Reply | Air source heat pumps
at 15:44 23 Aug 2023
Just finished completely redeveloping a 1930s semi so made sense to use the opportunity to install a heat pump, because we could make the property very insulated and add underfloor heating on the ground floor. No regrets yet, but not had a full winter to really test it (only really had the property fully sealed and insulated in March/April time).
It is certainly a different way of heating, because its about managing a consistent temperature you are comfortable with, without any major peaks and troughs (lots of trial and error needed to find the right balance). I have four zones around the house, so I can heat different parts of the house and different times of the day dependent on usage.
The underfloor heating seems to work well because it keeps the rooms warm for a long time after its turned of. Not sure if there are any implications for only having radiators. Good insulation is definitely crucial - when we still had builders working there with doors open or there were still draughts that hadn't been sealed it was harder to heat and maintain a good temperature.
Costwise I don't think it will save me money at the moment because gas is so much cheaper than electricity, but that might change in the future. Octopus does have a tarriff aimed at heat pump owners. This gives you two much cheaper periods (3-7am and 1-4pm), but offsets this with a more expensive peak period (4-7pm). I haven't switched to this yet because it didn't make sense during the Summer when I haven't needed any heating.
If you need any other feedback, feel free to send me a message. |

Whereabouts did it happen? I think you can probably check online to see if there is a camera at the lights.
These things can happen to all of us. Mine is six now and instead of screaming, he is now constantly checking my speed and telling me to slow down if I creep over the speed limit! |

I think one of wife's friends is involved in book restoration, but don't really know exactly what she does (I really need to listen more). Let me check and I'll let you know. Definitely somewhere in London. |

I'm sure the Sunderland fans will be delighted with that! [Post edited 9 Aug 2019 9:37]

Wasn't there also a nasty challenge on Nolan that only resulted in a yellow card at the start of the second half? At the time I thought it could have been a red (especially if it had been the other way round), but that could have been a heat of the derby reaction. Anyone see it watching on Sky? |

I was in B block Cobbold, so about half way between the away fans and SBR and apart from a handful of times I heard nothing from the Norwich fans. SBR was subdued in the first, but rocking for most of the second. |
