@@dharmensoneji3360 yeah I'd rather too, but it's £13500 vs £6000 so I could buy and fit a all in one givenergy battery for the difference. So it's difficult I'm getting octopus round and I'll see. Heat geek heat loss survey and walking me through how it could be done, gives me the confidence it can be done in this property though. And I paid him for his time so I don't feel guilty about it if I can't justify going with him vs octopus.
Your heat pump electric demand (assuming over 180 days of use (winter?)) works out at around 30kwh daily. You'd probably need to spend another £10k for batteries to use cheap rate electricity most of the time.
@PropertyAtAuction that sounds about right, might even be more like 20k tbh Edit Though that 30KWh would be heat delivered, and not electricity used. Potentially thats only 10KWh needed per day or even 8. So could be done on a 7k 13kwh givenergy all in one
We've been quoted something similar, but 5kw arotherm and HG 250L tank. But, house is 100 years old, all the pipework in yhe house is not large enough for efficient heat transfer at 40degrre, and all 8 rads need replacing. So its a bit "in for a penny". Plus we live in a conservation area where solar cant be on yhe front of the house. South facing... So needs yo be as efficient as possible on grid power alone.
@@JW-xb4kr yes we're in a conservation area too. But the back is fine as a neighbour already has one. It's a bit silly though because for me the front would be preferred and we didn't all have cars 100 years ago but drives and street parking is allowed 🤷
I’d go with a heat geek installer

Hi Lewis, I have a few questions/ comments, will add them in separately to boost the algorithm!!!
Are you saying the other quote was for £13500 after the BUS grant?
You won't get it past MCS unless you chance all the necessary radiators
I think you may have inadvertently said that you can't build a new house with a heat pump soon...
It's not steam coming out of you boiler vent, that would be water in a gas form. It's fumes from burning the gas!
The carbon savings really hit home, best way to explain this.

@@Lewis_Standing Yes, the cars look far worse than either solar panels or a heat pump.
? You said upcoming ban on fitting new houses with heat pump sure?
@@dazsaz yes, the future homes standards means that they are banned from next month
@@Lewis_Standing They are banning heat pumps from new builds from next month???
Gas boilers are banned not heat pumps😂😂😂
Sorry I didn't make that clear @andyj2106
