Is the 130kWh electricity usage or heat delivered? If it's heat output then that corresponds to a heat loss of 5.4kW which isn't unreasonable for many...
I've seen people do this for aesthetic reasons (possibly harming their performance), but what is the motivation behind a protective fence? To protect ...
I believe oil usage in litres multiplied by 10 to be your heating requirement in kWh, so with 6 lots of 250L per year that suggests you need 15, 000kW...
Although that's the case, it's very liberally (unfairly) interpreted in this case since it's sheltered on three sides, but not in a way one of those p...

There clearly are differences between them, but I would say generally it's the system design that matters more than what is outside. I spent a while l...
@parmstar so on the temperature front it's clear they just didn't design as you asked. Your actual heat losses could be over 10% higher than that with...
@parmstar sorry to hear about your problems. What is your heat pump model number, the calculated heat loss of your home and the design flow temp? I ...
This may or may not be the case, I was just going off what it said in the above Grant manual. It seems to have a 1 (on) or 0 (off) control, then a two...
@bretix they told you you'd use over 31,000kWh on your heat pumps and you're on track to use 17,000kWh of electricity including your general usage and...
This is what I came to, but then I couldn't understand how there could be 3.3kW of ventilation losses in a house that's only 5 years old, since OP sai...
Did you have a heat loss survey done? Did the installer suggest changing the rads to work with a heat pump?
