Morning @dan-t your .7kWh I hope wouldn’t be 50p. Else your cost per kWh would be 71p. Which is high. I wonder if this .7 is your ASHP just on standby...
Firstly @george great data. I do not have any like that available with my Daikin. Other than if I laboriously go press buttons and write stuff down. E...
@dan-t I think all diverters work in the same way. Sending “spare” PV to wherever you want. If you switch the kettle on, for a cup of tea, the diverte...
Haha @kev-m. 21C. You need to wear a wool jumper 😂 But you are right, different parts of the country at different temperatures We are lucky to g...

We have a Nest thermostat in the hallway. Set at 17.5 in mornings. Goes to 18 to 19.5 in the evening. We have tweaked it to 20 a couple of times. And ...
@dant if it’s a dark or overcast day, then no, I have run the ASHP overnight on our cheap Octopus Go tariff (it is set up as such to heat to 80% if th...
