Log burner underfloor air feed?
Dibt tested stoves are the gold standard. They've self closing doors, the doors are tested to seal after thousands of openings etc. Remember that you do NOT have to use a HETAS installer, your BCO can sign it off. It's not difficult to balance the MVHR to bring the house to positive pressure. Elsewhere in Europe room pressure monitoring is used to guarantee this/ alarm in case of issues as far as I recall from my research a while back.

ASHP vs GSHP
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.

LPS visit request
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?...

price increases.. where do they end
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.

Combined speaker and LED downlight
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.

ASHP technical query
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.

Kingspan heating (or lack of) issue

SolarEdge ot Not?
If you exported that much, how much electric did you *use*?

SolarEdge ot Not?
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.
