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, 7 days ago |

| @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, 1 week ago |

| @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... | ||

By bobflux, 1 week ago |

| Mine only complains if flow is catastrophically low, otherwise it simply works at higher deltaT, up to 10°C or even 20°C, with a corresponding drop in efficiency of course. But it runs fine, so if you... | ||

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, 1 week ago |
|
| Hmm, not so sure personally about the title. Who is it aimed at? Presumably not those who want a heat pump because the title doesn't include 'and how to avoid it'. Is it aimed at people who have al... | ||

RE: Starting Our Heat Pump Journey: 1962 build 3 bed detached house
By JamesPa, 1 week ago |
|
| Yes and yes, although I haven't seen many here which are down to this, so I wouldn't count it as a top failure mode based on what we see here. Most installers would, I hope, catch this when they commi... | ||
