  1. the humidity threshold for the internal sensor should be adjustable in the menu.
  2. I had a "play" with the cooling mode on our unit a couple of days ago. A couple of button presses enabled it, and it happily chilled down to a flow temp of 12c shedding loads of heat outside.
  3. that's another one of those UK sites that's only GB then?
  4. minidigger with stone rake?
  5. think they're all electronic? Pressing it latches a relay in most likely.
  6. just to put this to bed for now, rang the surveyor earlier and he confirmed that the letter is only a fishing expedition. They're only interested in surveying completed properties and so has flagged us for a recall in 6 months or so.
  7. what did you do before matting @nod
  8. But is there not a difference in that in GB council tax is collected by the council itself, whereas here the LPS is divorced here and could unwittingly do "something" without any council input?
  9. Just received a letter from the LPS today stating they would be having a surveyor out on Wednesday to measure and photograph the house for valuation purposes. As the house is incomplete and uninhabitable, do I cancel or put off the visit? Does the visit trigger anything in rates terms or is it purely for their records? Or is it an even better idea to let them survey it now unfinished, and with no garage yet built?...
  10. Boris certainly seems to be cutting NI adrift bit by bit, so I can't see him having any care for Scotland or Wales either.
  11. got a cheapy flat round LED panel from B&Q on clearance with bluetooth speaker. £15, sounds great, colour temp matches the other lights in the bathroom.
  12. we build with check reveals over here, so "from the inside" is SOP for the DG fitters.
  13. that's a standard item round these parts http://www.carryduffbuildingsupplies.com/products/details/category/Precast-Products-30/Pillar-Caps-76 https://www.samuelkirk.co.uk/pillar-cap-22in-550mm-7794-p.asp
  14. no local precasts the right size?
  15. don't they have a string of thermistors down the middle, or am I imagining reading that?
  16. yes, my 9.5kW inverter unit modulates just like a gas boiler and can consume anything from 600W to 3kW. The fan and pump are variable speed as well as the compressor.
  17. never minding what the flow switch is saying, are you sure there's enough actual flow?
  18. If you exported that much, how much electric did you *use*?
  19. I went with Hoymiles microinverters- duals because of our configuration. They're very efficient, daisy-chain together for easy cabling, and have per-panel MPPT. This works very well, you can see shading passing across individual panels in the monitoring software.
  20. clad each face with J-section UPVC fascia?
  21. UPVC single pane with georgian bars?
  22. the back of his house looks like an extension to me
  23. so what drawings are provided to the BCO?
