When you think of all the different types of cables used, how they are installed, when they are installed, then add in all the 'devices' connected to them, and the difference in business plans that run all the worlds servers and internet services, it is amazing any of it works at all.

I think grid tied inverters test the impedance of the grid as well as voltage and frequency. So not as simple as putting a 50 Hz, 230V signal into them.

What are you (and everyone else) going to do when this 'too good to be true deal ends?

Chesil Cliff House has apparently been bought, but not by Harry Styles.

You already help towards my £50/year water rebates. Still the most expensive in the country, and probably the world.

If I lived on a small island I would keep very quiet about what I have spent.

That is because the mother (expletive deleted)ers never come in at 6AM to see the preparation for there meal.

Just getting my morning coffee, £2.85. Sitting on a comfy dead cow sofa, served by a very nice boy. And now I have the staff login for the interweb, a better connection than my 4G when I am on the promenade.

If they are so brilliant, why have I never seen any at work. Much easier, quicker and less energy intensive ways to soften tough grizzle.

By 'modern', you mean the kind that most of us have bought for the last 25 years.

Was having this conversation with someone I know yesterday. They are going to fort out a £1000ish on some 'smart' panel heaters. I showed them a A2AHP and the answer was. "but we want then radiators on the wall under the windows". Pointed out that the heat emitters, which don't look so dissimilar to what they wanted, can be fitted in the same place. There reply "we only need to get an electrician in, not a plumber". They also think that an oil filled electric radiator uses less energy as it stays warm after it is switched off. Why are people, who had the same school education as most of us, allowed to mingle in society and comment on things they know nothing about, and when challenged, get more stubborn.

Bradford on Avon?

Must have been putting too much water in then.

Yes, a Classics Graduate. Not a (expletive deleted)ing clue about even basic science.

Do you have a link to one please?

You can always tell when they are saying porkies, their lips move.

Just seen this. This is a much greater day rate than I pay to EDF on a standard variable, 3 monthly billing supply. Think I am paying 20p night and 35p day. Have a look at that first.

I don't think that inverter is suitable to be connected to the grid supply. You also have to inform your DNO that you are connecting a generation set to their supply. You are on the right track though, just not the right equipment.

Was thinking something more active. Did something similar for my dissertation. New thread I think.

I am at work at the moment, but I have been draughtproofing more at the moment. What sort of construction is your house? If a draught is coming out of the skirting, it may be bypassing insulation, you don't want that happening. But nor do you want condensation.

How timely. I just drive past a large, new, cold store, was wondering if there was merit in secondary cooling of the exterior. Goes in with something that @JohnMo asked about evaporation losses from walls (still not looked into it). Maybe a new thread when the sun sets for winter, and the rain is lashing down.

Bedroom full of spare pussy, threw one out the window and it shut on my flower bed.

Was going to comment, but most on here don't get the irony of it all. Told you about waking up with your solution on your chest. Now stop it before you get caught.

Why not make your own MVHR unit. I did. Basically just a simple plate with controlled airflow either side. Then pump air through it. Greater the area, and you will have about 80m² of area, the more power can be transferred. The room inlet and outlet vents can be hidden in shadow gaps in the wall. Also has the advantage that any ceiling lighting, and you are having a stupid amount of lighting (get your eyes checked for cataracts, I did, and now only use a 3W LED in an 18m² room) puts the thermal energy directly into the heat exchanger.
