	RE: Is a Valliant Inline 6kW heater a BUS buster? By GuydeB, 6 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@jamespa thanks. For a fossil fuel comparison we spent approx £2,500 (av. 71p per litre) - £2,800 (av. 85p per litre) per year on oil (2023 and 2022 figures). We both work from home....
	RE: Is a Valliant Inline 6kW heater a BUS buster? By JamesPa, 6 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@guydeb It is going to be high loss. I have heard that the commonly assumed U values for stone walls is way to high, and the air changes is also often too high, so it still might be less than you th...
	RE: Is a Valliant Inline 6kW heater a BUS buster? By GuydeB, 7 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Wow @jamespa thanks so much for this - I am lucky enough (in our very hot summers!) to live in Somerset in an 1840s vicarage made of blue lias stone (external walls c. 450-500mm). It's approx 300m2, w...
	RE: Is a Valliant Inline 6kW heater a BUS buster? By JamesPa, 7 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	This has come up before; a close neighbour of mine did something similar and claimed the BUS grant, but of course that doesn't mean it is OK. I would say this is debatable, which means that until the ...
	Is a Valliant Inline 6kW heater a BUS buster? By GuydeB, 7 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Like many newbies desperately trying to ASHP an old house from oil fired, I have been down many rabbit holes - in brief, three phase not possible (£44K quote from National Grid), 18kW heat loss (Good ...
	RE: Daikin - octopus -cooling By TechnoGeek, 1 week ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@pie_eater I have been thinking of adding cooling to my system over the last 12 months+. I am not too keen on the condensation issue as I have had to fix a lot of condensation issues in the house in t...
	RE: BUS Grant: removal of all other fossil fuel heat sources By Rikiarn, 1 week ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Hi all, thanks for your help. The installer has confirmed that we don’t need to remove the gas fireplace to get the grant so happy with the resolution. Still think is not entirely clear from the legis...
	RE: Daikin - octopus -cooling By downfield, 1 week ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@pie_eater Try asking the Perplexity AI engine how to turn on cooling on your specific model. It's available through your web browser or as a free iOS app. Or just ask Daikin. We changed three rads ...
	RE: No-code, plug-and-play monitoring for your heat pump By benson, 1 week ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Just in case anyone is looking at Planet Atmo- we've made enquiries and they are installer-centric i.e. they will only supply their devices to installers for them to install it for you. Not direct to ...
	RE: Victorian Semi Retrofit / Extension ASHP and UFH Advice By JamesPa, 1 week ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Agree, but you may have a hard time convincing them, as an overestimated survey is their ultimate protection. If you can get their calculations (and if you paid for the surveys you should) then it wo...
	RE: Daikin - octopus -cooling By Pie_Eater, 1 week ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	I’m sort of keen to try it , seems like a good solution provided condensation is kept under control. no idea how to change the daikin for it to cool though. Found some very limited info that you may h...
	RE: Victorian Semi Retrofit / Extension ASHP and UFH Advice By Matthew_W, 1 week ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@jamespa Heat Geeks did a full survey (although as the survey is of the house before the extension, it's a bit hard to see how it properly accounts for the work to be done: I was a bit disappointed t...
