  1. He can have my second chef for 5k.
  2. The drive down on prices/wages is a common problem. Business should choose their target market more carefully. I would rather sell to someone that can easily afford my prices, rather than one that will struggle to pay. No business owes customers a bargain.
  3. Why my immersion heater is a 16A switch.
  4. Not if you have Mal de debarquement.
  5. Wire the replacement FCU in and measure the current it is drawing.
  6. I wear my work clothes, then hang them up to dry.
  7. So my bath is probably using an extra 90 litres a day.
  8. My total area is 50m2 Taking a guess here, do you shower, rather than a daily bath?
  9. When I calibrated a bunch of DS18B20s, I found the biggest variance was in the time they took to react to a temperature change. This can give the impression that they are less accurate than they are.
  10. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000kv7j
  11. @dpmiller Had a quick look at the spec this morning. Nothing stands out as either good or bad. So that is good. How oversize is it going to be, that is one of the main things that will effect noise and performance.
  12. It is about what I use, though it is very variable. If you have the data, apart from the plugging it in, and finding the daily temperatures, it is a fairly easy thing to do.
  13. They are just electrical resistance heaters which don't heat the stuff you want warm. They rely on public ignorance of science.
  14. I would say, "seriously rethink the Durisol part".
  15. Try sending it using your phone as a wireless hotspot. That should show if it is the email provider or the ISP who has problems.
  16. That is about 13,400 kWh/year. If you use 80% of that in 4 months (winter), that works out at ~90 kWh/day. That could be satisfied with a 5 kW heat pump, but one would probably have to go to an 8 kW to be on the safe side. That may change the installation cost.
  17. Shall see if I can make sense of it later, hard to read in the phone.
  18. Just make a new lid from plastic sheet stuck to some PU insulation. As Dave says, seen a lot worse, mine for a start.
  19. There is, in the spec sheet, only one temperature (A7) and one CoP. Is there a proper chart somewhere showing the CoP over a decent temperature range i.e. -15°C to +25°C?
  20. In your cock cage, again.
  21. Which flies in the face of decarbonising the UK economy.
  22. Are you sure. 15,000 kWh at £0.15/kWhe = £750 (this works out at £0.016/kWht at a CoP of 3) 45,000 kWhg at £0.04 = £1,800 This assumes that the ASHP delivers, on average, a CoP of 3.
  23. Time for Alice Cooper's Muscle of Love.
  24. You have to delete the original, including the @, and start again.
