Do I just go with the lowest quote for my heat pump?
Day 3 we got hot water! no radiators connected but all hung in place. Still loads of drilling, banging, sawing. After they had finished for the day I went into the loft and found the volumiser was in a very awkward place which would make it difficult for me to reconnect the MVHR.
Day 4 after a bad night of poor sleep When the crew arrived I asked the lead installer if the volumiser could be moved. He listened to my explanation and after a think he said OK that's easy. Phew I was expecting more resistance. During the day all radiators were connected filled, drained after a tiny leak found, refilled and by 1300 the pump was turned on (I nearly said fired up but that would not be appropriate 😀 ) The rubbish was taken away and, as I sat down for a sandwich, was asked to go on a tour to explain it all. By 1700 all was finished they had cleared up and all that remained was to make sure We were happy and had an understanding of the app. Yippee we had our house back! It had been a difficult 4 days but the guys were marvellous. Next I have to learn how to set it up to run efficiently getting rid of the thermostat, trvs and schedules but first have a quiet long weekend.
