I suspect people change their vehicles to a newer model more often than they change wood burners. We already have legislation to reduce the number of ICE cars, and many cities have pro actively banned the worse polluting vehicles from cities centres. I drove, in my old EURO4 Diesel past the Hayle estuary the other day. There was a haze over it caused by wood smoke. There is probably less than 100 houses next to the bank, and even less higher up. If 10% had the stoves going, it showed how bad things are. And that is just the visible smoke, can't see the fine particulates, but they are there.

A picture of it may be useful, or any make and serial number. There is probably a button or two that can be used to cycle though the readings.

Will that be about ten to 6 on the 31 January 1606.

Two things, it is not just smoke that is the problem. Probably illegal to fit one that is not approved for the zone it is in. Easier to just not bother, they will, in time, be banned anyway.

Panels can deliver more than the stated rating, it is only rated at one light level and one temperature, so is that p to 14 kW? Was that limited by the inverter? Seems about the right generation, but if it is exporting on an unused phase, your imports will not be affected. Obligatory kW and kWh.

All you hear tbh is water flow Women testing flow, mid stream, is something to worry about.

I think in really it does not work anywhere. There is a disproportionate I crease I energy usage when there is a change in temperature. Bit like driving. You will soon notice the change in MPG if you only accelerate hard, when going up a hill.

Glad you have some acknowledgement that there is a problem. Really does highlight the need for half decent energy monitoring. Especially if there is 3 Phase. 3 Phase is not really that useful in the domestic setting, except it does allow for a greater capacity. Reducing the loads though time shifting i.e don't run a 6 kW water heater at the same time as charging the car and cooking supper, is probably an easier and much cheaper option.

Anecdotally is an partial anagram of No Data. Without knowing the energy inputs, air leakage and temperature variation, it is not possible to compare the two. Building Regs will tell you a minimum standard anyway, so you cannot go below that. If you know the power losses and the power inputs, the sized of the room, you can calculate the energy needed to heat it

Turfcutter or similar tool - handy for laying slab?

Does it not just make it a self fulfilling prophesy though. There are many products on the market that are all three. Just take mass manufactured food, or automobiles. White goods are another, a basic fridge, £120, lasts for years, does the job asked of it, and as it is a 'white good' looks like most of the rest. Planning, organisation and execution are they keys to getting a job done properly and within budget. -
I am sure that some will claim that because they live in a rural setting and they use 'their own wood', this story is untrue. Smoking in public buildings was banned, and that was less of a problem than this.

Should have built a fence around it. https://metro.co.uk/2023/02/01/couple-at-war-with-neighbours-over-fence-blocking-front-door-18200458/ -
