Good ASHP installation near(ish) Bridgend, Wales
Im looking for someone who would be willing to show around and answer questions from my brother in law and his wife. They have seen my own heat pump installations but a plumber they know has put a doubt in their minds with a misinformed comment about a heat pump not providing enough heat for their home.
They live in an old stone built semi-detached with about 145m2 of floorspace and an annual heating oil use of about 23000 kW/year. Ive estimated his heat loss to be about 8kW. Ideally they would need to see a similar sized ASHP working well in a property like theirs.
Thanks Mark

have you checked the heatpumpmonitor.org list for potentials? I'd have thought anyone who's prepared to publish their data is probably also prepared to do a show and tell.

@iancalderbank I did Ian, but the entries dont always have contact details. I also looked at https://www.visitaheatpump.com/ but it doesnt seem to be up and running yet.

@bontwoody I didn't think HPmonitor published contact details at all to be honest, I was more thinking , find one that works , and then post in the openenergy forum "who's is this please?", or politely ask Glyn/Tristan if they can pass a message.
visitaheatpump is a new one on me, do we get paid 😉 ?
