How can both be activated at once Dave?

Thanks Jack. I have read through the controller manual a few times and I think it is in there but no mention of what to do with the cooling terminal as you say it is a means of connecting thermostat to heat pump for cooling purposes

Search maps historically for your area, it may show up what it used to be like

I was thinking that I would not need that function of the heat pump controlling the immersion heater so may just put the cable in place between the isol switch/heat pump and immersion heater just in case and do as you say and wait for the PV diverter to feed the immersion. I notice that the heat pump can be used to cool but not sure how to do this? I think it is via the controller but I notice there is a terminal in the wiring centre marked cool so how do I go about this please?

So trying to understand the way the heat pump works and future proofing for solar PV what would I need to take into account so I can make use of the PV to let the immersion heat the HW instead of the heat pump? I need to make sure that the way the system is wired will be compatible with solar PV when we fit it next year please?

That would make sense Dave as there are four of them to match my four terminals and with that notched end it looks like they are made to join up. I wonder if they to allow for a larger duct size to fit onto the unit? Will have a look tomorrow and let you know. Thanks

I missed that so thanks for the clarification. My unit also has heater back up heater built into it. The waterproof isolation switch has four terminals and my unit is the 9kw standard and not the TCAP so it is saying I only need a 2.5mm for the main supply and a 1.5mm for the second supply so I have plenty of 4mm cable left so would it be ok to run a 4mm supply from the CU to w/proof isol and then run a 2.5mm and a 1.5mm from the isol switch to the heat pump and then back to the wiring centre? TIA

Anyone got any ideas please? I know quite a few have the vent axia sentinel mvhr fitted and just wondered what these are for as I need to get it into position tomorrow? I know they are not transit packaging as all four pieces are laid on top the unit when I opened it. TIA

Thanks Dave for the reply. Just to clarify I would put a 4mm from the CU to the waterproof isolator and then run cables back to the wiring centre and then put in some fused spurs so I can isolate the thermostat and immersion heater? You mention the immersion heater and 2.5mm/1.5mm cable but is the power for the immersion coming from the heat pump main supply or elsewhere?

Can anyone of our electricians @ProDave please explain how this wiring diagram will work on my Panasonic 9kw Aquarea heat pump?Secon Panasonic H Series rev1.3.pdf I understand that the heat pump will require its own supply from the CU but I am a little unsure as to what cables to put in ready for my sparky mate to connect everything up. I think I need to run some 1.5mm flex to run the heat pump ,diverter valve and controls etc but not sure if the power supply for this is fed from the heat pump supply via some fused spurs or if the heating controls are fed from a different source to the main heat pump supply? I understand it would be ideal to have one isolator for the whole heat pump and assoc controls but just a little confused? The heat pump itself has a back up heater for DHW so this is also confusing me as it shows connections for the immersion heater in the drawings but I assume this is the one on my HW cylinder so not sure if the feed for the immersion heater should come via the main heat pump supply? I am just trying to get all my cables in place ( so I can plaster some ceilings ) plus some spare ready for when my sparky is available to connect it all up next month so we can get moved in before xmas and I still have plenty to do! Hope you can help me understand this? TIA

We have four pieces of foam with our Vent Axia sentinel and there are no instructions as to what they are for. I assume they are to be fitted on the back of the unit for sound deadening although the gap to the rear of the unit is greater than the foam? TIA

We have Gaggenau but have not used it yet but went to a cookery demo and the food was amazing. Hoping to use our oven soon as we expect to be in before xmas ( I told my wife we would be in for xmas but just not which xmas!)

Hello, obviously a glutton for punishment?

If I was to write about our build it would read something like your description. Keep on plugging away and one day the past will all be forgotten. House looks great by the way!!

I am exactly the same and the amount of money I have saved is amazing but also the pride of knowing I have done the vast majority of it myself.

We have exactly the same setup, have not tested it yet as not moved in! ( hopefully before xmas)

Internorm makes a few people twitch on here!

I forgot to say not only is it a sloping, wavy line it needs an angle at the back as it is going against a sloping ceiling

Not wanting to hijack this thread but I have multipanel to fit and wondered what you used to cut it? I have to fit some in an old cottage and the ceiling needs scribing to ensure it looks neat, it is 15mm out over 1 metre and a bit wavy!! TIA

I used a shadow gap trim to finish the plasterboard/door casing junction. What I did not allow for is the depth of the concealed hinges and position of them in relation to the shadow gap. It is not a massive error in the grand scheme of things as most of the hinges are on the hidden side of the door. It just means I will have to make an mdf trim, 12mm wide with a rebate underneath to cover the hinge body and when painted will look fine.

Will post some pictures tomorrow because I have had an oops in detailing

Nice way to watch and eat my dinner. Great job, looks lovely

Just an update on the concealed hinges. Took some working out to avoid any costly mishaps but got going now. I have used the Ceam hinges and they do feel quality. Just another 40 hinges to do!j

Under armpits or down the pants is another option (if your desperate)

We have used granite to cut down on maintenance. If you contact your local merchant they have off cuts which are usually a lot cheaper and work out quite good value
