Windows delivered - wrong internal finish/colour
JohnMo replied to AppleDown's topic in Windows & Glazing
Did you pay additional money for the two finishes, one colour inside and out, requires no masking up, so is easy. A different finish inside and out costs due to the additional time needed. We had to pay quite a premium to get two different finishes inside and out. -
Not sure any, especially an externally controller, would be able do anything graceful, with a boiler and heating system mismatch. They should effectively act, the same way as if you have increased, the radiator a size, they will force heat transfer. Would imagine increased gas consumption and cycling are closely related. Would agree I wonder if you would actually use less gas consumption, by making the boiler run harder. So not opentherm, but run on/off thermostat at around 0.5 to 1.0 hysteresis. Then fiddle with flow temp to get boiler to run the whole call for heat period. But don't run any large setbacks so effectively run 24/7. Then modify your system as needed to work well. Then bring OT back online. Can you or have you range rated the boiler output down?

Mine come from the GRC Aquatech, they are local to us and do the service each year and supply the parts, price was pickup on the parts list of the supplied parts on the invoice.

I just used my thumb, break staples off the strip and just push them in to the insulation. Just as quick

Looks like the party is over....

Remove the underlined but, I think you have hit the nail on the head. -
Yes And use these each month - stops smells from vent, their other products are quite good also https://www.muck-munchers.co.uk/

Take the actuators off on the not working loops, does the flow meter move down (the red lines). Removing actuator opens loop, regardless of call for heat. If this resolves issue you have an issue with electrics. If nothing changes you have an issue with air in the system, get the plumber back to bleed the loops. Takes all the junk off the UFH loop pipes. Look to box in, so they don't get damaged.

A little, or a lot depending on flow rates, if your at 20L/min and below very little, higher rates a bigger and bigger influence - if you have UFH you can do this at the manifold anyway. So wouldn't bother, unless you have a good reason.

PV and battery are separate to heating requirements, so not really relevant to question asked. There are some requirements for an ASHP often over looked and that is defrost - UK is pretty bad for it depending on exact location. Inland being better than coastal or near a big body of water. So generally it wise to oversize for the typical -3 design in the UK. Second is DHW generation, a small heat pump at design temp can take a while to heat a big cylinder as in a couple of hours. So you are better to look at a 6kW heat pump but make sure it has good modulation so it runs well for long periods of times for best CoP. The heat calculation, needs your ventilation system air changes per hour I would assume 0.5 to 0.3, and with MVHR efficiency circa 85 to 90%. You need to find average temp in your area for the monthly heating needs. You need window and door sizes, general roof, floor and wall areas and thats about it, with U values

Aren't both likely to change at the same, everyone with an EV charging at the same time, lo tariff becomes a high tariff period. You can't use one as justification and not the other etc. Not sure you would charge your house battery to then dump into your car. Then 5 mins later end up with a flat home battery. Some require it for anything other than basic functions. Some require for warranty, if control is from china who knows what will happen.

Or more complete cut and paste is Kilogram Definition: A kilogram (symbol: kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It is currently defined based on the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant, h, which is equal to 6.62607015 × 10-34 in the units of J·s, or kg·m2·s-1. The meter and the second are defined in terms of c, the speed of light, and cesium frequency, ΔνCs. Even though the definition of the kilogram was changed in 2019, the actual size of the unit remained the same. The changes were intended to improve the definitions of SI base units, not to actually change how the units are used throughout the world. History/origin: The name kilogram was derived from the French "kilogramme," which in turn came from adding Greek terminology meaning "a thousand," before the Late Latin term "gramma" meaning "a small weight." Unlike the other SI base units, the kilogram is the only SI base unit with an SI prefix. SI is a system based on the meter-kilogram-second system of units rather than a centimeter-gram-second system. This is at least in part due to the inconsistencies and lack of coherence that can arise through use of centimeter-gram-second systems, such as those between the systems of electrostatic and electromagnetic units. The kilogram was originally defined as the mass of one liter of water at its freezing point in 1794, but was eventually re-defined, since measuring the mass of a volume of water was imprecise and cumbersome. A new definition of the kilogram was introduced in 2019 based on Planck's constant and changes to the definition of the second. Prior to the current definition, the kilogram was defined as being equal to the mass of a physical prototype, a cylinder made of a platinum-iridium alloy, which was an imperfect measure. This is evidenced by the fact that the mass of the original prototype for the kilogram now weighs 50 micrograms less than other copies of the standard kilogram. Current use: As a base unit of SI, the kilogram is used globally in nearly all fields and applications, with the exception of countries like the United States, where the kilogram is used in many areas, at least to some extent (such as science, industry, government, and the military) but typically not in everyday applications. Pound Definition: A pound (symbol: lb) is a unit of mass used in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. The international avoirdupois pound (the common pound used today) is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. The avoirdupois pound is equivalent to 16 avoirdupois ounces. History/origin: The pound descended from the Roman libra, and numerous different definitions of the pound were used throughout history prior to the international avoirdupois pound that is widely used today. The avoirdupois system is a system that was commonly used in the 13th century. It was updated to its current form in 1959. It is a system that was based on a physical standardized pound that used a prototype weight. This prototype weight could be divided into 16 ounces, a number that had three even divisors (8, 4, 2). This convenience could be the reason that the system was more popular than other systems of the time that used 10, 12, or 15 subdivisions. Current use: The pound as a unit of weight is widely used in the United States, often for measuring body weight. Many versions of the pound existed in the past in the United Kingdom (UK), and although the UK largely uses the International System of Units, pounds are still used within certain contexts, such as labelling of packaged foods (by law the metric values must also be displayed). The UK also often uses both pounds and stones when describing body weight, where a stone is comprised of 14 pounds.
