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...
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...
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
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...
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
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...
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...
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...

I realise not many have a sub to Telegraph (neither do I) but this is the article in full. As for the statement by BG, I haven't corroborated it but it seems an odd...
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...
anybody know much about the cylinders with integrated air source heat pumps

In my new high efficiency house, I will have UFH with an Air to Water (A2W). Heat pump Monobloc, but for extra cooling on hot days I think extra air cooling with FCUs is needed:
Should I use a secondary Air (to coolant) to Air system, or stick with just the Air to Water system to also drive my...
Hello all,
I hope you can help, I don't know any plumbers and just wondered about an idea of mine, it might not be do able for good reason!
I built a 6 x 3m outbuilding a few months ago for myself in the garden, me and wife wanted an office to work in when needed, mainly her (labourer). This...
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'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...
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...
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,
So I want to add a solar thermal system to my existing Worcester bosch greenstar but don't want to lose the functional benefits of the combi boiler.
I'm proposing to install the solar collector on the side of the house in a position that will enable gravity flow to a 200litre tank just...
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...
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...
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...
