Boston Lincs based homeowner seeks advice on HP install
I'm pretty certain that the £4.5k being quoted was on the basis of this being treated as a New Connection.
That's very different to the approach used for LCT Applications.
Overall, I recommend not having discussions about costs in a 'live' conversation.
You need that information in writing, so there's no question over what it refers to.
Save energy... recycle electrons!
Posted by: @adamkthe HP im being quoted is between 6-8kw anyway which wont need 3ph.
We can't say that yet!
We don't know the loading of your particular phase from the local substation.
Very few of the 230,000 ground-mounted substations are monitored.
I have access to a few of those which are,
and losses due to phase imbalance is a serious issue.
NGED's present RIIO-ED2 Agreement with Ofgem requires them to reduce those 'technical losses'.
Failure to do so will result in more outages due thermal stress caused by current in the Neutral (grey line in above graph).
