RE: Getting closer to a finished Haier system
By Singlespeed, 2 weeks ago |
|
| Getting closer to a finished system. The pipes still need insulation but it's flushed and bled, now holding 0.4bar pressure after two leaky unions. I've still got a completely new circuit to three rad... | ||

| And here we are with another month’s generation: Not quite as high as last September’s yield but quite respectable I think. Here are the last four September readings. Regards, Toodles. Attachment :... | ||

RE: Is This Initial Free Quote From Octopus Trusted Partner Reasonable?
By ltron2, 2 weeks ago |
|
| @rob-of-york Thank you, that's really useful information and it is definitely a worthwhile option if I can't get good value for money for a full replacement (which is my preference). I am impressed th... | ||

| @ltron2 We currently have a gas boiler for hot water and central heating complemented by an Air-to-Air (A2A) system that provides very efficient heating and cooling. See this thread for details: Sub... | ||

RE: Replacing Storage Heaters with a Heat Pump in a Stone Cottage

| Thanks for posting the revised estimate, it is also a useful reminder of the need to check and re-check everything, and then check again. The previous estimate (6464W) is over 50% more that the curren... | ||

By Rob of York, 2 weeks ago |

| Posted by: @paul1098 I have just been thru' my heat loss calcs and realised that I hadn't revised it for the double glazing we added. I've also revised the air changes as I think they were probably O... | ||

RE: Replacing Storage Heaters with a Heat Pump in a Stone Cottage

| If it's reasonably well connected internally you will likely get away with fewer A2A outlets than you have rooms. In three domestic scale community centres I had a2A installed in main rooms only. Su... | ||

RE: Replacing Storage Heaters with a Heat Pump in a Stone Cottage
By Paul1098, 2 weeks ago |
|
| @rob-of-york I had wondered about A2A. That's something else for me to think about and get quotes for. The current water heating is by immersion heater so that could be kept although it's not ideal. A... | ||

RE: Replacing Storage Heaters with a Heat Pump in a Stone Cottage
By Rob of York, 2 weeks ago |
|
| @paul1098 As you have no pipework or radiators present, and the house is not occupied that many weeks per year, it would be well worth looking into Air-to-Air (A2A) heat pumps. Most people think of t... | ||

RE: Replacing Storage Heaters with a Heat Pump in a Stone Cottage
By JamesPa, 2 weeks ago |
|
| Yes. Basically the best way to run a heat pump system, in many, probably most, cases, in open loop 24x7, no controls other than weather compensation. TRVs and thermostats, if present, set a couple o... | ||

By Paul1098, 2 weeks ago |
|
| @jamespa I assume getting the WC curve and rad balancing right is what gives you a decent heat pump system. I assume once you've set this up it doesn't need changing for the summer or does it? | ||

RE: Replacing Storage Heaters with a Heat Pump in a Stone Cottage
By JamesPa, 2 weeks ago |
|
| OK, makes sense. A decent heat pump will have full remote control and can therefore be turned on in anticipation say a couple of days before hand. Note that there is no point in over-sizing the heat... | ||
