By Mars, 5 days ago |

| Our latest Homeowners’ Q&A episode has just dropped, where I was once again joined by Simon Baseden (@ashp-bobba) to compare air-to-air and air-to-water heat pumps for UK homes. We look beyond the... | ||

RE: Are We Sleepwalking Into Another Race to the Bottom?
By L8Again, 5 days ago |

| @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... | ||

RE: Heat Geek Zero Disrupt: Are We Sleepwalking Into Another Race to the Bottom?
By Mars, 5 days ago |
|
| @jamespa, I think your counterfactual is a powerful one and in principle I agree with its destination. Homeowners should not have to become amateur heating engineers simply to protect themselves from ... | ||

RE: Vaillant ecoTEC Plus with sensoCOMFORT and weather compensation
By JamesPa, 5 days ago |
|
| Yes, its described in the sensocomfort manual. Its also very sensible. Many heat pumps can only do setback by invoking on/off working, bouncing off a thermostat/temperature sensor. Vaillant and som... | ||

RE: Heat Geek Zero Disrupt: Are We Sleepwalking Into Another Race to the Bottom?
By JamesPa, 5 days ago |
|
| @editor I think you may be somewhat missing the point here, perhaps over influenced by the way the industry has conditioned us to think and, in a way, arguing against a change in the industry which yo... | ||

RE: Heat Geek Zero Disrupt: Are We Sleepwalking Into Another Race to the Bottom?
By Mars, 5 days ago |

| @l8again from memory (and I am quite happy to be corrected on this) I think MCS has for some time expected flow temperature and predicted performance to be presented together, rather than asking the c... | ||

RE: Are We Sleepwalking Into Another Race to the Bottom?
By L8Again, 5 days ago |
|
| @editor How many installers actually give both a maximum flow temp and SCOP? I believe that Octopus gives a design flow temp and a standard estimate benchmark SCOP rather than a bespoke design SCOP. ... | ||

RE: Heat Geek Zero Disrupt: Are We Sleepwalking Into Another Race to the Bottom?
By Mars, 5 days ago |
|
| That’s precisely why the design flow temperature and underlying calculations are so important IMO. If the heat loss remained at 5.86kW, upgrading eight radiators should have enabled a lower flow tempe... | ||

RE: Vaillant ecoTEC Plus with sensoCOMFORT and weather compensation
By Batpred, 5 days ago |

| Well, at the moment I am busy as we are experiencing some comms glitches - that I am trying to get Vaillant to address (beyond saying "please reboot"). But if this misalignment with TOU continues, th... | ||
