Helping to audit an electric-only house with ASHps -NIBE kit installed into the new house in 2012.
2 ASHPs outside -each F2015.
I put on some monitoring of their electrical usage -each takes 40W night and day 24/7. It's August so they are off 99% of the time: but when off, still use 40W...
Nibe ASHP alarm code 005 low pressure warning, anyone know the cause?
We are building a new 2 bed bungalow and looking at Heating / Hot water options. Although Gas is available we are keen to not have it connected but we will be having a large solar system installed as we have a long South facing roof.
Our house that we are moving from has Air con installed in...
Hi all.
Does anyone know of a small water heat system that I can attach directly to the back of my log burner, in my living room, that can conduct the heat (by contact) of the log burner and flow the hot water to a panel radiator in another room (e.g. conservatory)?
I only want a very simple...
I have a head height problem for the storage tank and needed a solution that would allow the monobloc to heat from the bottom of the tank
I have now sorted the issue with 2 tanks in series, both single coil
The smaller one has solar heating and this then provides cold, warm or hot water to the...
I'm an end user with limited knowledge of plumbing and just trying to get an understanding of options available to me. We currently have a Valiant Combi Boiler Sealed Unvented Heating system. It was installed 3 years ago and works perfectly well for both CH & HW. Recently we built an...
Hi, I'm looking for someone to help specify, and possible install hybrid system. Initially the bungalow was setup for all low temp (underfloor heating and Fan assist heating rads), but couldn't afford ASHP at the time, so fitted a Vaillant Ecotec Plus 937 Combi as the heat source. Now looking to...
Hi. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Bit general. We have solar boosting our hot water using iboost. My question, the current immersion element hasn’t been changed for 14 years. Should I upgrade/change it to increase efficiency? Current I haven’t seen any degradation in...
Hello all, I should start off by stating that I'm not in the industry - I'm just a DIYer with a "what-if" idea.
Hybrid systems and solar diverters are nothing new, but as far as I can see the current hybrid systems all require a change of boiler and I'm going to propose a system which could use...
I had solar thermal installed recently, the system is a viessmann and goes with our viessmann boiler. The controls are on the boiler, seems to work well.
I spoke to viessmann technical after the install and they and the install advised to change the water heating from the boiler to only come on...
I'm planning to get an air source heat pump (ASHP) installed and I'm considering my options about the location of the water cylinder as I live in a small house and space is a premium. I was thinking about building a small insulated shed about 20 to 25 metres away from the house to put the...
Good Afternoon All,
This is my first time on the renewables forum so please forgive my ignorance. I've been interested in ASHPs for about 15 years but have always doubted their economic viability - especially for retrofits. Now that there will be no gas connected to new builds in 4 years I am...
Hello All, newbie here.
I am building a new home on a spacious plot and considering a ground source heat pump instead of air source.
I understand trenches need to be 1.2m deep, 1m wide, and 5m apart.
But how level does the overall site have to be?
My site is on the side of a hill and the...
Had a email today that maybe of interest to some of you?? Kop
Can anyone recommend? .... training in heatpumps, books or web links on fault finding said heat pumps and a good place to get some experience- I'm looking to expand my knowledge.
I've done a taster course a few years back at colledge but that info has rusted in the back of my brain.
Hello,
I hope somebody may be able to help. I have a ecodan heat pump system and have no hot water. The controls are set correct but the light for the boiler is blue. Anyone know what I’m going wrong please?
Thank you!!
How can I top up the antifreeze in an ecodan air source heat pump installed 10 years ago?
