Good spot Kev M. Aj, what is the room by room heat demand / loss calculation? As Kev M says, changing every radiator is surprising. Can you do work t...
So early days for me aj. According to my installer, 10mm micro bore are ok if your main system/loft pipes are at least 28mm. Ideally 35mm. Mine are. O...

Hi Kev, yes it’s the full demand for heat & h/w. I’m hoping the 7500kWh is a maximum, and the requirement will be less. Since the heat demand/loss...
Me too Mars. That’s the big question. The heat demand / heat loss calculation calculation said 7500kWh. SCOP is 2.9 Time will tell 🤞
Hi Jenny and welcome. I found two installers who would provide a comprehensive quote, without payment. And several others did a video review. I also h...
