Getting the best out of a heat pump - is Homely a possible answer?
This is now a very long thread. Not sure I've got the will to read it all as I guess some is overtaken with updates and changes.
I've been offered an opportunity to have a Homely installed free via the Energy Sure Project.
Sounds good but I'm less keen on having to move to Tomato as part of the deal. Having just moved to IOG which seems to be working very well - offering me additional day slots at 7p the early results look like I might get an ave near 10p since changing.
A move will also lose my octopus outgoing 15p
I'm checking my kit suits but seems LG is now supported
ASHP: LG Therma v 16kw. Using weather compensation with reasonable outcome.
Batteries: 3 x 8.2kw Gen1 GivEnergy
Inverter: 5kw Gen1 Hybrid GivEnergy
Pv solar: 6kw + further 2kw older system with Solaredge inverter

Any special comments or suggestions on making a decision?
