	RE: Surface mount or bury primaries for heat pump installation? By tomasmcguinness, 4 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Current thinking is a Kronoterm Adapt. Doing the ground works myself (trench digging, base casting, that sort of thing). Then the professionals will finish the job. Presently, I'm just exploring my o...
	RE: Surface mount or bury primaries for heat pump installation? By tomasmcguinness, 4 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@abernyte I was thinking of an SWA in the ducting. I'm looking at a combined water and electrical pipe (uponor or isoflow for example).
	RE: Surface mount or bury primaries for heat pump installation? By Mars, 4 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@tomasmcguinness, because ours runs under our driveway, and I was keen to avoid going too shallow in case it ever got damaged from heavy vehicle deliveries or future resurfacing. As for guidance on in...

	Broadly, the electrical cable will need to be either earthed armoured or in a duct to prevent mechanical damage. Both need to be marked with the required tape.
	RE: Surface mount or bury primaries? By tomasmcguinness, 4 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@editor My side access already contains services, so it's not easy. I think I'm going to have to shallow bury the pipe as it will need to go over some of the existing services. There is clay pipe down...

	@abernyte That is an excellent point. I hadn't considered that at all! I think I'll be burying a pipe 🙂
	RE: Getting the best out of a heat pump - is Homely a possible answer? By cathodeRay, 4 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	It took me more than a few goes as well, plus some help from this forum! Weather compensation curve properly tweaked is the way to go (or if not, the best starting point - I ended up adding an 'auto-a...
	RE: Surface mount or bury primaries? By Abernyte, 4 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	I think I would be wary of attaching my services to a neighbours property without some form of legal agreement to allow this and the required access to them in perpetuity. It also leaves the pipework ...
	Surface mount or bury primaries for heat pump installation? By tomasmcguinness, 4 days ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Hi, I'm in the early stages of planning my heat pump installation and whilst I know where the pump itself will be sited, I need to work out how to get the water into the garage. The path will see the...
