You are referring to someone that is currently struggling getting date from some ESP2866s to a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Nothing is a (expletive deleted)ing giggle at the moment.

There are huge hidden costs though, even in the countryside.

Yes, a few years back, and it is why I am still using resistance heating. I started my energy monitoring over a decade ago, because I wanted to know if I would be better off on a flat rate as opposed to E7. Why I am still on E7. I have not run the numbers in the last few years, but doubt it has changed much. The big advantage of resistance heating is that repair/replacement is very cheap. Only had to change the DHW element, but as the cylinder was leaking, I changed that as well, but that was after 33 years of daily usage, cost less than £300 (got the cylinder of @Nickfromwaless mate Trevor). One of the problems I have is that I live in a warm part of the country. I am only have the heating on for 8 to ten weeks a year, with a bit of fan heater usage when needed. The other problem is that my usage is low, generally less than 15 kWh/day in the depth of winter, which sometimes drops below 8°C down here. The biggest problem is that I never meant to be in this place for 20 years, was only a temporary move while I retrained as a teacher, then back to Hertfordshire. Well that is what I told my then girlfriend. When I move next time, I shall invest all my cash in RE, insulation and airtightness, and an EV.

Explore the rules about fire safety, that should trigger a bit more official investigation.

Short belt up the M1. For me to get to Bristol is further.

I got one from The Range for £9. It is just a 400W fan heater. Works well, but a bit noisy, so sticking to my old fan heater as it is a lot quieter. This last week, which was very varied in temperature, cloud cover, wind speed and rainfall, I heated my house with 20 kWh or finest electrons. This may well be the first year I get to December without turning the storage heaters on.

Ask anyone from St. Awful to smile. Then duck out the way.

No. I binned it during the early part of the year. Don't think it was doing much in the end as I never put any filters in it. Having said that, the pipe that goes to outside (is that the exhaust, they use odd names on heat exchangers) came loose, some housemartyns started nesting in the hole, and the pipe was dripping water out. Still not painted the ceiling in the spare bedroom (needs at least 5 years to dry properly I think). So it may have been working as condensation was happening.

@Onoff I made an MVHR unit a few years back. I separated the plates with some timber strips with double sided tape on each face. One day I will make the Mk3 version.

Which SMAs you got? Why have you got 2 of them?

I think it also takes the ΔT between the flow and return into account. So it is really measuring two temperatures, and adjusting the flow rates/output temperatures to govern the power. I may be wrong on that though.

Cornwall has the most expensive water in the country, which makes it one of the most expensive in the world. By bypassing the meter, sewage charges are reduced if on mains sewage (though that is a bit immoral). @DavyH I think that @JohnMo is on the right track. A totally, unconnected, supply. Our old mate, Jeremy, who no longer posts, designed his own bore hole filtration system that was a sand filter with ozone injection. It worked well.

Can you get them covered in pink fur?

Why our teeth fall out and we have high incidences of lung disease.

Welcome. When did you manage to get a picture of a clear sky in Kernow.

Yes, and this is what it is all about and is why the the cost of carbon needs to be directly related to the energy source. Yes. Grants skew the market too much.

That all depends on how it is commissioned. We often hear stories of woe on here about peoples heat pumps costing a lot to run, and I am sure many people think that their gas boilers cost a lot to run as well.

Easy.

Can you put rain deflectors on the wall. Maybe just some angled ply that stops the rain running down.

I meant a picture of that, not your wobbly wall.

A houseboat then.

How about some pictures of the outside.

Welcome Would need to know the power rating of the lights, and if they supply some heating as well as light. As a rule of thumb, you will get 10% of the available light as electrical power. So this does depend on angles. You can play around with PVGIS to get an idea of the amount of light available. Usually PV modules are fitted outside, they get more light and run cooler. But as this is a relatively small system, placing one by a window should not hamper it too much.

A him called Maria.
