He started a Topic on Heat Batteries here, which you might like to read.

@ecoste, @walnut-tree-cottage these are both great pieces of kit.

As I am sure you know running a heat pump is rather different to running a boiler.  Whereas with boilers we tend to have TRVs switching radiators on and off, and thermostats switching the boiler on/off, with heat pumps its generally best, both for cost and comfort, to leave radiators and the pump itself on all the time just ticking away at a low temperature. 

If you havent already can I suggest you read this introductory article which should help you understand how to get the best out of it.  Please feel free to start a thread and post questions if you are unsure.


4kW peak of solar PV since 2011; EV and a 1930s house which has been partially renovated to improve its efficiency. 7kW Vaillant heat pump.
