	RE: Seeking Help for In-Principle Quote to fix a botched heat pump installation by Heat Geek Installer By JamesPa, 3 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	I think the first comment is a little unfair. The thermodynamics mean that heat pump output inevitably varies with OAT and FT. The only way to circumvent this is artificially restrict the output in ...
	RE: Seeking Help for In-Principle Quote to fix a botched heat pump installation by Heat Geek Installer By benson, 3 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@cathoderay I think this was a different point unless I've misunderstood. DREI was asking about the actual power input to the unit itself and whether this meant, for example, a 12kW unit actually cons...
	RE: Seeking Help for In-Principle Quote to fix a botched heat pump installation by Heat Geek Installer By cathodeRay, 3 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	This is all part of the smoke and mirrors around heat pump marketing. My unit is badged as a 14kW unit, but the maximum it has ever put out is 11.52kW. The problem is that while it may be able to put ...
	RE: Seeking Help for In-Principle Quote to fix a botched heat pump installation by Heat Geek Installer By cathodeRay, 3 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	In effect you are relying on the manufacturer marking their own homework. Is there any way you can validate these readings? For example, I have an independent kWh meter that supplies only the heat pum...
	RE: Seeking Help for In-Principle Quote to fix a botched heat pump installation by Heat Geek Installer By benson, 3 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	No. 12kW is obviously the maximum heating capacity (at certain conditions, dependent on manufacturer) but the actual maximum consumption will be much lower than that. I think our 12kW max power input ...
	RE: Repiping and Reconfiguring our Heat Pump System Including Removing the Buffer Tank - Heat Pump Retrofix By Transparent, 3 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Thank you. That simultaneously answers my question about the bore and level of pipe insulation for the underground section. Now we know one of the causes of global warming! 🤨
	RE: Seeking Help for In-Principle Quote to fix a botched heat pump installation by Heat Geek Installer By DREI, 4 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	I am using Home Assistant's utility meters, so they add up the relevant data based on live readings, to make up the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly data. These will eventually get better, as right n...
	RE: Heating Turned Off but Radiators Still Warm By JamesPa, 4 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	What do you mean by 'turned off' exactly. Same question to @pipcart. Unless you cut the power completely: Most if not all heat pumps (and so far as I know boilers) will come on at about 5C to preven...
	RE: Low Flow Rate Error - 8 kW Ideal Logic ASHP - Help! By cathodeRay, 4 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@wh0am3ye - OK, starting to make sense, but it does mean you have a buffer which as you will know from this forum is usually, though not always, not ideal, despite the brand name. But you are where yo...
	RE: What crazy nonsense are inverter limits and why are they imposed? By Transparent, 4 weeks ago Forum Energy Storage
	My apologies @batpred I overlooked that you'd already I identified your DNO as being UKPN. So you are more likely to be in an area where 5kW export could be permitted. Even so, the ENA guidelines do n...
	RE: Low Flow Rate Error - 8 kW Ideal Logic ASHP - Help! By Wh0am3ye, 4 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@cathoderay Ahh yes, the large white tank is an Ideal Logic Pre-Plumbed cylinder, so theres a 180l hot water tank at the top and the heating pipes run through the bottom which is why the CH1 pump is t...
