certainly in scotland you cannot build a new house with less than off road 2.5 parking spaces -- so not a problem for new builds

if you have the space then above ground black ones and make a fence aorund them or plant things to hide them --could be a litle hideaway area in the garden if set out in a horseshoe shape

as in if you need to run raditoars as well on big old house and or large volumes of dhw your ashp is not good at getting hig temps for DHW

you have an AAV on system --to bleed out any air?

you need to change the costs to uk prices and it could end up better but 38% better than ASHp --your getting greedy now .LOl and you can have real hot water .Idid see inoen of thier downloads you can run the ufh water down to 20c -- that would give some more savings proably in a well insulated house maybe

you know what happened to shumacher !! take up horses thats even more dnagerous and expensive so if no kids who is going to benifit from your demise.-- If no one then you will should read "being of sound body and mind -- I spent the lot and the tax can have the debts" LOL

sounds like if it was in a box it could a wee biusness for you

thats a question for your tax and investment advisor -- you could ,if you trust your kids gift it to them 7years before you die , and then pay them rent --on paper ,which could become an oustanding debt on you demise,which will come out of your hertiable assests even worse in scotland ,you cannot cut bad kids out of your will 30% of your hertiable assets have to be split equally between your off spring --no way round that as i understand it you can only mitigate it not get rid of it totally talk to a professional --well worth the fee in the long run the simple solution is spend it all an get in debt .LOL they can,t it if you don,t have it my situation is complicated and I have had to write. will , a sort of a trust , that puts my assets into partners nameto use as she thinkks fit -- and only when she dies do her kids get a chance to get my assests and only then the bad ones get sod all --who knows they could change the law again by then and it may not work

I,m sure someone will come along to help --pictures of manifold might be helpful-- maybe your air lock is caused by pipe runs ?

interesting alternative to ASHP they claim its cheaper to run than electric only + it can provide real hot water at 65-70c with no penalty . maybe good choice for old big house where you need rads as well as UFH and lots of bath rooms http://www.roburheatpumps.co.uk/products/heating-only/robur-k18-mini-air-source/ http://www.roburheatpumps.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Robur-K18-brochure.pdf whats your thoughts guys ?

they would get used to it,juts like that sit under road bridges or live in harbours and yes you would need ot factor inthe wigfht of the tnak --thats looks aobur 300kg anyway

could velox agent not suggest someone to use who built with it before? have you run your plans by velox ? to make sure what you are doing is the right way

are there any cellars below you ceiling height ? and does it period doors skirtings etc picces of insdie as well will help do you have mains gas

if yuo want boiled fish LOL

thats normal in the S/E of england anyway .LOL

i think you will find that alot of tropical fish will happily live with low 20,s if accustomed to it --leave the bag they come in in tank for 24 hrs before letting them out --but leave top undone or they will not get air

you might not even need heater in it if it was a modern house?

for others it shows how important a proper itemised quote and signed supply contract is

i think he is really asking the question so he can save money on build costs . If it were me --i would at least fit UFH piping in the floor as its very cheap at build stage to do -, maybe you can balance cost of heat pump etc with more expensive running cost of simple panel heaters? fiiting pipes in floor at build stage leaves you options later

why would a smaller unit work better at low light and what happens in summer when the panels are making 20% more than the invertor is rated for? more like they never expect you to get full power from the panels ,so saving them money please enlighten me

so you have no signed contract from them where you agreed to the work and the price?

so you have an offical sales contract itemising these parts with a fitted price which you signed ? and no clauses in the contract about other chargable items no signed contract --and you got problems --he said -she said --and if it goes to court they will only look at paperwork to make the decision

I would consider the "roof access equipment" to icclude any scaffolding required to complete the job

Is this amount above and beyond the quotation /sales contract you signed and returned to them ? if so your good If the price is what you signed for --you just got to suck it up- sounds like a simple contract law problem you should have copy of what you signed and what the job entailed

how can they quote to a building that is not there and not even a plan of it drawn on your map,or where you want the meter to be either on the new house or to a meter house they can only quote to a termination in a building or a meter house--also cable will be twice as long going to your X --so until they know exactly they cannot spec a cable or anything else on my plan 4 is where it will enter house 3 from that point on it must be ducted under any hard standing to point 4
