| I've been following the forum, watching the podcasts for a while as our heating definitely needed an overhaul. The house is a 1990 conversion of an old farm building which had storage heaters and imme... | ||

By Batpred, 6 days ago |

| @l8again It seems you did very well. With our HG heat loss, we did not have anything proposed close to a SCOP of 4. Our heat loss is also outside the bands calculated based on 30 mins gas usage. | ||

| Just wondering how you went in the end? A guaranteed 400% efficiency including hot water looked pretty good, did you have Heat Geek do the work? | ||

RE: Cooling with air to water heat pumps
By dgclimatecontrol, 6 days ago |

By Batpred, 6 days ago |
|
| That makes sense. If the heat transfer into a cylinder is better, the pump can be run at a lower FT, helping efficiency. In our case, the heat geek calculator was generally providing a low guaranteed... | ||

RE: What is the Heat Geek Guarantee?
By Batpred, 6 days ago |

| Thanks, we also heard about the thermal store, to be used in combination with a cylinder I believe. It was described as similar to a combi, but to be honest, I could not see how, as our combi is 28kw... | ||

| @editor We've only installed one so far, a 60XS model, but it's performing well from a functionality point of view. That said, I'd always choose a standard unvented cylinder where possible. They're ge... | ||

RE: What is the Heat Geek Guarantee?
By JamesPa, 6 days ago |

| Since we have got onto cylinders, I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with the heat geek mini store in practice? It's obviously not 'ideal' but then neither is the world. Does it fill an i... | ||
