	RE: Setback savings - fact or fiction? By Adrian, 45 minutes ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Good old physics tells us that it is impossible to not have to put extra energy in to get the temperature up without putting extra energy in. I havent seen anything in your numbers to indicate that th...
	RE: Poll for Time of Use, tariffs, technology By Papahuhu, 1 hour ago Forum Electricity, Tariffs, Monitoring & Providers
	@jamespa Hope it works out for you, revisit it in 6 months and you may find prices are down or maybe sodium chemistry is mainstream. Lithium extraction and processing is dirty and polluting, folks th...
	RE: Free Ecoheat Heat Pump Install By Mars, 1 hour ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Welcome to the forums @deltona. What a shocker! I’m going to be very blunt here, because this is exactly the kind of practice that leads to poor performance, angry homeowners and heat pumps getting r...
	Free Ecoheat Heat Pump Install By Deltona, 2 hours ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Sorry, long story: There is a company advertising on FB doing free installs, basically they use the £7.5k BUS to pay and you don't need to add any. I can see that if you're talented, have done enoug...
	RE: Setback savings - fact or fiction? By RobS, 2 hours ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	I'm not James but here's some thoughts... Have you tried to control for solar gain? And what about controlling for wind chill effects (speed and direction of the wind) and for humidity (greater pro...
	RE: Poll for Time of Use, tariffs, technology By JamesPa, 2 hours ago Forum Electricity, Tariffs, Monitoring & Providers

	RE: MELcloud scheduling misbehaviour By downfield, 3 hours ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@davidalgarve I didn't stay on AA for long because it seemed to do a worse job of getting the house to the desired temperature. However I have reconfigured my buffer into a volumiser recently (like y...
	RE: MELcloud scheduling misbehaviour By DavidAlgarve, 5 hours ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@downfield I wonder if it is the MELCloud app that is the problem? It is not the greatest bit of software. I was using weather compensation all last year with the operating times set on the FTC 6 rath...
	RE: Poll for Time of Use, tariffs, technology By Papahuhu, 5 hours ago Forum Electricity, Tariffs, Monitoring & Providers
	@jamespa If you have no nett export then don’t do IOF as it is, by definition, impossible to profit. You need profit to cover the cost of the additional investment for fancy batteries. I’d suggest in...
	RE: A Smarter Smart Controller from Homely? By JohnnyB, 5 hours ago Forum Thermostats, Volumisers, Buffer Tanks, TRVs, Pumps, Piping, Valves, Radiators & Controls
	I've been thinking of emailing Homely to ask for a few things, if they are beta testing a new system maybe now would be a good time. Generally I find it works well and have bought a second one for the...
	RE: Poll for Time of Use, tariffs, technology By Papahuhu, 5 hours ago Forum Electricity, Tariffs, Monitoring & Providers
	@toodles But that’s the deal with the devil, they are paying a premium to use your battery to balance the grid/makes some profit too. I estimate the balance of advantage is 95 in your favour. But, it...
