Your account will almost certainly be transferred to one of the Big 5 suppliers. Once that is done you can change supplier again. Takes a few weeks to sort it all out. In the mean time, start taking weekly meter readings just in case you have problems. Looks like EDF are dealing with it. https://www.edfenergy.com/content/welcoming-green-network-energy-customers If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Best UVC for ASHP and solar PV divert
SteamyTea replied to Bramco's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
That will be 4 kWh/day if it looses, on average 168W. That is £45/year at 3p/kWh. (168W/day is 168J/s/day. A day is 86400s, so that would be 0.00194J)- 8 replies

You not read Zoots tales of woe and incompetence then. Though personally I think his system is fine, just needs turning on for more than a few minutes.

Because I fitted it. -
He may be able to get a system fitted for free, like Zoot did.

Generally LPG is more expensive than oil. And you can be locked into a single supplier. But has he considered an ASHP?

It is a bathroom, not a £20million commissioned painting. A bathroom, where ones shits, showers and shaves. -

My old IH used to pulse noticeably, the new one does not, even though it is pulsing. All I can put it down to is the old one had a temperature sensor. This is going to be affected by the thermal properties of the ceramic hob and the pots and pans. Have a look in the manual and see if it can be set to a predetermined temperature, rather than just power. Makes no difference to the quality of my cooking.

Why stop at IR heating, why not Far Infra Red heating. It warms your bones up.

ASHP installed together with existing heating system
SteamyTea replied to Bruno's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
I added insulation around my cylinder, saved a couple of kWh a day. Though if you spread the showering out over that day, the HP can recharge it. If you take the showers at about the same time, there is no need to recharge until a bit before it is needed again i.e. early morning. Teach everyone to take shorter showers and the problems go away. I got my lodger to go from 25 minute to 4 minutes, or 275 litres to 44 litres. She smelt the same. -

SteamyTea replied to Bruno's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
You are not going to shower in water any hotter than 42⁰C. Just make sure the effective volume stored is large enough. -
Phosphate dosing works to a degree.

I questioned MBC at the self build show about this. Guy said it was to do with the staggered studs, and something else I cannot remember.

Heating required
SteamyTea replied to stubiff's topic in Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)
Just take the modelled contribution from the MVHR away from the modelled contribution of the main heating system. If ASHP, then up the capacity to the next available size that is 30% of so oversized. -
Interesting. Yes, no good for me.
