DamonHD Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 I am on the point of signing up for the next stage of an Octopus heat-pump install, enough to apply for the BUS grant, but it is a bit of a journey, and nothing is cut-n-dried yet! https://www.earth.org.uk/Octopus-heat-pump-journey.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamonHD Posted October 24 Author Share Posted October 24 (edited) On Monday I had a pre-installation visit to discuss details of trenching and other prep works, for a planned install next month. We often don't put our heating on until December, so I may have already done my last space heating with gas in this house. Consumption has been tiny since April: https://www.earth.org.uk/saving-electricity-2024.html I am developing a scheme for re-integrating the Sunamp and Intasol with the heat-pump DHW which I think might work well (treating the DHW cylinder as if it is a combi in this arrangement, with the DHW cylinder being 1st priority for Eddi diversion/boost output, Sunamp 2nd), Edited October 24 by DamonHD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamonHD Posted October 31 Author Share Posted October 31 Here is the proposed integration: https://www.earth.org.uk/Octopus-heat-pump-journey.html#2024-10-31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamonHD Posted November 17 Author Share Posted November 17 Modest external groundworks for the heat pump were completed on Friday morning, so it seems this is really going ahead! I have turned off (low-carbon) grid boost to the Thermino ready for the system to be rearranged... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamonHD Posted November 21 Author Share Posted November 21 Internal prep works today including removing the existing cupboard, disconnecting the Sunamp Thermino, and threading round a new T+E from the Eddi heater 2 output for the Thermino in the new control scheme...

markocosic Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Management of how these are being delivered by Octopus seems to gotten worse rather than better over time @DamonHD - is the crew employed by Octopus or are they over-promising on sales and hoping to backfill delivery capability by subbing out 3rd party installers without a management structure to operate in this manner?

DamonHD Posted Wednesday at 09:59 Author Share Posted Wednesday at 09:59 I don't know. I think that the lead may be independent and the rest employees, judging in part by the branding or lack of on their vans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamonHD Posted Friday at 20:26 Author Share Posted Friday at 20:26 Everything seems to be working nicely. I have captured current settings/configuration. I shall do some tweaking over the next few days. Nothing major by the looks of it, certainly less than I had expected. One thing that I wanted to do does not seem possible (schedule/clock AND external call for heat) but I can live without it, as the external call is reasonably well-behaved. https://www.earth.org.uk/heat-pump-16WW-control.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
