Re: Iboost and buddy or can you go HA

Ok, so now all installed. The Eddi does not go with Buddy that I was told initially (that is the iBoost companion) but a Harvi. I believe you may be right that it can stand alone but as far as I can gather the reason for them putting the Harvi in, is installation aggravation is reduced. I may be wro...

Re: Screed flooring - anybody got any ideas?

Are you sure what you refer to as screed in that mix is a screed layer over concrete or is it simply a concrete layer on the ground? I think I must be muddling my terms as you imply. I believe the stuff under the dpm is concrete, so I could do away with sand/polystyrene and chipboard, lay a 38mm &q...

Re: Screed flooring - anybody got any ideas?

Thank you for replying. I know where the water came from and that is resolved. I can not have the uproar of 200mm as that would mean digging out.

Screed flooring - anybody got any ideas?

We bought a house last year. Despite paying for the most expensive survey and thinking no probs, there was a rotting floor in the extension area. We replaced some to get it liveable but it is not a long term solution. The existing floor is screed, liquid dpm, sand layer to even out, 35mm polystyrene...

Re: Iboost and buddy or can you go HA

Re: Iboost and buddy or can you go HA

Thank you everyone. I have taken all this on board and gone back to the pv company. They confirm the aforementioned 16amps requirement, so although we have run storage heaters from smart plugs, they were under 2kw. Contractor recommends going with Eddy ( not iboost they claim it could invalidate the...

Re: Iboost and buddy or can you go HA

Have 13amp rated wifi sockets and have use for 1.8kw storage heaters. I think the immersion is 3kw or less. The contactor wasnt raised by me, should I need that can it be added later or will he automatically install that. The immersion is on its own circuit breaker.
Thanks

Re: Iboost and buddy or can you go HA

So our PV is being installed next week (Tail end of hurricanes allowing). The Electrician came round to reccy what needed doing. I commented it was imperative that the iboost have a plug fitted and the existing direct wiring of the immersion be changed to a switched socket so the iboost can be plugg...

Re: Iboost and buddy or can you go HA

Thank you all. So when you use a smart plug the iboost is being disconnected from the power....and will pick up seamlessly when power is restored?
