  1. I asked my contact at the installer training centre. They knew nothing about it, had never tested and did not seem interested. I did email Vilnis Vesma about it. He seemed interested, but again, have not heard anything since. The one person I know that had an Ecodan has moved, so can't go and test theirs. All a bit frustrating not knowing whether it is a real problem or a W or Wh problem.
  2. A wood burner is anything but eco friendly.
  3. Isaac Lord is a company in High Wycombe, England. Try googling it and see if you can get in that way. They are retailers.
  4. Used to work in the furniture trade, so spent too many hours in Isaac Lords.
  5. Motor only pulls 0.4A. Inrush current is X1.2 So half amp. There are a number of cable size calculators online that allow for the installation type i.e. buried in insulation. But 0.75 should be fine.
  6. This watering business is showing a great lack understanding of the UK's variable rainfall. Whenever you sow, you will need to water.
  7. Just plant some it will be fine. A good lawn is more than the months you plant it.
  8. Confused. Is this pump connected to mains pressure?
  9. Quick, call for Inspector Barnaby. He is the only man for the job.
  10. CUMSUM is needed. @pocster claims it is terrific fun.
  11. Welcome. Rather than muck about with smart controls that hide the inherent deficiencies, improve insulation and airtightness/ventilation. Make the problem small and you then only have a small problem to solve.
  12. Ah, Gerbiling The sentence that keeps giving.
  13. You still got no friends. Just jugglers and clowns doing tricks for you.
  14. Yes, that makes more sense. My cheap timers are rated at 16A, but when I looked inside, there were 20A replays. Probably why they have lasted at least 13 years now. They turn on the storage heaters and DHW to limit the E7 window to the last 4 hours.
  15. A £550k one now.
  16. Probably the quickest thing to devalue a house.
  17. I watered my beans, nothing sprouting yet.
  18. My parents cost £2,500 to heat, in 1984. That is when I learnt the value of school physics and latent heat of evaporation.
  19. Um. At least Sainsburys had the decency to jazz it up at Christmas. Before and After
  20. Would make sense for the brickies to sort out the scaffolding.
  21. Long time since I was in the health and leisure industry, and we did not sell pools. Ask for 25% of the house asking price because it has a pool. Then fill it in. Cost about a fiver to go to a bigger, cleaner and much safer council run one.
  22. @joe90 will tell you how to win at appeal, he had loads of trouble with planning. Timber frame is initially fast. Then you can finish at your leisure. Consider getting loads of PV on the roof at this stage, that will, to a certain extend, set the orientation and the roof angle, and banish things like parapets, chimneys and anything that caused shading.
  23. Why I was suggesting others but one. There is a new 'pulse test that has been approved. Compressed air is released, then the pressure profile measured. Similar to farting under a light blanket, or so I am told.
  24. Spend a grand and keep testing. Then rent it to others. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164767790472
