By Andris, 2 weeks ago |
|
| @papahuhu, one day, when I have a battery, if that happens, I’ll go 24/7. For now, the concrete is the battery. I hand-mixed just over 20 tons of concrete. That’s what holds the heat. It’s a strange s... | ||

| @andris That sounds a very unusual way to run your system, it’s the opposite of most people. Doesn’t make much sense to me, but if that’s how’s you want to run it then fine. I too used to live in Edin... | ||

| @old_scientist Yes, it is the not knowing when the calibration is due that is the problem. When I saw the notice of intent show up, I wondered how I could tell when and how long the process would take... | ||

| I’ve tried running it 24/7, but it doesn’t work for me. I have a 16 kW heat pump (which I think is slightly oversized, as my house is about 250 m², but it’s a new build that I insulated myself).  ... | ||

RE: Who's your electricity provider and what's your tariff?
By Andris, 2 weeks ago |
|
| @papahuhu Very true! For now, I probably won’t export much and will import loads as winter kicks in, especially as the tariff I’m on is only 5.71p/kWh. Thankfully, the 6 hours is enough to cover aroun... | ||
