	RE: Who's your electricity provider and what's your tariff? By Old_Scientist, 4 weeks ago Forum Electricity, Tariffs, Monitoring & Providers
	@toodles I agree. I was on Agile from the beginning of April but switched back to Cosy a while back as the pricing on Agile was not great, as you say. I still monitor the prices daily, and Cosy is def...
	RE: Wood burner with ASHP - direct air? By Lucia, 4 weeks ago Forum Wood Burners, Biomass, Small Scale, Biofuels & Other Heating Alternatives
	This depends on the size of your wood burner and size/type of house. If your house is a tad leaky, stoves labelled 5kw and below don't need direct air to satisfy HETAS regs. 5kw is a bit of a moveable...

	RE: Is your heat pump insured? By Mars, 4 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@eliuccio this is the ambiguity that is really getting my under skin when it comes to heat pumps. A central heating system is a central heating system. Our previous policy had us "heating system" and ...
	RE: Who's your electricity provider and what's your tariff? By Old_Scientist, 4 weeks ago Forum Electricity, Tariffs, Monitoring & Providers
	@sunandair therein lies the issue - no one can say with any certainty what energy markets will look like in 12 months time, let alone over the payback period of any investment. For now, solar is relat...

	@chandykris in winter modelling predicts generation of 200-230kWh for Dec/Jan, and our usage is 700-900kWh, so maybe a quarter of our usage at best. Contrast in summer where we can generate upto 4 ti...
