Invoicing someone else for work other than the property owner
nod replied to Swood92's topic in Costing & Estimating
Just invoice the person that’s paying you Weather Third party or nor won’t make any difference as to weather the building qualifies for 5% In any case You will need documentation showing a reduced rate Or you will need to charge your normal rate -
We’ve had quite few surveys on here I loose interest when they ask the household income 😂

ASHP - our architect negative about them
nod replied to Wadrian's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
We’ve separate pump As I say it doesn’t really matter to us I think that if you are running Rads You would simply treat them like UFH and leave them on and set a thermostat to the desired temp -

It’s undeniable that GS running cost will be lower But you need to factor in the installation costs also and if your paying around £1500 per year in energy costs It will take a while -

We are in Woodplumpton near Preston if you ever fancy a visit And just finishing our second build I would say he’s half right Our Mitsubishi is noisier than the day it was installed But not near enough to bother anyone We have UFH to the GF and there is no difference between our previous build (Gas boiler) and this one We never used the Rads in the bedrooms on our previous and are unlikely to do so in this one But the radiators only run at 40 so don’t get hot like Rads on a gas system 60 I think So well suited to UFH A lot of the negative press is due to HPs being sold as a way of reducing bills While electricity is nearly four times the cost of gas They will remain more expensive to run Or in our case Very similar -
