RE: Missing flow temperature in Heat Geek proposal
By L8Again, 5 days ago |

| Another way of looking at this is to say that at heat pump flow temperatures, a radiator will output around half of what it would put out at fossil fuel boiler flow temperatures. This is a ball park f... | ||

RE: Are We Sleepwalking Into Another Race to the Bottom?
By Batpred, 5 days ago |
|
| @jamespa Hope someone tries it! As a consumer, I would like a performance warranty, etc and to see some savings, like with HG installs. With R290, there's less risk but obvs there's also the dreaded... | ||

RE: Heat Geek Zero Disrupt: Are We Sleepwalking Into Another Race to the Bottom?
By JamesPa, 5 days ago |
|
| I'm going to throw it out here in the expectation of being shot down in flames. A perfectly valid way to design a R290 heat pump system for the vast majority of houses that are under 7kW is in 3 stage... | ||

RE: Heat Geek Zero Disrupt: Are We Sleepwalking Into Another Race to the Bottom?
By Batpred, 5 days ago |
|
| This is my best guess/hypothesis. HG are innovating in a competitive market, using advanced analytics/AI. There's no MCS requirement for them reveal flow temp.. If they did reveal it, consumers could... | ||

RE: Are We Sleepwalking Into Another Race to the Bottom?

| @Editor is correct. Under MCS, installers are required to provide a flow temperate and an ESTIMATED SCOP as part of the survey. However,…… A key difference here is that the Heat Geek SCOP is not estim... | ||
