    I've some experience of Haier as they move into commercial and lab refrigeration and thus far it aint bad...
  2. dpmiller
    it's not the most economical to run I've seen.
  3. dpmiller
    how much height do you need/ what kind of screed depth are you at?

    why get a plumber to do the guttering and flashing? How are they welding the copper pipes?
  6. dpmiller
    150 PIR would be equivalent, no?

    Local HETAS installer/dealer flat-out refused to talk to me about anything less than a Dibt-approved unit if MVHR was involved.
  8. dpmiller
    Oooh that is pretty.

    I'd opine that it depends on the size of the development. Locally, most recent builds in the 2-20 property region are TF; bigger estates seem more likely to be block.
  10. dpmiller
    Oddly enough, NONE of the TF companies I approached were willing to offer an inclusive package inc. internal woodwork etc. Some would agree to offer options on external openings, PB, insulation packages and a couple would be happy to contract any and all porrtions of the complete build, but all started with an erected frame of varying spec.

    there's a BIG difference between getting some blokey with a Jekub to price digging some trenches, and what might end up needing to be done. And yes, ther's no reason why a TF base need be any more complex than block; you need block up to FFL anyway.

    Isn't that just a fancy name for a coolbox pack?

    Looks rather like UFH perimeter insulation...

    Did Gill visit any time diring setting the drains? Might be handier just asking him what he wants to see...

    Based on the amount of time each machine would be used for, I wonder whether a reasonable (3t?) digger with pallet forks might be the job for us.

    I seem to see them more in developments than single builds, along with McCavana and Unique. I don't think any are "worse" than any one else but the devil is very much in the detail. Do try Leadon for a price- don't be put off by the out-of-date website, they're a very progressive company with a very cost-effective closed-panel 0.15 wall. Kieran is a true gent to deal with. He's certainly our choice for when the time comes...

    Batten out for a service void- what depth are the downlights?
  18. dpmiller
    I use http://selectspecs.com/ They're a B&M opticians but their lab is in the far East I believe. For a tenner a pair, try ordering a pair with an ADD about 1D less (say, half the figure) than your normal reading one.
  19. dpmiller
    Also worth looking this side of the Irish Sea- Leadon, Kilbroney, Kudos, QTF etc

    See also my comment on Hager above.
  21. dpmiller
    I'm going with the Hager Sollysta. Smooth and slim, and the neutral terminal on the lightswitches is darned handy. /interesting fact- the switch is held onto the faceplate by two small screws, but when removed the switch is identical to their gridswitches...

    try... up and on/off together for 5 secs. press superfreeze twice.
  23. dpmiller
    Ah but GSDs (and some other large breeds) have this habit of letting the stranger in, but not out again (in one piece....)
  24. dpmiller
    A nice bacon and sausage bap courtesy of the chaps at HF and a bit of time looking at the HeatStream. It's a very neat unit. Rep had a 150l with him as it sits nicely in the car... Images on the website aren't completely accurate, all the coils are convoluted SS, similar to TracPipe or the like, so great surface area. Full height coil for DHW, main indirect coil in the bottom third of the tank, and then the second and third coils are above it. Top immersion is long (23") so well into the body of water, and a doddle to replace if ever necessary. No calcs yet on the characteristics of the coils, he'll revert with those. Expect the larger and triple coil units to arrive in Q4.
  25. dpmiller
    Not yet available. I'll ask him for a timeframe tomorrow as a 400l triple would seem well-suited to us assuming you could pull about 6kW out for UFH. Looking at the recovery times (which are conservative apparently) the coils must be in the 25kw range?
