Up to you but my setup will cost you less than £50 and it’s yours forever. Plus think of all the leaves you can suck up afterwards 🙃

Romeo Done! IMG_2479 (online-video-cutter.com).mp4 IMG_2487 (online-video-cutter.com).mp4 IMG_2480 (online-video-cutter.com).mp4

This was just me testing out that my setup works. Sure I'll come back in due course and share the finished result. That wall in the video is going to have a window cut out so I don't want to fill it yet or beads will go everywhere when we do the cut. There are YouTube videos of people in the USA doing the same thing with what appears to be cellulose.

That’s to the OP for the inspiration My setup… >1800W leaf blower >70mm to 45mm silicone hose >45mm pipe >45mm to 32mm silicone hose >Henry hover adaptor >2m of 30mm swimming pool hose >Jubilee clips Hopefully the videos work and says it all. Thanks to this thread I hope my helps others too. IMG_2350 (online-video-cutter.com).mp4 IMG_2349 (online-video-cutter.com).mp4

Thanks for everyone's input, I'm going to go with option 1, however I must say I can't technically get my head around the difference between option 2 & 3 and why option 2 is suggested the worst option?

Thanks I've got the 17th edition "green book". Option 3 is harder to get 4 x 2.5mm cables in I agree but I don't understand why option 2 is worst? Could you elaborate why?

Thanks do you happen to know where in the regulation it says it's ok?

Hello, Looking for help... Existing 32A ring mains in 2.5mm2 cable. I want to add in two double sockets. I know that option 1 and 2 are allowed. But it's not clear to me if option 3 is allowed? Option 1 is adding the two sockets into the ring creating a bigger ring Option 2 is a single spur for each socket using a JB from the ring mains Option 3 is a a double spur off the back of a ring main double Hopefully the attached image can explain what I'm trying to do.

I should have come back here and updated this thread. There was a case study put on the website for years but it's not longer there and wayback didn't archive it.... Here is the RAW version sent to the installer obviously it's unedited and dated old but.... I have since moved house and back on oil and boy do I miss my heat pump!!

I was thinking to do this myself and found this post. This is exactly what I need to do now and great to see the details of someone else, so well done and thanks for sharing! I have a double detached garage I'm splitting in half with a dividing wall however the envelope of the garage is 100mm brick then 70mm cavity then 100mm block. The current U-Value is around 1.1W/m2K, it would cost too much to insulate on the inside and lose precious volume so I'm going to fill it this way. I already have a leaf blower, compost bin and 32mm swimming pool flex hose. Luckily for me I can access the entire length of the cavity from the inside without having to drill any holes. I only need to insulate 2 walls as the front garage door is being replaced by glazing and the internal partition will be 75mm Kingspan stud wall so I calculate I need 1.6m3 of polystyrene beads. Building control regs says I need to meet 0.7W/m2K threshold for an "existing" element. I calculate it should be 0.39W/m2K after I finish so when the inspector comes round if he does look at this "existing insulated wall done by the previous owner" he will see it's insulated but more so I don't want to waste energy when we heat the new repurposed space. I'll come back and attach some images of my setup maybe in a few months time if I remember

I applied for my GHG on Monday 29th March and received my voucher 21st April. My experience has been hassle free so I have nothing but praise for the GHG team! However.... Speaking with my installer he said he was shocked at the speed my grant was processed. I am 1 of 19 customers who applied for the GHG over its course for either an air or ground source heat pump. I am the only customer who has been issued a grant to date and in "record time", some date back to November last year. I must be really lucky and can only empathize with all of you who are not getting prompt and sensible responses. On a side note I read that the majority of admin work was contacted out to the USA and because of GDPR all applications needs to be anonymised first. This IMO is likely the root cause of everyone's issues. Don't sub this work out especially outside the UK.

I’ve been keeping an eye on this for a while until the date was brought forward. Another success story like stewart’s post on 17th Feb. I applied for my GHG on Monday 29th March and have just received my voucher 21st April. My experience has also been hassle free. I’m getting an ASHP Valliant 7kW system for £10,600 installed in Lincolnshire replacing my old oil system. With 5k on the voucher and 5.6K funded on 0% credit card with RHI payment this just make a sensible investment, thank you GHG team!
