  1. I am with Octopus. GB Green and cosy. 17.47p/kw unit rate and 19.95p/day standing charge. that seem a good tariff to be on. I will look at WC.
  2. Yes new pipe work.
  3. I have no history of lpg cost in this house as we have only been in it for a short Yes all radiators were swapped, Radiators keep the house warm, No underfloor, PV no illusions that i will get anything out of it for the winter months. We have only been in this house for a short time and we have no history of running cost with Lpg. although the short time we used Lpg last winter suggested it would get very expensive for the year. We have a 5kw log burner which we also use this is enclosed in a huge Stone fireplace that absorbs a lot of heat. for instance next morning after the fire has gone out the fireplace is still at 23/26 degrees. As I said all the interior walls of the exterior walls have been clad with 63mm closed cell insulation and the house itself is pretty tight.
  4. Yes I have the same white controller. what settings do you suggest change and how?
  5. Rads , onto thermostat. Got weather compensation. It's a grant airflow 17 5 kw. Has to be oversize. Going through instructions. Hw. Set at 60c by installers, now set at 50c Working through other manuals. I don't connect very well with written instruction, never have. Prefer to see someone do it then it falls into place forever.
  6. Hi from Reay in the Highland, Our house faces due north, and about as far North as you can get and facing the sea. Next stop the North Pole. We have lived here now for about 18 months. In December 23 I applied for a Local wind farm grant and got a 70% discount on my proposed installation. I January we had installed 5.5Kws oF PV. on the roof feeding a 6KW Hybrid inverter. I then in April I Installed 23.2KW of solar batteries. This worked very well over summer no electricity bills and account getting export credit of £20/£30 per month. In April I applied for a totally free Government funded Heat pump installation and after two on site surveys and jumping through many bureaucratic hoops we were accepted into the scheme. it was all fitted in May. long story short, all interior of exterior walls were clad with 63mm closed cell installation, Totally new Central heating system installed and a 17.5kw "Grant" heat pump installed. Gas boiler Removed. Installation process is another story and not for the faint hearted. Since the heating period kicked in my export credits have crashed and this month I expect to pay for some electricity. My problem is I am totally confused how to control the Heat Pump. Instructions from installers boiled down to don't touch anything and we are off, I have a feeling that the cost of running the heat pump will very very expensive despite the PV which up here will be totally ineffective from mid Nov to mid February. on the plus side the heating in the house is very good and better than the old lpg boiler we had.
