I've now phoned various planning departments in our area. There doesnt seem to be any specific guidelines for ASHP's....only for GSHP's and WSHP's. How helpful! They've asked me to email where we plan to locate it, and almost certainly (as ASHP's dont seem to have any separate guidelines...

Thanks Richard. Our local council didnt even know what an ASHP was....dear lord! Not sure where to turn now.

Hi all, Straight forward question hopefully. Does a floor standing air source heat pump need planning permission in Wales? The planning portal says it has recently been reviewed but the link is broken. Thanks

if this gets the thumbs down I'm heading back to the ASHP idea!!!

Just got off the phone to a local MCS installer who's previously been to our property and he thinks we havent got room for all the kit!! Ah man, back to square one. He's now looking into the Baxi multiheat for us. http://www.baxi.co.uk/products/Baxi-Biomass-Multiheat.htm That...

Lots of gas and air! haha

I have thought about this - it's all i think about at the moment. The plan is to only batch burn in the April - October then slumber mode it for the rest of the time (unless we go away). So filling morning and night in the autumn / winter. I know it loses a bit of extra heat in slumber but...

Well we're looking to get the HPP and RHI so need to completely replace our system. I also want to say a joyful goodbye to LPG...I hate it and the excessive prices. (not sure where that leaves our gas hob lol!)...Still deciding on that one.

Well it's most probably not going to be ready until spring - although I'm very aware of the March Heat Premium Payment deadline which I need to take advantage of. I've got some installers coming this weekend and there's lots to be done to convert this into a sheltered area for the tank and...

Thanks everyone - great suggestions. I've found a few options that i'll call today. It seems like £90 for 1m3 is the going rate for split seasoned wood 50/50 soft/hardwood. This does sound a bit expensive if we need 14m3 a year! What would people say to us needing 14m3 a year given our...

Yeah thanks for all your help DeltaT2 - it'll mean some modification of our outside area and drive but I think I can squeeze the system in! Now the hunt for firewood suppliers begins - i'll get onto the local forestry comission and see what they say. Any more help on wood types very welcome.

Hi All, After much deliberation and help from this board we are ditching our LPG 4x 47kg cylinders and combi boiler and plan to install a 25KW Log gasification boiler with 1400ltr accumulation tank. Here it is: http://ecoangus.co.uk/angus_orligno_200_boiler.html We have an 1895 cottage...

Here are some photos of the outside area of the back of our house. Where the calor bottles and coal box are is a possible location for an outside boiler or ASHP. With a bit of clearing out and knocking out of a ledge. Is there a way I could build an under cover area for a biomas...

[/url] Thanks for the link. The boiler looks great and I love the multi fuel thing - safeguarding the future and supply costs. Which is exactly why I am doing this. Unfortunately, despite out rural location we are located next to a highway...a fork classed as a highway (to the back and...

I thought that air to air could purify the air quality. I see your point that it would circuate dust in the room - big oversight from me there. Gas cooker doesnt affect her at all. An open fire or log burner automatically triggers her asthma - it could be physchological - but that doesnt...

Yes we have an open fire with lined chimney in lounge - full functional. One bricked up chimney with air vent in the dining area that hasn't got a pot on the chimney stack (has been covered over) and another open chimney breast that we raised up and put a new lintel in - we have our gas range...
