Could it be that Australia has more sun and therefore each system produces more energy per year than say, a UK one, and therefore the outlay produces more income?

We have radiators, and when we tried using the ASHP for cooling, if we ran it at 18oC condensation dripped off the radiators so we don't use our ASHP for that.

Ditto. In May, we paid more for the standing charge and VAT than the electricity we used.

Not sure that the PVC will take the weight of the glass....

I have used 20+ time delay on off / relay switches from GEYA and found them all ok. Sometimes the instructions have been a little hard to understand but maybe that's just me.

That's non setting electrical putty https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChsSEwjV_aGfyr6TAxXzjFAGHbGsIjYYACICCAEQAxoCZGc&co=1&ase=2&gclid=CjwKCAjwspPOBhB9EiwATFbi5BkanPos5dLixv0wSp1V_3WAHOacGQ1jnwucOEUEE5d2-PmOgYSP0RoCFW8QAvD_BwE&cce=2&category=acrcp_v1_32&sig=AOD64_1l9R1G1FCGLV_DOlYmv6FsI1sd3g&ctype=5&q=&nis=4&ved=2ahUKEwja35Wfyr6TAxWeQUEAHfLbLX0Q9aACKAB6BAgFEB4&adurl=

We have a small MVHR. I swap the filters every 6 months - have 2 sets so wash /clean the swapped set. I had a problem and it came down the the bearings on one of the fans (after 8 years). Replaced both sets on both fans. And whilst there cleaned the inside of the MVHR. Seems alright now.

With us: Heating: ASHP to water to radiators Inverter outside, Batteries outside, ASHP on roof MVHR unit in loft - fully insulated In utility room: 205litre cylinder - 300mm insulated, Buffer tank - 300mm insulated, all controls and valves- insulated Washing machine, Condensing dryer, Clothes hangers Current temperature in utility room 23.1C The room gets quite warm when washing and drying which is useful otherwise no problem. Never had a moisture problem anywhere in home. Our home is quite small compared to a lot on here -104 square metre floor area. I know of one friend who is doing that sort of thing on a big scale - circulating the heat in the house via another duct system! Our windows are east and west facing and the one thing I wish I had done was put in a system to take the heat from the east end in the mornings and send it to the west, and the reverse in the afternoons during the Autumn and Spring.

Absolutely, and purchasing of gas when supplies are cheaper...

Yup. And if proven to be successful will be a game changer! Thats why I put as much PV in as possible..

Er, I was thinking people should wear it.😂 But on a serious note our home produces more energy than it uses in a year, just not when we need it. We need good energy storage.

In the UK 45-50% of energy is used for heating. What we need is more sheep. We can then produce more wool.

Almost ditto. I run 32mm down first vertical into a 32 to 40 collar and 40mm swept bend and pipe from there on. Also, always use swept bends the whole way.

Oh and whilst you at it I would consider the 80amp meter might need changing....
