RE: Electricity price predictions

Good argument. I have long been of the view that some of the policy costs should be shifted away from electricity and onto gas under the polluter pays principle, otherwise it's very difficult to incen... | ||

I should clarify that the FoxESS web interface is not local (you are not logging into a web interface on the hardware itself). It is still cloud based so not talking to the equipment directly. The equ... | ||

RE: A Customer's Lessons Learnt from a Heat Pump Installation in a Large House

Previous was vented and I needed a shower pump and a very loud bath pump to get reasonable flow rates. All gone. All cold outlets in the house now potable. Better heat retention. | ||

I disagree. You don't even require G99 consent from your DNO if your inverters can't export to the grid! I have a plant room where I breed off-grid inverters.Their 240v output is not synchronised to g... | ||

Actually there would be a good logical case for this. Currently the policy costs (which are entirely loaded on electricity). fall on everyone whether or not they have a heat pump, ev or solar. There... | ||

@diverted-energy I think your “subsidied tariff” statement is incorrect. The range of tariffs offered by, for example Octopus, are there to balance the varying rate of electricity thru the day/night. ... | ||

Everyone's scenario is different according to setup, usage... and ability to get the best from time of use tariffs. For example in our case with an EV and solar + batteries we can get imports to avera... | ||

Why hide it with dedicated tariffs for Heat Pumps to make running 'look cheaper'. Subsidised installation AND running costs isn't sustainable. Sobering thought.. Were only 7p per kwh from Crisis '22 p... | ||

I’ve been digging into the numbers from our own house to illustrate just how broken UK energy pricing is when it comes to heat pumps. Using our electricity consumption for heating between 18 Sept and ... | ||

@editor there is a real political peril changing where the levies fall. If they were shifted to gas the majority of the population would end up paying more. This would be an absolute gift to those w... | ||

As I've said many times.. Where Electricity prices are still 4.2x the price of Gas - there is no justification to pay £1000's more on installing a Heat Pump. I speak to many interested in Heat Pumps w... |
