Hi Mike - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. Glad you found it useful. My GivEnergy system has been great and I would install one again. I'm not so au fait with Sunsynk but hopefully your installer will be able to guide you too If you’ve not already, please do like this video, stay tuned for some more content and thanks for taking the time to contribute to the discussion on this video 🙂

You used it 5 times and it didn't work? I suspect you didn't use it properly, or whatever you were coating was too far gone. I've used it a couple of years running on 3 cars and not had any issues.

Hi Michael, yes it will work to reflect the heat from the radiator back into the living room, rather than it going through the wall

Do you mean the light unit or the bulb itself?

The radiators with no smart tado TRVs on them will heat (if open) when the system is running. We have smart tado TRVs on all our radiators apart from our bathrooms which heat when the other rooms call for heat too.

Lanoguard is a natural product and does therefore have a shelf life www.lanoguard.co.uk/blogs/news/ultimate-guide-to-underbody-rust-protection-with-lanoguard#section6 If you need to buy some more there's a discount link in the video description Shan

Hi - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. Yup, that I imagine would be a massive saving! The other option would be Tomato Energy which I've done a video on, but less tried and tested.

Thanks Stefano. You can just use lanoguard or if it's particularly bad then bilt hamer hydrate 80 like I used should be helpful amzn.to/3CXdfdQ

Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes it's still quite a big purchase. However, compared to other options it is still significantly cheaper and the quality is excellent at it's price point

@everythinghome it may be a good idea to share the cost with friends as we will not need it every day

@trevorpitchell5970 yea, I think that's a good idea 👍🏽

The low battery should cancel itself with nothing you need to do. Have you tried turning the car on and off again. I presume the key fob is working ok?

Hi Harry - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. Glad you found it useful and I'm still really pleased with my tado 👍🏽 If you’ve not already, please do like this video and stay tuned for some more content 🙂

Hi Paul, lol, they have stayed waterproof which is pretty good but yes I agree, some of the rivets holding my laces have failed. Won't be buying Karrimor again, but the Dubbin wax seems to have worked well in keeping them waterproof.

Hi Brian - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. Glad you found it useful. That sounds like a great saving and payback around 10-11 years - is that with export payments or just on savings? Solar is definitely the way forward compared to wind on a domestic install 👍 If you’ve not already, please do like this video, stay tuned for some more content and thanks for taking the time to contribute to the discussion on this video 🙂

Thanks buddy. Congratulations on the new install, exciting times. It's well worth having a look at Eon next drive as you don't need an EV if you have solar and battery. Their rates got even better in October and their import and export rates are fixed for 12 months. I did an update video here: th-cam.com/video/xmKSLU3PRaw/w-d-xo.html

Thank you,will do 👍 .On the eon drive export what time of day is that rate available IE 16.5p

@seekeroftruth0665 that export rate of 16.5p per kWh is available throughout the 24 hour period 👍🏽

Hi, that's their interim tariff which is a flat rate tariff. I would charge your batteries and anything else during the off peak time of next drive and then ask them to backdate your consumption. I shared my experience switching here: th-cam.com/video/4s_HnKWyRL4/w-d-xo.html

Thanks - yes I've come to know that too. I'll pop an update note in the video description and comments - thanks

Hi Stephen - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. Glad you found it useful. That's great to hear. Yes Tim and Kat's green walk and Gary's channels are great sources too. Competition in the energy market is always welcome. Thanks for using the link - do send me an email at savemecashuk@gmail.com once the referral has gone through and we can sort out the extra £20.

Thanks for the info. Can you send me an email via the channels email address savemecashuk@gmail.com and I can send it to you. Thanks, Shan

Could I have the email address you use with Eon please so we can both get the referral payment?

If you email me at savemecashuk@gmail.com I can send it to you 👍🏽

Yup that's correct 👍🏽

Hi Samuel - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. IMO Lanoguard is great as a long-lasting, flexible which is much easier to apply. Hammerite, on the other hand, is better suited for aesthetic metal finishes where a hard, durable shell is needed, like fences and furniture, but requires more prep work and can crack.

Not sure where you've got that from - lots of people switching onto V4 without an EV. It's an either or jobby as far as I'm aware and I switched with no issues.

