Why not fit a switched fused spur, standard for heating units, appliance, gives local isolation and local fusing.

I think it’s a no brainer, charge with off peak, some solar time shift consumption to cheaper energy import. all good.

Don’t think you get 100% DoD. maybe 90% which is still nearly twice as good as lead acid

Pylontech are 6000 cycles

Well it’s a nice Friday afternoon job/ infill job for someone.

Why not fit it yourself and get an f gas engineer to commission it?

Is it definitely an rcbo for a shower and not a RCD covering multiple circuits? can you post a photo, as your last most says it doesn’t happen all the time.

If you are posting concrete, use a vibrating poker in the concrete, multi tool vibrating the shutter or electric sander vibrating the shutter to ensure no air voids and to get the max strength

Crack on, build to current standards take lots of photos and tell the council nothing.

You get flow sensors for measuring volume of water, i retrofitted one to the BMS of a building I manage about 10 years ago, it straps onto the pipework and needs about a metre before and after of straight pipe to minimise turbulence, it adds the flow to the other info the BMS collects.

They need to be added to the triangular areas you mention in the first post, at least 2 in each area, high and low level

Add some retrofit weep vents, you can drill a hole and insert them into the mortar gap about £15 for 10 from Amazon.

Extract from scot gov, I added the bedrooms in as well due to kids / electronics/ trying stuff.. What you need to do Every home must now have: 1 smoke alarm in the room you spend most of the day, usually your living room 1 smoke alarm in every circulation space on each storey, such as hallways and landings 1 heat alarm in the kitchen All smoke and heat alarms should be mounted on the ceiling and be interlinked. Check the manufacturers guidance on each alarm for instructions on where the alarm should be placed. If you have a carbon-fuelled appliance, like a boiler, fire, non-electric heater or flue you must also have a carbon monoxide detector. This does not need to be linked to the fire alarms. Gas cookers and hobs do not need a carbon monoxide detector. Examples If you live in a 3 bedroom, 2 storey house you need 3 smoke alarms and one heat alarm. You may also need carbon monoxide alarms. 3 linked smoke alarms: on the upstairs landing in the downstairs hall in the living room 1 linked heat alarm in the kitchen 1 carbon monoxide alarm in any room where you have a carbon-fuelled appliance like a boiler, wood-burning fire place or flue. This does not need to be linked to the other alarms If you live in a 1 bedroom flat, you need 2 smoke alarms and 1 heat alarm. You may also need carbon monoxide alarms. 2 linked smoke alarms: in the hall in the living room 1 linked heat alarm in the kitchen 1 carbon monoxide alarm in any room where you have a carbon-fuelled appliance like a boiler, wood-burning fire place or flue. This does not need to be linked to the other alarms If you have an open plan living room and kitchen you only need to have 1 alarm in this space and it should be a heat alarm. The types of alarm you'll need There are 2 types of interlinked fire alarms that meet the new rules: sealed battery alarms – which should be tamper-proof long-life (which can be up to 10 years) batteries. You can fit these alarms yourself. mains-wired alarms - these are cheaper than tamper proof long-life battery alarms, but should be installed by a qualified electrician. These should be replaced every 10 years. Both types of alarm are interlinked by radio frequency without the need for WiFi. If the carbon monoxide alarm is battery operated, it must have a sealed battery for the duration of its lifespan, which may be up to 10 years.

Set of steps on the landing?

Maybe every heat pump should come with a 2 kw fan heater for the sub optimal days.

Octopus intelligent Go

My night rate is 4 times cheaper than the day rate

Surely that depends on the day/night tariff and the Cop

Buy a battery and time shift consumption.

Insulate the floor a bit more before putting the floor down

Afraid that’s a poor looking install.

I’m getting 7.5p per unit off peak keeping my storage heaters toasty!

Well you can use a 110mm drain pipe with lime chips for a condensate drain for a gas boiler so don’t see why the same wouldn’t work for ASHP

Yes, you have the instructions so swap out a light switch?

and we know that all kitchen fitters/bathroom fitters do brilliant plumbing and electrical work. I prefer to get specific trades for each job.
