K78 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I keep seeing mentions of good value eBay ASHP’s. Is it a particular model or seller? Nothing jumps out when I do a search. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Lots out there - depends on budget you have and the heat need. This is an example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alphonsox Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 You're right - There's a poor selection of cheap units out there at the moment. All you can do is lurk and hope something turns up. A number of us have Carrier based units but there don't seem to be any around currently.

PeterW Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Also be aware a lot of the cheaper units aren’t ErP certified so may not pass building regs if they check closely... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triassic Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 How about this one https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F352454254568 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexphd1 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 It has been pretty poor on eBay recently for ashp units. @PeterW Can you explain more on the ERP bit, i thought it only made a difference on the EPC ie non erp ashp was marked down.

K78 Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Thanks for all the replies. It will be for underfloor heating to the ground floor and hot water. My house will be 12m x 6m. Insulated slab a 99% sure I’m using durisol. Im not looking for a budget unit, but thought I might be missing a bargain. ‘My budget is tight so I’m scouring eBay 3 times a day ?

Triassic Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) ErP stands for ‘Energy-related products'. From the 26th September 2015 under EU regulations ground source heat pumps, as well as air source heat pumps, boilers and water heaters, are required by law to have labels to show their energy performance as an individual product and when part of an overall heating system.

newhome Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Puts it into perspective when I compare the quote I got of 14.6k to install an 11.2kw ASHP ... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexphd1 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Regarding erp sticker, I get house signed of with direct electric heating system then add in ASHP at a later date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the eco tax just like with pv panels and EWI. Thats my biggest gripe with all these things. Tax payers subsidise it through grants and incentives so they just increase the price 1000%. I find it ridiculous that we have one of the highest percentage of pv panel uptake in the world when we have so little uv. Especially in the NW and Scotland. Its made a lot of people very rich though and gives idiot politicians something to boast about. This country is crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
