  1. As much heat (or more) will go downwards as up. Would not be very effective and cost huge amounts to run. I would save your money to spend on something else.
  2. If that's the case not really understanding why Wunda would ask to set the flow rate at 2.5 before calibration, that makes no sense. As flow meter are to be fully opened at all times. I found if there a delay to the pump starting (which is pretty standard in UFH control centres), from powering up the actuator then calibration never seems to be right. You may have to frig the the pump temporarily to be running prior to doing a recalibration. I also found it a pain to get them running right.
  3. What are you recalibrating? Are you using Salus self actuating actuators?
  4. Go on one the PV calculation websites, alter the angle and look at yield at different time of year. Will make a difference, how many percent - nor sure
  5. Amazing how fashions change. 20 years ago you pay to get rid of a wooden ceiling,. If fact I did.
  6. Because you see pics everywhere doesn't mean they comply with regs of the country you live in. If architect is warning off there will be reasons.
  7. No previous real experience except DIY New build. I did Insulation in floor, UFH pipes, all plumbing Install bathrooms MVHR Install solar panels, except electrical built internal and external walls. Internal sound proofing Parge coat walls Battened out ceiling and walls roof vcl Airtightness detailing External cladding External stone slips Facia, soffit and gutters gabion baskets Levelling floor Most the wall painting, daughter did all wood work Built wood shed and water treatment shed (all from left over bits) Didn't do, roof structure or any roof covering Roof insulation (spray foam) Windows and doors Plasterboard Taping and jointing plasterboard Second fix joinery install kitchen Gas connection or piping Commission boiler Commission PV Any electrical work Water borehole, and piping filters etc External waste water piping Laying of any flooring Build garage, but did insulate.
  8. Mine cost £300 for the electrical install. Install the panel mountings yourself. Pre run in cabling as part of first fix electrical install. When ready you and electrician install panels and connect up. Electrician completes connection of inverter, meter and isolation switches to fuse board. My installed quote for a ground mounted system with me supplying the mounting Frame was around £5500. So a couple of grand saving.
  9. Isn't there a worry in winter with the battery. Unless you have a huge array, the battery just doesn't get charged from PV, so sits flat or charged by mains?
  10. Sorry it is already an optimiser, ignore my comment.
  11. I would add a freestanding DC isolation switch otherwise you cannot isolate the inverter from the panels. And upgrade TS4 to optimisers, which should increase yield if any shading or clouds passing over.
  12. https://forum.buildhub.org.uk/topic/439-fabric-and-ventilation-heat-loss-calculator/?tab=comments#comment-4407
  13. Have you done a heat loss calc, using the spreadsheet on buildhub? If you do you will know what you heat losses are. You can then tell them they are wrong or right. Because you seem to be round in circles.
  14. Pretty much. Photos of mine in the lounge. The MVHR unit is in the plant room the other side of the wall. Pipe run approx 3m, to one nozzle on the other is about 8m. Also have one in the hall, that pipe run is also 3m. The air comes down after approx 4 to 6m depending on flow rate. So is in effect the same as having the nozzle on the other side of the room.
  15. Hi, welcome Insulation, and more insulation and remove drafts. LED bulbs, strip lights and spot lights. You may need to expand on what you currently live in, for context. Plenty of good combi boilers about. Attached is worth a read about combi boilers. Combi-SuperFlow-White-Paper-v1-2-4.pdf Canetis-SuperFlow-Product-Sheet-WE-050318.pdf
  16. Exactly, you don't want to be there when you live in Scotland.
  17. Can't see prices going up much, just availablity being an issue. Once they're bought, move on to the next thing don't look back. Procrastination will leave you at the end of the line
  18. ITS Technologies. No issues purchased a full system, including all the roof integrated stuff.
  19. If you need to do more than 3 wraps with your PTFE, your threads do not match. Check everything you have bought is compatible.
  20. Have a look at coanda effect nozzles, these will make the air travel from one side of the room to the other, so routing pipes is easier. These are what I used these for our supply nozzles. Zehnder 990326254
  21. Possibly no.2. But follow route for no.1 and tee off, rather than going under the house.
  22. Have you thought about either, dMEV or dMVHR
  23. Another plus from me for woodcrete. I used Durisol. All cuts done with reciprocating saw, but an alligator saw is better. Bracing with osb on internal and external corners and over opening. Get a structural engineer used to the material, otherwise they stuff way to much steel rebar into it. Airtightness with an internal parge coat, battens and plasterboard or wet plaster.
  24. This what Daikin say. "Our Daikin Altherma hybrid heat pump combines renewable air-to-water heat pump technology with a gas condensing boiler, to ensure the highest efficiency. Its smart programming helps to save up to 35% more energy than a traditional condensing boiler by automatically determining the most economically and energy efficient combination based on energy prices, outdoor temperatures and indoor heat capacity." The other thing is, it can operate with a cylinder or without. Some an ASHP only cannot do.
  25. I looked at my drawings and counted, then looked at lengths I had to span. Did some adding up. 15 min job.
