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...
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...
Hello. I’m looking for some advice. We had a 1960’s bungalow in Cornwall with a wooden suspended floor. The old oil builder is 20 years old and so we want to replace it. We were looking at a Air Source Heat Pump with underfloor heating but the more we look at it the more concerned we are that it...
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.
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...
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...
anybody know much about the cylinders with integrated air source heat pumps
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
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...
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 everyone,
I am qualified to work on unvented cylinders but have no experience with solar panels. I have a customer which has a leaking unvented cylinder with solar coil attached.
am i legally allowed to replace the cylinder,is their regulations with solar?
if so, is it easy to drain the...
Had a email today that maybe of interest to some of you?? Kop
HI everyone,

www.jsenergi.co.uk/nibe which seem to do all other models except...
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...
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...
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...
Hi everyone, this is my first post. I've recently purchased a home where the prior owners have had some sub-standard work done in the past.
The pipework in the photos is the hot water feed from the solar panels down to the hot water tank. It looks like the copper pipe has been routed quite...
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...
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...
I had a solar thermal cylinder installed last week.
The installers had an issue with one of the valves and installed a 15mm pipe (see red arrow in picture) instead of the 22mm at the valve. Is this going to be an issue?
The 15mm then feeds into the larger 22mm. However, my concern is that...
