We'll see, the NIBE installers are next door but from what I can see, the other ASHP is doing the same 3 minutes on 5 minutes off. That's 22.5 minutes of every hour that the compressor is running. In Summer.............

Probably!! What concerns me is the number of cycles as mentioned above and the electricity use. The manufacturer NIBE is coming at some point so if there is a mess they should be able to find it and say so. another thing the plumber insisted was to turn the immersion heater on. Obviously if there's a fault with the actual compressor, the immersion heater is only going to hide it by using a ton of electricity to heat the water instead of using the heat pump.

Apparently one of the pipes was clogged with antifreezer. We now have hot water but on the unit is still short cycling to 2.5 minutes every 5 minutes. Definitely not energy efficient not to mention excessive wear and tear.

Let’s highlight what I mean

Hi I recently completed a new build. I got LVT flooring throughout. We viewed the demo home and decided to go for the same flooring, it was like natural wood patterns. Now in our new home all the panels seem to have some indentations or grooves that make me regret my choice to be honest. I didn’t notice this in the show home. Is this normal or did we get damaged panels? I notice two things. Indentations. And then the entire panels seems swollen? Or is just me ???! cheers

Thanks. The plumbers are coming in. in just a few weeks since installation the pump has had close to 18,000 cycles, I assume every 3 minutes. ive turned it off for now as it was also giving out high pressure alarms a couple of times a day. yeetrrday it went haywire while checking hot water in the kitchen. Running hot water for a 3 minutes caused the radiators to heat up!!! And then the ASHP controller switched to heating. Even through the climate temp was set to 10°C! i think someone seriously messed up the installation !

So. Fast forward to July and have finally purchased the house. the insulation and air tightness seems excellent. But I’m still waiting for confirmation from inspection I’m having all sorts of issues with the ASHP. In normal operation the heat pump seems to be cycling as follows: 3 minutes off 2 minutes on. All the freaking time. is this normal operation? the house is empty and it seems it has used close to 30 kWh in just over 4 days. With just the fridge, and the BT router on. is this pump a dud or has thrrrr been a serious problem with the installation???

Hi all I’m purchasing a new build and the developers are installing an ashp central heating system. I have a ton of questions but first let’s describe the house and the system 1) 3 storey 4 bedroom semi town house 2) NIBE F2040 system (unsure as of yet what output they are installing) 3) water tank and control system in first floor. 4) low temperature radiators throughout the house, but no underfloor heating 5) house is a single heating zone 6) thermostat in ground floor, all radiators have TRVs what are your initial thoughts on this installation? i thought I’d ask first, before commenting on my own concerns. disclaimer, I’m not a professional at all, but I’m a scientist and like to understand the engineering aspects of these systems. cheers.

Hi I'm here as I have a ton of questions about a new build! I’m also quite keen on renewable energy so I hope to pick some brains along the way. cheers. joe