@ thanks for the reply. I’m hoping to get my solar install certs tomorrow but can’t see anything that states either/or for the new V4. Annoyingly, I spoke to Eon today (existing customer) and they didn’t mention this option. Just sign up to a dual rate tariff and then SEG.

You can sign up online - www.eonnext.com/tariffs/next-drive SEG is via a separate link but you'll need to wait till your docs come through for that one and can be completed via this online form - www.eonnext.com/electricity-and-gas/smart-export-guarantee

Hi, if you send an email to the channels email address at savemecashuk@gmail.com I can have a look and check it's tracked. Once it's all paid we can sort out the extra £20. Thanks, Shan

Hi James - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. Glad you found it useful. If you have an EV you can switch now. You could switch before as they don't ask for confirmation of solar panels battery until you sign up for the export tariff. I documented my switch here which may be useful: th-cam.com/video/4s_HnKWyRL4/w-d-xo.html If you’ve not already, please do like this video, stay tuned for some more content and thanks for taking the time to contribute to the discussion on this video 🙂

@ hi, thanks for that. I’ve just watched that video! Very informative 👍

I suspect it will continue to have the app, worth trying 👍

Hi Ian - thanks for supporting the channel 🙏. Their referral admin systems aren't quite that of Octopus so I don't get informed consistently when someone uses my link - could you send me an email via savemecashuk@gmail.com so I can keep an eye out. Thanks, Shan

Hi Peter - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. Glad you found it useful. You can't easily download the 30 minute data as far as I'm aware. Others on the tariff do tend to use other apps like the Bright app to keep a closer eye on their usage. I agree, certainly keeping on top of the data can be useful to aid future decisions. That's an old Amazon fire tablet which I added Kiosk browser and flashed so that I could display my solar panel/inverter app - I covered how to do this here: th-cam.com/video/MTApiF7mPEU/w-d-xo.html If you’ve not already, please do like this video, stay tuned for some more content and thanks for taking the time to contribute to the discussion on this video 🙂

Hi, sorry to hear that, hopefully you're on the next drive tariff now. Yes you need to complete a separate SEG form, which you would have to do with octopus too to be fair. I covered this process in my initial video th-cam.com/video/4s_HnKWyRL4/w-d-xo.html Fingers crossed once you're on the right tariffs all will be ok. The only issue I had was getting onto the next drive tariff in a timely fashion. Since I've got on I've had no issues with billing/export payments etc

Are those figures right for the current rates? You're right it will take a while to recoup, but for us we'll more than likely be in our house for the next 20 years. So made sense 👍🏽

@@everythinghome The test was done a couple of years ago, so won't be far off.

It's a great tariff, however for us we are net exporters so it just doesn't make sense (but it's reasonably close). I broke down the numbers for tomato energy here th-cam.com/video/AKyaLo-VUXM/w-d-xo.html

@everythinghome I'll take a look, thank you. I am unable to export myself due to having a system I built myself and no MCS certificate. I've just moved from Agile to tomato as I think that's going to be best (definitely less hasstle) for my setup up.

@James-k2c9k that makes sense. Let us know how you get on 👍🏽

Hi - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. Glad you found it useful and that you've sorted out your overnight charging 👍

Hi Chris - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. Yes - IOG would have been an option but in order to be eligible for that I would have had to spend a significant amount on compatible car or charger. You're right, switching won't be for everyone but it's useful for people to know that they do have other options.

Hi - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. Couldn't agree more, I love Octopus and as I said they have done masses to accelerate the green energy space. But without competition, companies become complement and this keeps everyone on their toes.

Hi John - thanks for asking - you've made me second guess myself - I've double checked - I put the two videos with the V3 and V4 sign up criteria on each screen and they are the same (phew) 😅 If you’ve not already, please do like this video, stay tuned for some more content and thanks for taking the time to contribute to the discussion on this video 🙂

@@everythinghome My mistake, I paused the video at 8.40 and it simply mentions having an EV and a Smart meter, no mention of a solar storage system, although I rewatched and just prior to this point there's something that says a solar storage system is acceptable. Not your fault, but definitely conflicting information from E.ON.

Thanks - definitely worth screenshotting then on sign up. Luckily I have the whole process on video 😂

Hi Paul - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. Glad you found it useful. A few people have mentioned the same. It may be worth checking if you can move just your electric to V4 and keep your gas with V3. Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the discussion on this video 🙂
