@batalto, our DNO application with Scottish Power took six weeks.

SSE have blamed covid for the delay. They are aware we are waiting and hope to have someone come out to look "soon"

@batalto, that's very frustrating and Covid is beginning to wear a bit thin as an excuse.  Western Power Distribution did ours all online in February, no visit required, in about 10 days. 

I think you can get your GHG voucher extended if you ask.

@batalto, I have to say that the Covid excuse is wearing a bit thin, so I empathise. Hopefully it'll approved soon. Just hang in there.

Install is underway. Pump arrived fine, however they sent a hot water tank too wide to fit into the loft. Tank says 510mm on the box, but its 560mm when measured...

Hopefully be able to swap it easily - lets see.

Good luck @batatlo. I’m sure all will go well. I had the opposite problem - they sent a slimmer, but taller tank. Ended up fitting fine. Luckily. As the original wider one would not have fitted 😳

Did you go with a Mixergy tank or one by the ASHP manufacturer?
