  1. I will bite. So is this a manufacturer that is selling a product that does not contain legal amounts of formaldehyde, by rubbishing the opposition and playing on peoples fears?
  2. Any use? https://mediacdn.heatraesadia.com/-/media/themes/heatrae/literature/installation-manuals/advance-plus-installation-manual.pdf?v=1&d=20180209T132353Z
  3. I would say yes, to both.
  4. Where.... Thats brilliant! .... what are they called? Possibly OCD rather than LAP maybe.
  5. I have 1 unswitched socket. I hate it with a vengeance. And if you have ever had a plug stuck in a socket, being able to switch the thing off is a comfort.
  6. Welcome. We like things that are a bit different. Do you collect usage data on all your kit?
  7. Technical or a talking one? What sort?
  8. I was in St. Just yesterday, I am sure that Bab's Cabs is there.
  9. Just sent him a message.
  10. I know a guy, but not sure if he will do your area. Shall ask him if I see him tonight.
  11. Not sure what a plug in system is, there used to be a wind turbine that plugged into a suitable ringmain in a house, but they were a disaster. All PV systems work the same. A module to catch the sun's photons, an inverter to condition the electricity, and a load. It is the load that is the tricky part, but you do have control of that. First thing to find out is if you have unnecessary loads running i.e an old desktop computer in 24/7. Then see if you can reduce load i.e raise fridge and freezer temps a little bit. Then look at your lifestyle and decide if you can use more electrical load between 10AM and 2PM. This assumes a Southern facing module array, East or West of South and you start earlier or later. Then look at your water heating. If you have instantaneous water heating i.e a gas combi or an electrical shower, then you cannot store excess solar without changing the system to one with a storage cylinder. Then remember there is a difference between power and energy. First us kW and second in kWh.
  12. Easy then. Air2Air HP and an exhaust HP for the water. Could fit most of it under the chassis.
  13. I tried an apple turnover on the prom. No luck tonight, must be because the tide is in.
  14. No need to saddle sniff, Newly is close.
  15. Just got asked by a cute girl on a bike to take a picture of her. With a film camera. (expletive deleted)ing hipsters.
  16. A good Cornish girl will do that as well, for a mear fairing. But the I knew a Somerset woman that was available for a packet of Hob Nobs. So may be it is universal currency. Going to sit on the prom with a packet of cream crackers and see how I get on.
  17. As in a real one with wheels. Not a Scotch one that can be twice the size of my house. When I was a student, I rented a caravan and that had a vented system in it. Boiled over once, just got moved to another empty van. There where hundreds of them.
  18. We invented technology. Wireless, telephony, radar tracking, high pressure steam, pasty, missile guidence, safety lamps, oxygen, surfing, rebranding pilchards to sardines, Fleetwood Mac, Kristin Scott Thomas and seagulls. And cute blonde Celts and want to meet people that they are not related to. What has Bristol invented, apart from slavery, obesity and diabetes.
  19. As always, I would go for a vented system. But just for hand and dishes, it is hardly worth it. Boil a kettle.
  20. By the police as I think it is a criminal offence. I did out a post up a few years back to the legislation. Starting point. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/d7-waste-exemption-burning-waste-in-the-open
  21. It is illegal to burn treated timber. Ignorance is no defence.
  22. That is better looking. Last two day I have been using 8 kWh/day, which is a bit higher than I like, but was washing days.
  23. If you look at your charts, it seems to be a series of regular spikes. More normal to have a small load, a few watts, then an up lift to say 3kW. Irregular spikes are usually things like a kettle or vacuum cleaner. An ASHP would pull about a kW to 2 kW for a decent amount of time i.e not short cycling.
  24. Good start. Just got to find out what the other spikes are now. I would expect the UFH and DHW to run for an hour or so at a time.
