces in a simple, low-cost and...
Hi
Has anyone got any experience of these. I especially need to know how noisy they are from practical experience, not from Db figures which I don't understand. Also how reliable?
It will most likely be an 8KW model to run just the UFH only which is set at around 35 C.
They are cheap, maybe too...
I'm getting so sick of the media and tories plugging ashp's like they are the solution to all our heating needs.
Latest news today, £5k grant towards the cost of replacing a gas boiler with an ashp. What a joke.
Every ashp system I've worked on and installed runs the heating at 40 degrees...
Hello all, I'm searching for advice on my new system being fitted into a very old stone house in France.
We have purchased a thermflow 300L thermal store with a built-in expansion tank to work with multiple heating inputs (solar, electric and wood burning stove boiler). We are running 7 rads...
I have had a Nibe ASHP installed, F2040 and VVM320 indoor module. The manual for setting it up goes through how to do each step, but gives no overview.
There are three different ways of setting internal temperature; by setting an internal level (or an internal temperature of a thermostat is...
Currently got a problem with the Daikin unit. It has both Solar and Air Source heatpump integrated and shows no fault codes. The hot water is heating fine and the unit shows its heating the radiators but they don't become hot. Not sure what to look at. This unit was imported from Belgium so...
anybody know much about the cylinders with integrated air source heat pumps
Interested on thoughts on this (I've also posted on another forum but thought this might be a better place to ask);
Long time lurker, have gleamed some great knowledge from this site, finally signed up as I cant find an exact answer to the below. I'm not a heating engineer, but an electrical...
Hi guy
I had solar thermal installed and wanted an expert opinion, had it installed today and its not working and the installer is to return. I get the impression when it comes to the electrical side the installer hasn’t the foggiest, he replaced the water valve and now my boiler does not heat...
Hey all, need to find a replacement control unit for my air/water heat pump. Does anyone have have any links that I can try? Thanks for any help
With all this talk about potentially switching from gas to hydrogen or even blending some hydrogen into the gas, does anyone know how this affects the dew point of the products of combustion? With natural gas I think it starts to condense around 57C or so, so the return temperature needs to be...
Hello
I had a solar thermal installation. However, the Gledhill Stainless Steel Lite keepings making popping noises. Anyway, I was looking to have it replaced with another cylinder and found this one: Gledhill SunSpeed 2 Open Vented Indirect Twin Coil Solar Cylinder | Vented Cylinder -...
I’ve had a Viessmann ASHP fitted. Fan noise outside is v low- we do not notice it. Inside though, the joules cyclone unvented cylinder seems to be making a constant whine. At first I thought it was the Vitocal 200 boiler beside it but I am pretty sure it is the tank? It is all new ( April) and...
I’d like some advice and opinions please.
I have a 150 year old stone cottage ( 2 foot thick solid stone walls) some roof insulation and double glazed windows in a very cold exposed hill top position in the north western Yorkshire Dales.
we are planning to put underfloor heating downstairs and...
Moved into a new property around 4 years ago with full 15Kw Vaillant Arotherm ASHP setup, after quite a few initial teething problems seems to run well over last couple of years.
Long term just wondering if anyone can advise on servicing (in Berkshire area). Are there any independent specialist...
Hello, I hope someone can give me some advice on replacing an old air source heat pump.
We moved into a shared ownership house last year which has a Daiken air source heat pump fitted to provide heating and hot water. The unit was fitted when the house was built 12 years ago. It seems that the...
Hello,
We were due to have an air source heat pump installed on a grant scheme on Monday, with radiator size upgrade, but retrofitting using the existing pipework.
The calculations have been done to show it's viable etc...
However their engineer has just (!!) looked at the photos taken by the...
How can I top up the antifreeze in an ecodan air source heat pump installed 10 years ago?
Evening all, I have a customer that is looking to upgrade their current system. Typically I gave them a wealth of installation options last time but they didn’t think they’d change too much.
5 years down the line now they find themselves with an old old boiler that is in need of upgrade and a...
