Well I am expecting a huge rise in electric use of course. My investigations and experiments tell me that my system will work well at 45c and compared to my current oil bill it should be significantly cheaper to run I asked about the pump as I don't like to waste money on a poorly sized...

Hi all I have a large house that used to have very poor circulation to the furthest rads in the system. A plumber installed a much larger pump and told me that would sort out the problem. It didn't. I eventually had lots of floorboards up and found out that the whole system was using 15mm...

Thanks all. I was so fixated that it happened at the time of the digital switchover that I never looked for the simpler things :oops: It turns out it was the patch leads ! :mrgreen: thanks again

Actually I have found out that the TV is recieving OK - we don't usually watch straight TV we watch using the humax. I never checked :oops: I'm an idiot! I swapped tv Aerial leads(I have four down from the loft) and it was the same. So it looks like it's a humax problem :oops: not...

Hi Nothing has changed and it seems pretty constant. The channels that work are fine but the channels that break up, always seem bad.

Thanks mate I will try to get that done this week and see how it goes. thanks again Mike

I live in west Norfolk near downham market. I had a loft aerial installed a few years ago and our freeview reception was pretty good. When the UK changed to all digital I thought it would get even better. It has got worse instead! our best transmitter is 'Sandy Heath' and I have looked...

Yes roof is full and although not generating much at the moment that's expected in February. Had it for three years now and overall I am getting much more generated than the producers predictions thank you

ah! I see thanks

I cant have solar hot water as my roof is full up of PV! when you say 'Good systems use multiple compressors and step-modulate, running X of them at maximum efficiency loading. could you point me in the direction of one please? I have not seen any like that except the HT daikin with a 2...

I have never heard that argument for keeping my oil boiler. I was thinking of keeping it anyway and switching over to it at below zero temps ie. a bivalent system. But thinking about it your idea sounds good. I could even keep my old HW cylinder! ah but would the heat pump be more efficient...

From what I have read I think you are right. Poor installations are the main culprit. I have done a lot of research and have a friendly installer on another forum who has given lots of free advice so I'm as confident as I can be that the system will work ok. I'm not expecting COP's of 5 ! lol...

I have heard of this report but think it's out of date there are others who think that an ASHP's have improved a lot. can you give me a link to that report please I have googled it but can't find it westie101 thanks I will give them a ring

Hi I have been asked to supply a 40amp and a 32 amp connection for an air source heat pump. Both these supplies will run motors 32amp is outside fan and 40 for the Heat Pump. I have a 100 amp single phase supply to my house will I have a problem when the motors start ? and do I need to ask...

Hi we used resin bonded bolts in the end. they were absolutely amazing, when we were tightening them up not one of them turned in the wall. they were rock solid. considering the state of the wall which was sandstone with a rubble core, I though at least some of them would fail. Not not...

ah quite a sensible idea methinks :) i will have a look and see if it can move forward. But basically what you are all saying is that my idea of the shape of the bowl being badly designed is not right - so if that is the case yes i must think again.

I think my rectal design is fine thankyou :) it seems to work in all the other toilets I use.

Pretty horrible topic so apologies in advance. we have a toilet that is a fairly recent design bought from one of the sheds as a 'toilet to go' or a 'bog in the box' as i like to say. well the problem is that the poo hits the back or the sides first and always leaves smears or worse...
