	RE: Heat Pump Servicing & Maintenance – Good Value or Rip-Off? By Morgan, 4 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@dgclimatecontrol Many thanks for that info. Looks like I will be sticking with the original then.
	RE: Mitsu Wireless Controller and MelCloud By DavidAlgarve, 4 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@morgan I am finding it hard to accept that the display should read "Idle" when either the heating or DHW is "OFF", because I am reasonably sure that it showed "Prohibit" for this condition before the...
	RE: How much am I ‘saving’? By Tim441, 4 days ago Forum Electricity, Tariffs, Monitoring & Providers
	@toodles agreed... probably worth effort at sub 10p? IOG is 7p+ vat overnight. Other benefit is ensuring I maximise pv solar prod via exports - not using myself or filling batteries .. say mid May to...
	RE: How much am I ‘saving’? By Toodles, 4 days ago Forum Electricity, Tariffs, Monitoring & Providers
	@tim441 Indeed, so many variables! At present, I export solar energy and am paid 15 pence per KWh but I don’t feel it worthwhile to grid-charge the battery at 13 point summat pence, allow ~10% loses f...
	RE: How much am I ‘saving’? By Tim441, 4 days ago Forum Electricity, Tariffs, Monitoring & Providers
	@old_scientist yes, assumptions are crucial. For many people a change of tariff may lead to changes in behaviour & usage in order to maximise time of use (tou) tariffs. Having moved over the years...
	RE: Who's your electricity provider and what's your tariff? By Transparent, 4 days ago Forum Electricity, Tariffs, Monitoring & Providers
	That's the sort of good design we would expect from Tesla @toodles. There is another reason why an inverter/charger should incorporate current limiting... it's better for the grid. If a home battery i...
	RE: ASHP heat output monitoring By Tim441, 4 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@carlo I have a 16kw LG Therma V. Installed 2020 so even less data available! Can you join the Facebook LG Therma user group? They have some good technical people & installers. Are you using weath...
	RE: Heat Pump Servicing & Maintenance – Good Value or Rip-Off? By dgclimatecontrol, 4 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@morgan They may be good but cannot service the heat pump as they don't appear to be F Gas reg, therefore cannot leak check and limited to what they know and can do. Happy to be proved wrong but the p...
	RE: Heat Pump Servicing & Maintenance – Good Value or Rip-Off? By dgclimatecontrol, 4 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@old_scientist Probably okay if they are servicing the heat pump too, often they just service the heating system indoors as not F Gas qualified. We charge £158 plus vat but don't service the cylinder ...
	RE: Who's your electricity provider and what's your tariff? By Toodles, 4 days ago Forum Electricity, Tariffs, Monitoring & Providers
	@transparent Don’t know about other manufacturer’s offerings but in the case of the Tesla Powerwalls, the app indicates that once charging reaches the 90% level, the charging rate reduces and tails of...
	RE: Who's your electricity provider and what's your tariff? By Transparent, 4 days ago Forum Electricity, Tariffs, Monitoring & Providers
	That's what most people do if the system offers such a configuration. There's an obvious risk of damage due to over-charging if your inverter/charger is permitted to reach the 100% level whilst sti...
	RE: Mitsu Wireless Controller and MelCloud By Morgan, 4 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@davidalgarve If they are 'off' because of a timed schedule, and this is their time to be 'off', it might be that it is actually in its 'idle' mode. I don't know that for sure, but in my post above, ...
