My ashp keeps cutting out saying there's a flow error but only when the hot water tank needs heat. If its calling for heat,for the ufh or rads upstairs it works fine?

Hi my air source heat pump is switching off with a flow error , but only when it needs to get the hot water tank to temp. If its calling for heat for the ufh it works fine? Any ideas 💡

Looking to put a 2m by 2m upvc conservatory. Probably thinking floor to hight upvc. Instead if a small brick wall. Has anyone got any tip, rough prices and firms to get quotes off. And firms to avoid!!

Sounds like the way Togo. Are there any makes to stay away from. The price difference between stoves are massive. Will one at £500 do the job a £1500 will do.

Fair enough. But abit too tenicnal for me to set up!!. My plan now is to put a wood burner in. I have plenty supply if free wood. And then turn the heating off or have it very low say 15°c. Then all the ashp has to worry about is keeping water hot

It does have a circulation pump. Just can't understand there reasoning for the sake of a few £100s why not fit one?. Its a reputable company. I was talking to my local plumber and he did say there stuff is good quality.

How would a blending value help. You would if thought the ashp company would of fit one?

Few more manifold pics

I don't think I can. Is my system not the best!

Our manifold

What should the flow temp be. Is mine in the right area?

20% more is alot. We do have young kids and they have bath's. Do you know your EPC for the barn conversion. My wife will use part baking. The fourm here thought anywhere between 1500 to 2000kw.

It's says in the mannual circulation water temp? If that's not it I don't how to find flow temp

Looking at my ashp. I would say flow temp is around 30°c. That's what the circulation pump says. If that's not it how do find flow temp?

So when they say ashp are super efficient cop values 3 and up. Only if its not super cold outside. Our house regularly drops below 0 in winter. As I've said earlier in this chat, with whats to come with the price caps, the ecomics of a ashp isn't adding up! But I'm stuck with it now and like everyone else will have to find ways to use less and cut costs

All I know is we can use alot of electricity if everything is on. Over 1000kw a month. That's why I'm thinking of ashp for hot water. Stoves for warmth down stairs. We already have alittle wood burner in living room. Looking for a 5kw for kitchen. It's a fairly high roof open plan room. Ashp always has to work hard to get that room upto temp

That's not too bad. We have to young kids so they have baths. Even if we used double this a week say roughly 300kw in winter months. Would definitely think a stove is a viable option

Does anyone have a rough idea what the ashp will use in winter just for the hot water. I'm think of having central heating off or very low. And install multi fuel stove. Will the ashp use alot less just heating water tank upto say 45°c. I know we really need proper figures, but anyone a rough idea?

Looking to fit 5kw plus multi fuel burner in. Any make set up better than others

Hi. Due to some consideration I'm not going to rip the ashp out!! I have 6kw solar on the roof. So I'm looking 5kw to mybe 6kw in the field, a solar array? Anybody got any tips or ideas. Looking to generate more kW. To try and cover some ashp usage

Here is a few pics of my set up.

Here's a snap shot of my pv price

I will take pictures when home. I think I'm getting mixed up with my hot water setting. Not flow temp. Is agile octopus. So get paid fir the market rate. The joules tank is 300ltr

Just got my first payment through for July from the solar pannels. They have paid me 24.5p a kW for 511 kw exported. That's £124. I don't think that's too bad. Mybe more pv could the answer
