richo106 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Hi All I have had my ASHP commissioned and had it running for a few weeks however since 1st Jan i have had to turn it off so my ground floor can be tiled. My ground floor will be finished tiling today but the tiler said to wait another 14 days before turning any heat on! I haven't got any anti freeze in my ASHP system currently - I am panicking a bit with the freezing temperatures we have been having that it may cause damage to something Is this something I should be worried about? Is there anything i can do over the next week or so to help negate any issues I may have? Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 If you have no glycol you should have anti freeze valves. Is there another zone that isn’t getting tiled that can let the heat pump work? Get in writing what the process is for re introducing the heat, how many degree per day over what period might save a lot of grief later… good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 By off, do you mean standby or fully powered off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharpener Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Some heat pumps have a special screed drying programme which increases the slab temperature slowly over a period of two weeks or so, this might be suitable if your tiler agrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richo106 Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Apologies for the terrible (rushed) first post - My ASHP was in stand-by (off at the controller but on at the isolators) I have spoken to my installer and I have now turned on my ASHP on and left it to heat the buffer tank with the UFH re-circ pump off Many Thanks for the quick replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
