Can someone please confirm whether an electric vehicle charging pod at home can be setup to prevent any random person from charging their EV from my property or whether it's open to all? I presume that they need to connect to the home wifi to enable it in the app otherwise simply plugging the...

I didn't understand your comment - they would pay me 5p-10p per kw ? Pls expand your reasoning.

That’s ridiculous. Who would trust a corporate to simply operate dynamic pricing structures like this!? You cannot plan for anything. It’s like walking around the grocery isle and by the time you get to the till the price has changed from when you picked it off the shelf! Lol

I’m curious to how much they would charge per kw during peak usage in return for this rebate. At present we’re paying 29p approx per kw and that’s probably going to move to what, 45p?

I wrote the last msg before both of your recent msgs but only submitted now.

Yes and I was one of the converted who decided to opt my parents home into the second generation(maybe first) smart meters about 4 years ago. I regret that decision. I’ve been avoiding switching my own home to a smart meter and glad about it especially when I’m reading about premium pricing...

Could someone please explain to me how the energy suppliers like octopus will rebate customers £6 per kWh for those not using heavy energy intensive appliances between 5 and 8pm? I understand that a smart meter will need to be installed but is this based on the assumption that they will have...

So the only solution is to replace the radiator or the heat exchanger if those are the items blocked? I would have thought that a sufficiently aggressive power flush would clean it out.

Could I please have some comments from informed people who have used the F8 product to clean out dirt and sludge in a central heating system (without a power flush) by leaving it in there for a week or two at most before emptying it three times and also using the F1 inhibitor? Is it possible to...

When using my taps on my basin I sometimes get back pressure or gurgling / water coming up the shower tray waste pipe. I recall reading somewhere that there is a system that prevents this or air venting or something something. How does one usually prevent back flow or water coming up the...

Some more questions if you don't mind, having read all of this again: 1. So you tank is stainless steel and not plastic? 2. In your first post you said that this will be cheaper than a dedicated rainwater harvesting tank. What makes this any different from the dedicated one? 3. If it stainless...

Sorry Im not thinking straight, what is the good reason for that? If you didnt have a pump, what would the pressure be like? When you say your tank also pumps the water up the garden, what you mean - have you got a fancy irrigation system? Also if the pump fails, what are we typically look at...

Thanks. Funnily enough I was looking at Tanks Direct at the time of my first posting. From the photos the tanks dont look that big but when you consider their size, 2m dia and 2.3m+ high, they appear huge. Is your tank also supported by being screwed to the wall in case it gets knocked / for...

Hi Is there anyone here who has installed or is familiar with the type of rainwater harvesting tanks on the market? I have a 4,000 sq ft home with large roofs and want to capture some of the huge amounts of water coming off it as part of the renovation project. Am undecided what size to go...

Hi - what rainwater harvesting tank do you have and from where? I'm looking for 5,000 litres plus for use only in my garden. Any tips on what to do or not do or get / not get? Thanks.
