As long as you show the monthly output in Kw/h.

I heard, like swimming pools, it is one of the worse things you can have when it comes to selling.

God I hope not.

You can always use more hot water, that makes the numbers look better.

Got visions of a young Barbara Windsor now.

Is it to allow the cat in to warm up the bed. https://youtu.be/T6LFsvoAAVA

For every £1000 spent, and assuming that a PV system will last 20 years, that is £50 a year you have lost. £50 buys between 200 and 350 kWh. If you say kW of installed solar cost £1000 and yields 1MWh/year, that is potentially a saving of £140 to £240 a year. So take away the £50, that is potentially £90 to £190 a year saving. So maybe the trick is to only install a small amount of PV, say enough to heat your DHW demands for half the year, rather than over install and feel you are loosing money because you cannot utilise it all. (I used 14p and 24p a kWh as my import figures).

FFS. An app for a bath. An app to lock kids in their rooms sounds better. https://inews.co.uk/news/tesla-app-outage-leaves-drivers-locked-out-cars-1311237

I have recently been wasting time in High Wycombe General Hospital. I have noticed in Wards 8&9 that the walls are very warm. This is only the part below the windows. Halfway along each wall is a portable A/C unit that is very noisy. Even opening the windows necessatates the A/C running. So they must be extremely efficient.

Post it up then, make sure you compare them fairly though. Needs to be PPP per person.

Not for too much longer, we are electrifying our personal transport. Going to be fun watching a cyclist try and out accelerate someone in a second hand Model 3. I am all for separating cyclists, scooter users and pedestrians from the main part of a road. Seems they are as well, why they use footpaths.

They have different words because they are different things. If you think they are the same thing, come down to Cornwall, with its very mild climate, lay on the beach, while enjoy the effects of a gentle force 10 storm. You will be washed away fairly fast, but no worry, we will not have to listen to you say 'climate and weather are the same thing'.

I am about to drive 300 miles. Have been doing a 600 mile round trip every weekend for weeks now. Drive up, look at it, if it seems pristine, get it. It is one less thing to worry about.

Luckily no plumbers have replied. They woul be getting you to change it to a posh UVC, with dozens of wires, pipes and valves.

It will hold the larger parts and increase the time until they fall from seconds to hours. It is why film was fitted to the glass in Docklands after the IRA bombings. But if you are so worried, why fit this design of skylight. Or you could fit wired glass.

If rain water can fall onto the radiator, then the chances of frosting up are significantly increased. Liquid water, at 0.01°C takes 4.2174 kJ.kg-1.K-1 and then 334 kJ.kg-1 to turn to ice. Gaseous water takes 227.2 kJ.kg-1. So water only takes 338 kJ.kg-1 to turn to ice. Water vapour takes 565 kJ.kg-1 to turn to ice. So at a fixed energy extraction, you can run the ASHP for almost 70% longer if no liquid water is hitting the radiator.

The way I understand it is that toughened glass can take a greater impact before failure, then the laminated catches the pieces.

I think PHPP incorporates solar gain, and is pretty accurate, so should be fine.

I am in Cornwall, we don't have extreme heat, or cold. Just wind and rain. Get a proper thermal model done.

Possibly as the pipe volume will be quite small. A buffer will only stop short cycling if the boiler is too large for the flow volume. If you disconnect the ground floor, you are making that volume even smaller. You really need to seek legal advice on this. Just to clarify as cross posted with @ProDave A buffer will not help with the ground floor heat loss. What they have done is basically bury a large radiator in your garden.

The UK has a SW prevailing wind, this is a warm wind. I look forward to a proper winter storm, it heats the house up. It is those NE upcountry winds that cause us trouble down here.

Yes. The easiest solution will be to put some radiators back in the ground floor, but that defeats the whole object really. I bet this was not a cheap system.

If you plot imported energy usage against temperature, you will see where the the line intersects the y-axis. That is your non heating electrical usage (roughly).

The solution is to sue the installer.
