RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

I agree. I've found the thread - appropriately enough called 'A conundrum...' - where I raised this question before. It may have been before you joine...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

Will give an answer tomorrow, probably not very detailed, as my time using oil for CH is but a dim glow in the far distance that gets smaller with eve...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

I'm actually doing better than that. The chart has thousands of data points, and the ('trend') line in effect averages/summarises all those data point...

@jamespa - @jamespa - you are still avoiding my question! Is it not the case that the divide by 2000 rough rule of thumb can give very misleading resu...

That chart shows heating energy in for my heat pump. Given an efficiency of 300%, then an energy in figure of 4 will give an energy out figure of 12. ...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

I suspect two things are getting conflated here: (1) my demonstration of my method for using energy in/out to determine heat loss, using my heat pum...
