Isn't it more efficient/cheaper to heat your DHW with the ASHP with a COP of 3 (300% efficiency) than use the immersion with a COP of 1? Excess sola...
@johnmo It's a utility hallway - that photo was taken during the installation, pipework is now lagged, and I will be building a closet to house the ta...
@mike-h Yes, I was aware it's not ideal, as discussed in this article: The installers insist on a volumiser (a) to ensure the minimum volume is a...

Yes, we have a 50L volumiser installed, and our radiators can emit the minimum heat output at flow temps of 33-34C, so this is as low as we can go.
Interesting @mike-h. When I first looked at Cosy, it didn't appeal and we went with Agile. I'm not sure if they have changed the time slots and the di...
@steve81uk We are all radiators, no UFH so do not benefit of the thermal mass associated with the latter. Further, our new internal wall insulation (I...
I have an oversized Samsung 12kW heat pump, 3.64kW solar, but no batteries, and this new Cosy tariff has caught my interest. For anyone with batteries...
@ecobaker absolutely correct - I'd only manually kick in the immersion when prices turn negative, so (a) I can store energy by heating DHW as high as ...
@ecobaker Thanks. Hopefully we may have some cheap pricing slots on Agile this weekend, so I will be able to have a play and observe how these setting...
