Re: ASHP & triple glazing

I thought it was the glazing units, not the frames.

Re: Starting out on my heat pump journey

So, yesterday was heat pump replacement day, I had the day off work, the Heatgeek trained engineer and one of the trainee's arrived, I was told he was just for muscle to lift the heat pump, it was supposed to be the two experienced plumbers. They did power flush the system, for about four hours, ban...

Re: Starting out on my heat pump journey

I am lucky, my roof is flat concrete tiles, at a 30 degree pitch, very easy to work on, and to walk around on.

Re: Starting out on my heat pump journey

Another panel going up there? Plenty of room, but it's a 2015 FITS SolarEdge system, and I can't be bothered with the hassle and cost of upgrading it, I would get a very nice boost if I upgraded it all as panels are currently 250w, but with a total of 15.5 kWp with the other systems I'll have gener...

Re: Starting out on my heat pump journey

I've now removed the boiler flue, which has the added bonus that it no long shades two solar panels. Gas meter being removed next Friday. https://postimg.cc/gallery/VPfqJPp6 https://i.postimg.cc/jjqXsDLD/2025-05-10-1-Boiler-flue.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/L83DKt6d/2025-05-10-2-Flue-Going-ladder.jpg ht...

Re: ASHP & triple glazing

Nice, certainly looks a heavy and awkward unit to handle, hopefully they got some good suction lifts.

Re: Starting out on my heat pump journey

Thanks, just seemed odd, you'd expect the return to be cooler as it's passed some heat into the tank. I did a little Googling earlier, and that suggested Vaillant don't alter the flow rate. Like I say, we've got nice hot water, and that's costing about 18p a day, which is less than the gas standing ...

Re: Starting out on my heat pump journey

Flow rate too high?

Systems not been commissioned yet due to all the problems.

Re: Starting out on my heat pump journey

I've repurposed the old Shelly sensors off my boiler on to the primary flow and return, just to see what's going on. It doesn't quite make sense, below is a hot water heating cycle, now I would expect some more separation in the flow and return temperatures when heating the tank. but there isn't rea...
