	RE: Starting Our Heat Pump Journey: 1962 build 3 bed detached house By AndrewJ, 6 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@ian-s that would point to a 5kW heat pump being sufficient assuming you want the same temperatures across the house. These ought to be considered 15 year lifetime devices and the only thing I would ...
	RE: Starting Our Heat Pump Journey: 1962 build 3 bed detached house By Ian S, 6 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@jamespa many thanks for your thoughts, my gas usage for last year was 9309 kWh, 2024 was 9655 kWh, 2023 was 9011 kWh. Most of this would of been heating as we use air fryers and slow cookers a fair a...
	RE: Starting Our Heat Pump Journey: 1962 build 3 bed detached house By JamesPa, 6 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	49 is quite high, I would prefer 45, but if they are guaranteeing scop it doesn't really matter, and anyway it will in practice be what it will be, dependent only on your radiators and actual, as oppo...
	RE: Starting Our Heat Pump Journey: 1962 build 3 bed detached house By Ian S, 6 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Hi all Many thanks for your input, it is very appreciated. Heat Geek have been round and worked out our heat loss as 6.5kW which tied in with Aria, what I found interesting is the recommended heat pum...
	RE: Heat Pump Books For Beginners: The Ultimate Guide to Heat Pumps, Bodge Buster, From Zero To Heat Pump Hero & Britain's Heat Pump Shitshow By JamesPa, 6 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	All of the things you say the industry could do are fair, but it won't unless there is either government or commercial pressure. I can't see a commercial pressure to change at present, if anything th...

	@jamespa there's no need to delete this. You’re discussing the political context surrounding renewables, not campaigning for a particular party, and I think the distinction is obvious. I understand wh...
	RE: Heat Pump Books For Beginners: The Ultimate Guide to Heat Pumps, Bodge Buster, From Zero To Heat Pump Hero & Britain's Heat Pump Shitshow By JamesPa, 6 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	For me the whole situation now reduces to: The industry won't change unless forced to by government, and possibly not even then. This takes time, certainly more than 3 years. Consumer education and c...
	RE: 'Chinese Diesel Heater' to heat the home ..... By BlizzardGreen, 6 days ago Forum Wood Burners, Biomass, Small Scale, Biofuels & Other Heating Alternatives
	Old thread but I'm new to the forum so new to me. How has it worked out for you. I bought one for my small workshop a few years back. I ran a line directly to the heating oil tank outside. The worksho...
	RE: Heat Pump Books For Beginners: The Ultimate Guide to Heat Pumps, Bodge Buster, From Zero To Heat Pump Hero & Britain's Heat Pump Shitshow By Mars, 6 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@jamespa, I understand the concern. The title is deliberately provocative because polite titles disappear and frankly I've seen no improvements in install quality on five years. The subtitle explains ...
	RE: Starting Our Heat Pump Journey: 1962 build 3 bed detached house By JamesPa, 6 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Absolutely spot on IMHO. Anytime someone posts here that they are installing a 10,12,16kW heat pump or worse still a cascade I am immediately suspicious. Of course it happens occasionally that this ...
	RE: Starting Our Heat Pump Journey: 1962 build 3 bed detached house By AndrewJ, 6 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@jamespa I used 9MWh of gas but the heat loss was originally calculated at around 8.5kWh and a 9kW heat pump installed. It was subsequently recalculated to 7.5kWh but I actually think it is better th...
	RE: Starting Our Heat Pump Journey: 1962 build 3 bed detached house By JamesPa, 6 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	And that is the whole point really. The ofgem standard house (medium) consumes 11.5MWh of gas per year so is well less than 7kW. The fact it's the ofgem standard tells you are lots and lots of them....
