RE: Experience - New Build / Complete New Heating System  

By Bash, 17 minutes ago

  @vincro We have a similar sized 1950's semi with a 2005 extension, lots of glass and an open fireplace. Our heat loss was calculated at 6.2kw and testing this before our HP install later this month b...
RE: Heat loss based on gas usage  

By Bash, 22 minutes ago

  @jamespa Thanks. The numbers posted above were just for the coldest day over the last few weeks. Looking through the bright app it's similar across many days over the last few weeks suggesting it's n...

  @jamespa I would wholeheartedly agree with you. In all the videos of @editor, I never recalled anyone talking about such HUGE pumps. Certainly a rarity rather than the norm. It was one of a few red ...
RE: Heat loss based on gas usage

  In a word yes.   Measurements based on a single day should be treated with extreme caution, houses take a long time to react. However as a general indication this is likely to be good.   L...

  Newbuild 200sq m house, 16kW? Somebody is having a laugh at your considerable expense. Either the construction standard is appalling or the loss is way out. My 1930s 200sq m house with partial iwi o...
RE: Heat pump not reaching flow temperature  

By JamesPa, 57 minutes ago

  I would describe this as either a fault or a configuration error. If the ft isn't changing with oat then wc isn't working, your heat pump won't be efficient, and you won't be comfortable. The instal...

  Thanks for the update, @judith. Cold spells with heat pumps can be brutal, especially with the price of electricity, but thankfully those extremes tend to be short-lived in the UK. I remember a spell ...
Heat loss based on gas usage  

By Bash, 1 hour ago

  We are 2 weeks away from our HP install. In October I dropped the flow rate down on our Vaillant gas boiler to 45c, to match our HP design temperature. We are upgrading all the radiators as some are w...

  Welcome to the forums @vincro and good luck with finalising your proposals and quotes. Also look forward to your updates. One thing I've started recommending to all homeowners is to get an estimate fr...
I’m glad the cold spell is over!  

By Judith, 1 hour ago

Forum Your Home
  Just a sigh of relief that the cold spell is over and the COP has gone up from 3.0 to 3.9. On our worst day on the 5/6Jan the ASHP used 65kWh of electricity producing 177kWh of heat. (DHW in addition)...
RE: Heat pump not reaching flow temperature  

By DaveC, 1 hour ago

  @jamespa the compressor does run at max operating frequency in these lower temperatures (2 degrees and below) and doesn’t seem to have any opportunity to reduce to try and achieve a better running eff...
RE: Post-Traumatic Heat Pump Stress Disorder  

By JamesPa, 2 hours ago

  @johnbroome As I say I think you probably have a fault which needs fixing. However there may also be an opportunity to tweak how it's run. The understanding of the best way to run heat pumps has pr...
