Taff Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 Hokay, here we go raaggghhhhh! So ASHP all planned out, necessary forms all sent off, underfloor heating components in and now it’s time to order the pump! Was delayed with ordering as contractor found it far too difficult to put his name on a piece of paper to send off to Powergrid etc. After 3 forms sent to him with labels, x marks the spot, big bold lettering stating print name here date here sign here etc etc, he finally understood what he needed to do. So I’ve ordered the pump 4 months later and guess what Mitsubishi have said from today! They are taking no more orders for pumps due to backlog and demand! HELP ME MOTHER OF GOD! ?? supplier is is now recommending LG, anyone with any experience/feedback etc. I’ve been on their website and they all look and work completely different.
ProDave Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 I have an LG ASHP there is a long thread about it and some issues I had. But 2 things to bear in mind. Mine was an old model unit so not necessarily representative of current units. And despite the issues I had, it is performing well. Who is the supplier?
Taff Posted November 3, 2020 Author Posted November 3, 2020 Tailored heat from Cumbria, they were going to supply the Mitsubishi, I’ll have a look for that thread. Ta
PeterW Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 Samsung EHS or Daikin Altherma would be my choice after Mitsubishi. Only caution would be the Samsung is the internal unit is very large, the Daikin is much neater but they can be a bit more expensive.
Taff Posted November 3, 2020 Author Posted November 3, 2020 he Did mention the daikin but I never heard of them, are they any good
PeterW Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 Big commercial manufacturer who have been around a long time.
Taff Posted November 3, 2020 Author Posted November 3, 2020 So if you were choosing a pump would you recommend daikin or Samsung, which one first.
Dave Jones Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 wouldnt worry about it they are both big companies. Bigger things to worry about!
PeterW Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 I prefer the Daikin as I don’t like the Samsung controller but that is personal preference only.
Taff Posted November 3, 2020 Author Posted November 3, 2020 cheers Guys I’ll have a look in the morning
canalsiderenovation Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 In same boat, our new proposal was for Samsung which we agreed to.

Taff Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 Hi well we’ve chosen the lg r32 therma v 12kw, this was recommended by supplier also budget. I’ve had a quick look at it so hopefully will be suitable
canalsiderenovation Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Ours arrived yesterday it's huuuugggeee and the lorry couldn't get over the canal bridge.

I heard that they've discovered issues with their new R32 ecodan models so had to stop ship and recall some while it's put right. I've not heard a peep from my supplier/installer about this, so in theory believe we're still on track to install a 8.5kW ecodan first week of December. In reality the tiling may not be ready for plumbing by then, plus any delay gives a bit more chance for the mythical Green Home Grant voucher to be issued so I can manage the stress. We have a couple electric heaters we can use in the meantime. I'm fairly locked into getting the ecodan now as I've designed the 2 zone heating (UFH+Fan coil) around having the FTC-5 controller.

Meaning the Mitsubishi model?

Taff Posted November 16, 2020 Author Posted November 16, 2020 I’ve asked the question as I was told they were not giving any lead times at all!
Taff Posted November 18, 2020 Author Posted November 18, 2020 Well items have now started to arrive, one item is a 50ltr hanging volano thermico pdc, I couldn’t see this on the list so wondering if this is just an expansion tank, well I hope so. Any ideas

Well don't ask me how, but we received it today! earlier than expected, before paying for it, before the GHG voucher is approved, and before the site is ready to install it, but whatever, WE HAVE IT! Big day as well as ASHP the staircase, Quooker, water softener and Loxone panel all arrived on site today too. 1
