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

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