Vent axia heat recovery fault

disconnect the wired controller at the local end, and see if the unit then works. -
Mitigating Risk With Upfront Payments To Timber Frame Companies?
dpmiller replied to thefoxesmaltings's topic in Timber Frame
I was very happy with the terms we got from the small-ish TF co we dealt with. 30% deposit 10% on completion of design, to release structural drawings to BC balance on completion of erected structure with an offer from the Co to withhold an amount to cover any missing or snagged portions -
surely tho you'd need two pumps else the risk is the same?

Using a PV energy diverter to heat a hot water tank.

Immersion diverter - can these confuse the app "usage" data?
dpmiller replied to MrTWales's topic in Photovoltaics (PV)
I've been doing a bit of searching. and gleaned that the diverter in this thread is indeed the same as the CoolEnergy one, and if anyone wants to deal direct with the chinaman you can have one from the manufacturer direct. I'll not post a link but you'll find it on Aliexpress from "Runhu" and it'll cost you about £140 including shipping and vat. photo of internals The fan is a bit bigger than the iBoost's by the looks of it, and the general build is so similar that I'd opine they could be the OEM for it too, lol -
where does the lift plant go?

check the status of your local exchange- some are already closed for new copper connections and FTTP is the *only* possibility. -
is the requirement for a treatment plant log book- and ongoing sampling- not a German/ mainland European thing?

Scaffolding - what happens with the rendering?
dpmiller replied to CalvinHobbes's topic in Brick & Block
sounds like they've accidentally included hire, at those costs... -
aren't they the really sappy b*ggers that aren't recommended in a stove?

Basic glazed uPVC "french" door - what from where?
dpmiller replied to markocosic's topic in Doors & Door Frames
it's up to the fabricator to remember to insert the steel sections with any profile, I fear. -
4 bathrooms, and making sure that there is enough hot water.
dpmiller replied to Big Jimbo's topic in Other Heating Systems
I'm using a 9kW ASHP on a smallish thermal store, so we don't have a massive amount of *stored* energy until there's plenty of PV diverted to it. Nevertheless, the tank never runs cold and the heat pump will cut in and recover seamlessly. Less than an hour will recover the tank. -
@crispy_wafer what size Solido is it? I've just checked our documentation and the 6-8PE is 150kg, needing a 180cm dig, it's got a lifting eye on top and no concrete required... best practice is to steadily fill with water as you backfill, to equalise the loading although the moulded tank can take full load either way unsupported
-
not how it works. You made the assertion...
-
certainly not the cheapest in the UK. Maybe the GB part of the UK? I passed two stations yesterday here both at the same 130.9...

Our HP will happily switch itself from cooling to DHW if it needs to. Plus how long do you think you'll need to run it for to take a wee bit of extra heat out of the house? -
OT, but how much are diesel and unleaded at the mo with you?
-
I'd love to see some actual data on that, if you have it?

I'm guessing the spark meant compressor, not condenser.
