June 14, 20242 yr Hi all, After 2 1/2 years 'discussing' with planning, in the final stages of detailing a replacement dwelling in oxfordshire before hopefully breaking ground in next few months. Have a number of questions regarding MVHR, HYbrid heat systems, single/ 3 phase etc. Ill try to return the favour here by answering any questions on tools, my mastermind topic!
June 14, 20242 yr Congrats. Well done in getting this far. There is loads of information on the forum about all that so do a search but by all means ask away.

I'm also interested in learning more about all 3 of those so I'll be following with interest if our land purchase goes through. We don't have full planning but thinking about how we would like our house to be designed/work. An exciting time for you, good luck!

For a new build to install both heat pump and boiler would really be a waste of money. If converting from gas already have a nearly new boiler it may make some sense. Just install heat pump, UFH so you get low flow temps and cylinder with big coil. Set to work as a single zone. Cheap easy and low running cost. Just make sure you don't over size the heat pump to much. If you want more info on hybrid raise a question in the correct section.

The system is installed so it can have the boiler taken away without any effect on the heat pump system. A low cost version if you don't have a plate heat exchanger kicking about, is a simple close couple tee instead of PHE. If you needed to buy a boiler, as small as you could find would do the job.
July 11, 20242 yr Hybrid with what? And for what purpose? We thought about it but it made no real sense but it did take a lot of thought to decide what we did want. We were on oil and electric before we demolished, ouch! We are now on full 3P Electric, GSHP, MVHR & Solar with 10kW battery storage.

I wondered which direction you went for and why...did you end up with a hybrid system?
