By Batpred, 6 days ago |

RE: Missing flow temperature in Heat Geek proposal
By Batpred, 6 days ago |

| That makes sense, even if few people would have a higher outlay before committing. I ended up having the rad upgrades not factored in their performance guarantee (with the benefit of having chosen the... | ||

| @jamespa, fair points, but I think we may be conflating two separate things... supplying the proposed design flow temperature before installation and fitting specialist monitoring equipment afterwards... | ||

By L8Again, 6 days ago |

By JamesPa, 6 days ago |
