I am a ten-years-retired audio technician and am making improvements to house to be more sustainable. Underfloor Q-Bot insulation, increased loft insulation, all windows and doors double glazed and now have a ‘C’ rating for the EPC. Currently waiting on G99 approval from DNO to have 8.715 kWp solar pv with Powerwall storage and Gateway. Have had surveys carried out by certified installers and am awaiting an installation of a Daikin ASHP.
Please report back Bonner when they are fitted and (hopefully) doing the job. SteamyTea and markc, thank you for that - don’t want no resonances not nowhere, not no how, not never!
Regards, Mike
I know just what you mean markc, I used to have an account with them but only used them for speed or convenience usually. I am wondering whether using the anti-vibration blocks to stand the ASHP on could be supplemented with isolation for the brackets from the wall by interposing a/v mounts here too; I am not sure whether the lateral loading could be handled by any design of isolator. Usually the damping is applied by compression of the rubber block in a downward direction - hanging bracket loading would be very different.

Thank you SteamyTea; Octopus Energy are my preferred MCS registered installers and they are holding fire on ‘working at heights’ installations at present but will supply me with a full report in due course when they are ready to proceed. Large loops in flexible hoses will be used you can be sure. I am just being cautious about the vibration aspect (must be my background in acoustics:-) ) The house is close to the A3290(M) and ambient noise is very unlikely to be a problem as the traffic will easily be 20dB above any sound emanating from the pump (sigh) so my only concern is vibration.

Mike
Hello, I hope to have a Daikin EDLQ 07 CV3 Monobloc installed on wall brackets at first floor height on a cavity (filled) wall at back of house. My concern is whether vibration transference is likely to be a problem. I have read that anti vibration mounts may be used and I would like to hear from anyone who has experience of fitting / using these devices, which type and how effective they are please.
