  1. looks like a repair done when the windows were replaced? I'd wonder if it had been over-polished, or if some of the silicone sealant had got onto it.
  2. Weird. there was never any mention of VAT on any of our NIE quotes.
  3. screws not tight enough.
  4. Ive been looking at this myself as finances will keep us at the lower end of the market... Cool Energy do have an inverter unit, but it's big (a boiler replacement unit really). I asked them if they had plans for a smaller inverter but they refused to acknowledge the need stating that there was no real efficiency saving... Hmm. Earth Save Products have a nice 11kW inverter, and Peak Energy are now branding the Lailey & Coates product, which has a nice simple-looking user interface If you're looking for a 6kW unit, I made the group aware recently of a L&C unit that's currently available at a very good price.
  5. you could socket the pcb for replaceable relays.
  6. if you can't/ don't wnat to do it, there's always the "pay a professional" option...
  7. do you eat chicken yourself?
  8. you can get kwikstage as close to the wall as you like with hop-ups.
  9. the other option (with a cost involved) is to put the funds into escrow with a solicitor, I believe.
  10. We are using Protect VC Foil Ultra. While it was supplied with the TF kit it's a brand that's common in the merchants and isn't the most expensive product out there?
  11. What size of inverter is associated with these battery packs tho?
  12. air tight, but what vapour permeability?
  13. you could always just try the spectro in B&Q. It is free after all. I've done some work on the systems in the past but don't know if the current solution displays an RGB or RAL result- but even if not you may be able to crossreference off the internal code on the swatch.
  14. Aren't most TF contracts on a phased payment plan? Ours certainly was...
  15. ...with 100 ohms in series. makes a difference...
  16. Passed the 200kWh generation mark yesterday.
  17. Thanks Jeremy, I was being stoopid there, of course the TMV will be wide open... D'oh.
  18. mount the basin a touch lower?
  19. a couple of Qs re cooling Aren't the Salus autobalancing actuators bidirectional? How do they respond to cold flow? What about the manifold's TMV, does it get manually opened or is there a bypass added?
  20. I know I've said this before but you can mix&match Hager grid modules onto their standard Sollysta faceplates.
  21. We went with a bog-standard anthracite coloured UPVC (which has a woodgrain texture outside, gloss white internally) and it's remarkable how much the profiles have changed in recent times- the glazing rubbers are just-about hidden. Perfectly happy with our choice.
  22. will the architect come and treat/paint the windows for you?
  23. Similarly was having issues with an old Byron one that had worked happily for years until someone locally got something new and wireless (jammed our weather station too...). Tried one of the chinesium Kinietic switches and it works a treat.
  24. what about using cold mains straight into a fan coil (with suitable flow/pressure control of course)?
