Assessing Heatmiser Neostat Accuracy: How and Why to Calibrate Them
Posted by: @editor
@morgan we intend to document everything and show the difference. Where in the UK are you based?
@editor Derbyshire.
Retrofitted 11.2kw Mitsubishi Ecodan to new radiators commissioned November 2021.
14 x 500w Monocrystalline solar panels.
2 ESS Smile G3 10.1 batteries.
ESS Smile G3 5kw inverter.
Same for us. Our Ecodan now runs on WC with all emitters fully open. Neostats are now used for monitoring only.Posted by: @morgan
I had a Heatmiser Neostat installed with my Ecodan. I was told, I think, by Brendon that it was a simple on-off switch not suited to ASHP control. He advised stripping it out and installing Mitsubishi components. I did exactly that.
Mitsubishi Ecodan 11.2kW R32 ASHP; Ecodan DHW cylinder; UFH+rads
20x430W Jinko TOPCON Tiger Neo solar; Luxpower 6+4kW hybrid inverter; 20kWh LFP battery storage
@Morgan I'm still looking into this for you – the competent installers that are near you don't do "repair" work yet – they just want to full installs. I have, however, been given two names of installers that are very reputable – if/when they reply, I'll put them in touch with you.

That's very kind. I've made contact via two websites here and had no reply so I suspect that they too are only interested in full installs. Frustrating.

I suspect the reason may be that there is no grant that can be applied to repair work, so no opportunity to bump up the price. 🙄
@Morgan I've just sent you a DM with the details of @adrian-liddell from Busy Energy who comes highly recommended by other installers that we trust. I will let you contact Adrian and see if this is a project he can assist you with.
