  1. They have to be designed correctly as well. There is a chance that CO2 can accumulate to fatal levels.
  2. There is a lot of talk about having bikes stolen. What you need is something to keep the rain off the saddle.
  3. My walking boot's laces outlasted my Vibram soles. I have found StormGrip the best down here on the granite. You live a different life to us farmboys.
  4. Can't help with the design much, I would have thought the door was the bit that needs to be secure and sturdy. The rest could be block. Put some power into it as everyone is now getting electric bikes and scooters.
  5. Bottom of my tank usually settles around 10°C higher than the temperature of the incoming water. It is worth, when looking at my chart, that most mornings I have a bath full out of it after the E7 heating window has finished.
  6. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
  7. Exactly what my fridge cost me.
  8. I had a lodger who had had a stroke. What was good for going downwards did not help much on the way up.
  9. May car can, according to the spec, do 113 MPH. Best to measure it.
  10. Would it be enough in your loft?
  11. Do you know the flow rate of your shower? Only needs a jug and a stop watch to check it out.
  12. More under slab insulation and decent perimeter insulation. Don't you ever read what is said on here.
  13. Yes maybe. But I got a new washing machine, and 100 quid from Tesco, because after 14 months the unit packed up. Was all pretty painless. With any warranty, there will be conditions i.e. installed by a qualified person. So I would rather take my chances, if the consumer protection is still in place, with a retailer, rather than a manufacturer.
  14. I thought, for domestic buyers, the 1 year warranty, was a thing of the past. Goods now have to last a reasonable time. Or is that something we have lost since we hated the EU's meddling in our domestic affairs. We will all be better off with shoddy goods and services.
  15. I work in an industry that needs cleanliness. If I see an unshaven chef, I usually don't eat there. You can bath twice a day.
  16. Then design the floor correctly. You can have the ASHP come in earlier, but heat the slab to a lower temperature, say 2 K below normal operational temperature. If you insulate the DHW cylinder, then even at a relatively low temperature of 48°C, you should only have a drop of 1 or 2 K over 48 hours. This does depend how much you draw form it. If you draw HW until it is too cold to bath in, the fit a larger system.
  17. Old has heating was like my first turbocharged car and my old Kawasaki KH500. They did nothing for ages, then delivered full power, then stopped.
  18. Not always. You have to take into account the RH. The important temperature is 277K, not 0°C. Then you have to take into account how long the ASHP is on. The longer it is running for, the greater the chance it will get some frosting. We still have a mentality that says 'turn the heating off at night, and heat up the water just before it is needed'. This is not the best way to run an ASHP system.
  19. With a CoP of 2.5, you can reduce that low, overnight intensity, even more. There is also the marginal increase. People forget that if a higher emitting power plant needs to be turned on, while the average intensity seems to be unaffected, the energy unit intensity vastly increased. This is why we are installing RE generation. Turning on unused RE does not increase the marginal tonnage emitted.
  20. My E7 night rate is 12p+VAT now (I think). Your strategy does nothing to reduce CO2e emissions.
  21. The OP is on about pellets, though there are issues with pellet quality.
  22. The general opinion on here, and predecessor website, is that pellet boiler were not worth the bother or expense. And then there is the 'carbon neutral' miss accounting that makes gas no worse environmentally.
  23. Can still get my induction hob from Currys. https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/cooking/hobs/russell-hobbs-rh60ih401b-electric-induction-hob-black-10213540-pdt.html
  24. I think a 'truth and reconciliation' approach would be more productive. Locking up, or even hanging murders, has not stopped murder.
