Well I tried to read it for free. Was going to cost £8. Good luck with it though.

Ah, Sundays, when I am driving up to Bucks, via Devon, Somerset, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire. Don't think Avon exists now, but I would go though there as well. I am slowly learning all the names of the Rivers I cross.

Ah, the change, from analogue to digital

Me neither, sorry. I get my bulbs from Poundland, for a pound.

They will have diodes in them doing the work. probably more than one. I want one of these, as it sounds impressive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockcroft–Walton_generator

Diodes, they can do everything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode Just got to pick the right ones

And look how calm the place has been. He has liked a couple of my posts since the upgrade, I did not feel I needed to write a thank you note.

There has to be a difference between low power domestic systems and large scale generation. The cut off has been put at 16 amps per phase. Now that could have been 12 amps, or 25 amps, but it is 16, live with it. Or fill in the right form and pay the fees. It is a bit like taking a car test, you have to meet minimum criteria, but it does not qualify you to drive an articulated 44 tonner.

This is the crux of all heating systems. Old night storage heaters work well, if sized right and used correctly. Open fires can heat a place as well. Crap efficiency though.

Makes it worth getting a 3P meter as it offsets then imports at 35p/kWh.

I am seeing a lot of kw, should be kW.

Too right. That guy Robbins when on to work for the BBC.

Look Warmwater with @Onoff's plumbing. (Say that with a proper Bristol accent like David Prowse had, makes all Darth Vader's threats harmless)

We learnt irony at my school, so it is Simple. Actually not the word we used but not allowed to drop into 1970s language anymore. I still have a vision of the Welsh geography teacher grabbing hold of Robbin's hair and repeatedly smashing his head into the desk while shouting 'it is metamorphic you spas##c'.

Redo the sizing of the ASHP yourself, then shop around for a suitable unit, ask a plumber how much to fit. Then ask yourself if the £5k grant is a genuine saving. Most in here already know the answer, as I think you do. What is stopping you fitting a gas boiler outside in a cabinet, or in the loft? Not that I want to promote combustion technology. Just seems odd to take one out.

Squirted in @pocster's back ally.

So he is saving you 5% then.

Similar size to mine then. I use >4 MWh/year. Me to, but it is an allergy to some known things, and some unknown things. Be wary of too little heating as it can cause damp induced moulds to appear, which can cause health problems.

Why does the chemistries have to be the same. Is it because single cell voltages are different between chemistries?

Yes, and the baby. When I say rag, what I meant was a used candle wick that had passed though the dog.

Lights! You were lucky. We had to sit around a smouldering rag.

Welcome How much energy does your current house use? How large is it and how many of you in it.

@Digger1 AKA Hole Goes Bang.

I had to look that up. Luckily you are this side of the Tamar.

& you called me landed gentry I throw Janners on mine. Plenty more where they come from.
