thankyou for sharing your experience.
i had no idea about the available grant when i replaced my boiler last year.
i will absolutely get one installed in my next home.
thank you, glad it was useful
Thank you for sharing your insights on your heat pump. The more information and opinions from actual users, the better!
Glad it was helpful! Do let me know if you have any more questions or ideas for future videos :)
It's lovely to hear your thoughts, especially about sound, where you hit the nail on the head. Background noise all but drowns out the sound of my heat pumps/ AC units. And given the pump's cycling, the increased sound is not constant. I doubt anyone will be sitting out at minus five to try to hear above the traffic. Thankfully, the work being undertaken now to the local and national grid network will ensure it is up to the task. Hence the trials.
Excellent you are participating in that trial, and have an open mind and give an honest view.
Thanks.. yes hopefully its helpful :)
the warning signs are when they have to do a heat loss calculations... if you want a nice cosy home keep your boiler.. you can have a warm home with a heat pump but it will cost you more to run.. what they never tell you is if you have two identical houses one with gas the other with a heat pump and run the same flow temperatures..... why would you fix what isn't broken?
Hi Trev, Ed here - we used to run at HRR together! I thought I recognised you! Thanks for the video, we are 3 days into our ASHP install today, hopefully finished tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing it up and running. Best wishes from the Peak District!
Hey Ed, how are you doing? still running much? good luck with the install.. mine was very smooth and it was fairly straightforward to get used to but let me know if you need any tips.. good timing before it gets colder again! Trev
Had air source fitted last week the house is now cold want it removed ASAP not sure what we can do avoid if you can
sorry to hear this Steve. did you contact the installers to check its set up correctly? that certainly shouldnt be the case and all the examples we know heat the house fine. if its only been a week I'd reccomend eg changing the settings etc
Settings are not right. Get them back
Does it get as hot as a gas boiler?
short answer is it "can" be.. but thats not the efficient way to run it. I did a short explanation in todays live stream but hope to answer more Heat Pump questions in a video soon too.
Makes your house cold avoid if you can
I think its in fact the weather which makes the house cold!! But seriously watch the latest video for more answers to this Steve, I think your install might need tweeking.. I'd suggest you contact them? please do let me know how you get on
No. Lucky if water temp gets above 20.
Everyone raves about heat pumps and yes they heat the house and work in the winter . everyone who has one installed reels of great cop figures and how warm it is and how much better than a combi boiler ect, but the question that is never answered is what is the payback? Same as solar! When do you get free electricity? Never get the answer.
Thanks for the comment, I talked about this in my live stream today :)
What is the payback when you spend 5000 on a holiday
No - avoid. Stop for spells of 90 minutes in winter on top of the vibration and noise. Slow to respond to temperature changes.. Control system complex with very expensive components to replace. Hyped up by makers and sellers.
Thats not my experience of it at all.. sorry to hear you had a bad time
Too noisy. Complaints from neighbours
Having a system that is needed most in winter while being much less effective in winter seems like poor design, much like using solar for heating
I don't think I said it was less effective in winter. it worked great through last winter, but it works harder as any system would. Solar for heating again is a better use of energy if you can store the heat!
Air heat pumps are useless, had one installed, gone back to gas after a year. Ok if you like your hot water luke warm and heat indoors never went above 16'C on full setting.
Thanks for the comment. I talked about this in my last video :)
keep the gas boiler, you can dry your washing for free on the radiators while the heat pump guys use tumble dryers at more expense
@@robin5215 What a lot of these heat pump guys fail to mention is there's a heating element in the water tank, so it's hardly any different to an electric boiler when it's cold. They think the systems are like a cold fusion reactor or something. Getting much more energy out than they put in. lol.
A heat pump is such an ugly thing to have anywhere on the outside of your house let alone on the front.
um, well I don't really mind the look of it at all, but you can of course put a box / decorate it etc if you wished.
Climate change is a lot uglier. Considering the threat facing the planet, your aesthetic considerations seem rather trivial.
Ugly OMG
Hi, thanks for the vid I have the same ASHP but struggling with a good heaat curve settings. Could you share what you use for your water law settings 201* and 202* as a reference point? Thank you!
I'll check and get back to you, I don't think i know specifically
