	RE: A Customer's Lessons Learnt from a Heat Pump Installation in a Large House By JamesPa, 3 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Based on owning a Vaillant and reading the manuals of others, I would say Vaillant are amongst the best controls. The fundamental feature they have, shared with only a few others, is that changing the...

	@tim441 it's a Vaillant, I think the controls are probably not the best, but also not the worst.

	@tim441 thanks for the advice. The weather compensation is all set and ready to go.

	@jamespa yes, I agree that there are a number of parallels with the reporting on EVs. I am an enthusiastic EV owner and get frustrated by all the negative PR. I use the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff...

	@scalextrix which make of heat pump. We have LG... which seems OK even though controls & data are not the finest... On WC we heat central heating mostly around 35-40deg in a range 30-45 But it al...
	RE: The Battery Battle By JamesPa, 3 weeks ago Forum Energy Storage
	The problem is bigger than rented properties, it applies to any property without off street parking adjacent to the house. It's not just a cost issue it's also a matter of convenience. If you can't...
	RE: The Battery Battle By downfield, 3 weeks ago Forum Energy Storage
	I agree that range anxiety goes away after a few months with an EV, and I am now OK with running the SoC down below 10% on longer trips. But it's not quite as simple as "take a break every few hours a...

	We got lucky and hit gold with our installer. Rather than size radiators to a design temp, we came at it from the opposite direction of lets measure the wall space and fit the largest radiator we can ...

	@tim441 thanks, and yes we are going WC for the central heating. Unfortunately our boiler control only allows us to set a single fixed temperature for heating and hot water. In winter we could heat t...

	The business of throwing away perfectly good tanks really annoys me. There is a perfectly good solution to a small coil even if you insist on max efficiency, namely to 'plate load' by fitting a plate...

	I hope you've opted for weather compensation controls from the start. Strongly recommended both for comfort and cost. Depending on tariff choices there may be other tweaks.. but focus on WC first... o...

	@temperature_gradient I had two installers willing to work with our existing hot water tank, which isn't designed for a Heat Pump, though it is already pressurised. I understand it won't be quite as ...
