Hi All, We have an Ikea Whirlpool DWF B10 Dishwasher. Intermittently the dishwasher fails to get to the end of it's cycle. As an example, we left the house today with it on and 8 hours later that damn thing was still going. Not good when it was set on a 70c wash! This happens more than 50%...

Hi all, We have an air source heat pump with a gledhill unvented 210l cylinder. Unvented tank is installed upstairs above kitchen. It was installed just over a year ago. We have a mixer shower that has amazing water pressure. In the last few weeks the pressure of the upstairs hot...

Hi All, Our back bedroom has half of it's ceiling horizontal and half following the pitch of the roof. We have insulated the horizontal part of the roof with standard loft insulation laid flat. There's no insulation in the slanted part of the ceiling, and in the recent snow you ccould...

Hi All, Here's a pic of my latest project. I knocked this through and will eventually be putting a log burner in there. Plan is to render and plaster the internal side walls, and around the fake oak lintel) but leave the stone wall exposed at the back and tidy it up. I want to have...

Hi All, We live in a 1895 stone cottage in Wales. No damp course. I have recently knocked through a fireplace and plan to rip out some alcove cupboards either side of the chimney breast. The cupboards are quite damp and unsuable inside - a mixture of rising damp and not being aired enough...

Hi all, We evenutally want to upgrade our whole CH system to run on 15mm pipework to the rads. We currently have a 22mm manifold to 8 and 10mm microbore supplying 8 rads. We arent quite ready to do the whole house with 15mm but need to move a single rad in the meantime. I dont want...

We live in a 1895 semi with stone rubble walls. I want to knock through the dining room fireplace for a log burner. There's just an air vent at the moment and it's been bricked up with modern concrete bricks (or something similar). I've put my arm through the opening and taken a photo of...

Hi Guys, You all know me by now...I'm looking at an ASHP to replace my LPG boiler blah blah blah. Thought this warranted a new thread so others out there can easily get to the juice info. Ok, again, I'm getting mixed thoughts on this one... I'm only looking at inverter based air source...

I'm looking to retro-fit an air to water ASHP for all of our heating and hot water needs. We live in an 1895 cottage 90m2. We'll be using oversized radiators on 15mm pipework, ideally without a buffer tank due to internal space issues. All I would like is some advice on brands of ASHP...

Hi Guys, Some of you on here by now know I'm contemplating a Dan Foss AQ ASHP with maxi controller. After installation of the heat pump we plan to oversize rads and eventually replace our 10-12mm microbore with 15mm. I say eventually as we're looking at it as a long run plan. Question...

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

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...

I just cant seem to get a clear answer on this... I understand there is a RHI Premium Payment for ASHP of £850 until March. What is the current situation with ASHP being included on the RHI scheme (similar to FIT for PV solar). Are they included? If not, when's the announcment and...

Hi, So the government are talking of cutting the feed in tarrif by 50%. Does anyone know if this effects existing installations?

Hi all, We're thinking of replacing our current LPG Vaillant Ecotec 831 boiler and getting an air source heat pump in the next few years - we can't quite afford it at the moment. We want to go for the top of the range Dan Foss. I could go into deep detail about everything to do with this...

Hi Everyone, I have done quite a bit of reading on this, but my circumstances don't seem straight forward on the planning permission side of things. I know I should phone the planning office but it's hard to desrcribe without photos. We live in Wales. All I want to do is add a...
