How does your garden grow?
SteamyTea replied to recoveringbuilder's topic in Landscaping, Decking & Patios
It is so tempting to go out and stick voltage probes into slugs and snails. I suspect there is a law against it. -
Welcome I hope, for members of this site, the 'Free' in freelance is available. Best of luck.

I just did. https://www.edfenergy.com/sites/default/files/goelectric_ratecard_jul24.pdf Those are painful prices. May be better off on a standard rate. 52p a day to say you can buy in at 4.5p/kWh at night. Then, it will cost you 51p/kWh. They know that an EV can only pull 7.2 kW for a short time before it throttles back. ASHPs are similar. Not often they will run at max power for very long. They usually pull about 5A, 1.3 kW, or so. I think you need to be very careful with these sorts of deals.

Many people where, my first house was similar. Why I like insulation, airtightness and a heating system. -

Reducing Energy Bills - How goes it?
SteamyTea replied to Ferdinand's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
Thermals are the norm, fur coat is tricky. Tends to make me wheeze. My sister has my mother's old mink coat. If asked in the street, by a total stranger, if it is real, her reply is "yes, do you have a problem with that". Mt normal reply is "do you know how women get minx: the same way minx get minx" Usually defuses the situation. -

Can make you drive faster. Mainly as it is a 5V unit, not 12V. -

Reducing Energy Bills - How goes it?
SteamyTea replied to Ferdinand's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
Had a look at the last full week I was here. 18.6 kWh, so 2.7 kWh/day. I think that is the lowest I have every used. -

Which Hot Water cylinder for Pellet Boiler
SteamyTea replied to Tetrarch's topic in Boilers & Hot Water Tanks
In a lab. Bet it breaks the WHO guidelines in everyday usage (5 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 15 μg/m3 for PM10). It is fudged by allowing a higher limit for 24 hours. -

I wish everyone read their meters. Would make life so simple for everyone. On a more general note about estimated bills. Now a lot of people have smart meters, why don't the energy companies off the chance to pay a twelfth of the previous years usage, OR, pay what you actually owe. I know some cheapskates will get into trouble come the winter, but they will probably be in trouble anyway (and I am paying an extra 25p a day to bail them out). -

SteamyTea replied to Tetrarch's topic in Boilers & Hot Water Tanks
Generally, with highly polluting burners like these, it is normal to put a lot of energy, in as short a time, into a thermal store. Then draw what you need from that. The calculation are fairly basic, just your needs divided by the power input. -
23 kWh you (expletive deleted)ign retard.

Is that similar to 420 friendly and likes O. I like changing the SSID on my mobile when I am in a cafe.
