They can install by then no problem. I’ve checked. I wanted some feedback on the units?

https://acond.com/ any feedback?

No it’s fine on time as long as you pay the deposit and book the job. Can be done.

Loads of great info there guys many thanks. I’m still undecided if 14k is a good investment or stay as I am?

As a matter of interest what is the best EPC rating to have which will pay the most RHI payments?

Also I now have a comparison chart against some leading models....or so Im told! PRO-R HP comparison.pdf

All done, thanks for the help, 2 small sink holes but minor issues to be filled later.

Thankyou so much for all the feedback, some answers to the questions as below: 1. System can be controlled over the net via an app Im told, trying to find out about it......... 2. Weather comp included against room temp controlled 3. Yes can integrate with solar and use the solar to warm the house too and vice versa. 4. Pump size is 3Kwh to 18Kwh, I currently have a 11Kwh system 5. 7 year warranty on the system 6. Company is local, know them well, used on electric panels. MCS registered and can be done before the deadline 7. Price with no new solar cylinder is £13,270 (RHI £9,900). I asked to get this changed as 1...I have a 210 litre now but its no good for this size house and 2....I want integration to the ASHP. 8. I have attached the quote for you guys to see. ASHP quote.pdf

Yes you are correct, ended up with a long list of other parts needed, together with UFH flushing, solar flushing etc Is this expensive?

Having just had my quote through, it goes something like this: New heatpump (PRO-R model and link below) with new 300 litre solar cylinder. This time I want the solar to be utilised for heating too and not just a stand alone hot water unit. Full accreditation and lots of other bits to bring it all up to spec.....cost is £14,000. Estimated RHI over 7 years is £11,400. https://acond.com/ Whats your opinion? I dont know much about these pumps but are meant to be good...company is very reputable, I know a lot about them and the personnel. So overall Im thinking £2600 for a new setup? For me its kinda now or never, as after RHI finishes in April, I wont be able to get anymore grants. Alternative is to keep what I got, being 12yr old and hope it will all last!

Do I need to fit ACO drains here or just add some gully pots for roof water and kitchen sink waste?

Thanks. It’s running OK at the moment for no apparent reason but if it trips again that’s what I will do straight away. Many thanks.

Sorry RCD too

Im quite certain its to do with KA6/2, as i tried a number of times taking it out and replacing it with the trip occurring when it went back in. I even took KA6/1 and put it into KA6/2 and still it tripped. The RCD had been changed to begin with, sorry if I id not mention this.

Everything now working ok with the relay installed again. Just can’t understand why?

I just want to throw another question in here....I have an opportunity to have a new pump fitted for about 8K (tbc pending survey) with an RHI of £10,800 over 7 years. Now that I have had a few faults with this, would it be worth just selling this and having a new one with a 7yr guarantee too? Could I sell this one and for how much?

Nice new one all fitted and now leak free. Thanks for all your help guys

Haha. Yes something like that

Yes they are link wires, what about the x4 orange wires at the top?

No I cant find the green light. Do you mean the connectors in the block 8 and 9 shown in attached? I have the KA6/2 re-fitted from this morning and is still working but maybe a fluke?

Sorry I have not posted replies in a while. Removed the covers on the unit again this morning.....here is my findings: 1. To confirm.... the heater is connected to the socket labelled D, its the one I unplugged but still tripped. 2. Very difficult to find the orange wire location but on closer inspection, I do think it goes into KA5 as shown...would this be correct? There is no other orange wires on the the system. The KA5 orange wire (see pic) does have a little wear on it....maybe got damp? 3. The heater band is hot to touch on start up so seems to be working OK. 4. I have plugged KA6/2 back in this morning and it all starts up OK and does not trip...so far anyway....

As far as I know yes, just awaiting a site visit. How far through the system does the MCS go, is it from the ASHP to the buffer only, or the whole system? Any links to specs required?

I never had any RHI to begin with.....long story

I am currently having some issues with my ASHP....see other posts......which is about 12 years old and was wondering what you guys think of replacing it before the RHI runs out in March. I have been asking a reputable local company for quotes on a new ASHP, they have come back with a Master Therm unit at a cost of approx £8500 incl installation (tbc on site visit). They have calculated an RHI over 7 years at £10,850. Is it time to bite the bullet and go for it, safeguarding my RHI or just stay with what I have? Whats your opinion?

To remove, is it just a case of removing from the rear bracket and twisting it off?
