  1. Or lower capacity ASHPs work well in a lower needs house. Large ones will work well in a leaky house, it is just a case of sizing for the power needs. Don't make financial sense, but that is a separate issue and must not be confused with very basic thermodynamics.
  2. https://pendriveapps.com/software/portable-vnc/ No need to install it either, just pop it into your phone and run it from there as portable storage.
  3. Not if you insulate it well and store the water at a relatively low temperature. My cylinder looses about 0.5 kWh in the time it is idle (and washing up/hand washing), that is on a useage of 2 to 3 kWh. Seems high, but as it is heated by E7, it is 35p/day, standard rate electricity would now cost around 50p/day.
  4. Ah That is what I used in the past, not TeamViewer.
  5. Can't thing like Zoom view and control desktops? I have used TeamViewer, I think there is a way to allow you to log into another machine without the OTP. And Don't Windows already have something built in?
  6. I seem to remember that as well. Also seem to remember that under the normal thermal conductivity testing regime, they performed worse than traditional insulation.. Bit of light reading here: http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=125&page=1#Item_0
  7. This translate into a U of: Superfoil 0.29 W.m-2.K-1 YBS 0.4 W.m-2.K-1 So effectively 0.1 W.m-2.K-1 different. Check the details carefully as in the past multifoils only met the manufacturers claims if they were installed with other types of insulation.
  8. Just write back calling them 'little fart'. That should get them on side, and make you feel better.
  9. Must be the car of choice for Air Testers, @joe90 guy turned up in one as well. So we make airtight houses to reduce energy, then let (expletive deleted) turn up in Rangerovers.
  10. I think there is a Sunamp that can run off a heat pump. Expensive though. Can you fit a cylinder in the loft, or outside in an insulated box? Or just under the stairs. I have a very small house, and have a 200lt cylinder, with enough room above it for another 100 lt.
  11. Both is best
  12. Depending on the layout, A2AHPs may work, and can take advantage of some of the PV generation. Is there enough width to add some insulation on the outside, and maybe enough height to fit one of these. https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/tf-12000ch/telefunken-tf12000ch-air-conditioner-air-conditioner
  13. Runs the risk of pulling in even colder air. EAHPs work best when you have a warm house.
  14. Private Members Club. And she is not invited.
  15. I think mine is unlimited data.
  16. He asked me to do that.
  17. They are probably so stupid that they would not understand what you were saying. If they cannot understand what 'park in your parking space' means, even when you point to the empty space closer to their door, they will not understand what you are offering.
  18. Got new neighbours moving I today. Already had my first talk with them about parking. Can see this as an ongoing thing already the driver is a (expletive deleted).
  19. @Chriswills So as you have had this ASHP 12 years, you had any other issues with it?
  20. Generally, in physical systems, if you can transfer 50% of the energy you are at peak efficiency.
  21. Would it have been better to you an exponential or log curve matching for the Demand as then extrapolation is more accurate.
  22. You can use it to work out the DHW energy consumption as well. HDDs are not perfect as each house is a bit different, but they are useful as a sanity check.
  23. Decide on the thermal losses and then work from that.
  24. Shall see what my timers are when I get home. Not had any problems with them for over a decade.
