	RE: What is the Heat Geek Guarantee? By Mars, 3 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@colinc, that’s a very fair and well-balanced comment, and I think you’ve actually hit on one of the key pain points that a lot of homeowners have faced over the past few months, namely, clarity aroun...
	RE: What is the Heat Geek Guarantee? By colinc, 3 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@editor , perhaps I could be accused of playing "devil's advocate" here; or more likely I have not understood the issue. I'm left wondering why homeowners are sourcing Heat Geek installers via the Hea...
	RE: Homely Smart Controller By Papahuhu, 3 weeks ago Forum Thermostats, Volumisers, Buffer Tanks, TRVs, Pumps, Piping, Valves, Radiators & Controls
	@toodles Thanks. I will assume they have made some sort of change and bite the bullet then, I will do exactly what they say and then give it a couple of weeks to settle itself down. If it doesn’t wo...
	RE: Heat loss calculations and how they work in conjunction with heat pump sizing By Batpred, 3 weeks ago Forum Safety, Regulations, Tools, Plumbing & DIY Installations
	I am just discussing some concepts, I am learning in some domains and will not become defensive for it. On this, we could even agree, of course it can be implemented. But I am yet to see anyo...
	RE: Are We Sleepwalking Into Another Race to the Bottom? By JamesPa, 3 weeks ago Forum Government Schemes, Regulations, Planning & Organisations
	That sounds suspiciously like an argument by an installer who just wants to replace cylinders at any cost to the customer, hasn't got a technical argument for what he wants to do, and will happily ign...
	RE: Are We Sleepwalking Into Another Race to the Bottom? By Temperature_Gradient, 3 weeks ago Forum Government Schemes, Regulations, Planning & Organisations
	Yes the heat pump cylinders use coils with high surface areas, but that isn't the problem, the difficulty comes from the MCS standard sizing formula requiring much larger cylinders which then makes fi...
	RE: Are We Sleepwalking Into Another Race to the Bottom? By Mars, 3 weeks ago Forum Government Schemes, Regulations, Planning & Organisations
	That's a timely reminder on this note... one of the installers I spoke with this weekend suggested (though it's unverified on my end) that for a heat pump installation in the UK, the existing hot wate...
	RE: Are We Sleepwalking Into Another Race to the Bottom? By Mars, 3 weeks ago Forum Government Schemes, Regulations, Planning & Organisations
	@jamespa, that’s a very fair summary and I completely agree that it’s important to recognise positives where they exist. I’m not against innovation or even the idea of simplifying installs. Anything t...
	RE: Say hello and introduce yourself By Transparent, 3 weeks ago Forum Introductions, Forum Rules & Updates
	I've seen photos of other people placing the tank in a highly-insulated 'shed' outside the house.The shed was sited so that the pipework could enter straight into the house in a 'useful' position. You...
	RE: Say hello and introduce yourself By Batpred, 3 weeks ago Forum Introductions, Forum Rules & Updates
	I suppose as the heat pump transfers heat from the outside in, it gets more heat per energy unit whenever it is warmer outside so unfortunately some of the boiler flexibility goes with it For us, the...
	RE: Are We Sleepwalking Into Another Race to the Bottom? By Temperature_Gradient, 3 weeks ago Forum Government Schemes, Regulations, Planning & Organisations
	I think the current requirements and installer approach to hot water cylinders creates a lot of unnecessary and avoidable disruption, and cost for homes with existing cylinders. The standard MCS sizin...
