ASHP and microbore CH pipes
I'm looking to install an ASHP at my home. All downstairs radiators run on 8mm microbore pipes fed from upstairs, where all the radiator pipes are on 15mm pipes. I'm worried I will not have a good enough flow rate downstairs to heat it at a lowish flow temperature. I don't want to run the CH at 50 degrees as my COP will be…

ASHP to heat water for a shower or electric shower?
Hi, My hot water needs are very low, at most, it's a bit for washing up and then a shower for one or two people per day. I have an Air Source Heap Pump for my heating and for hot water, although I'm not using the hot water tank at the moment. For showers, I'm just using an electric shower. What is likely to be cheaper;…

ASHP and supplementary heating
Not sure whether to post this here or in energy threads. However, we are looking to have an ASHP fitted as we have woefully inadequate heating from multifuel stove and wrap around boiler at the moment. As I believe an additional source of warmth would be needed especially in the living room on cold nights we had thought to…

Ecodan ASHP and claiming RHI
We are looking to get an Mitsubishi Ecodan system installed with an FTC6 controller which I believe I can link up to the Mitsubishi Melcloud app. We will use an MCS Installer who will issue an MCS certificate on completion. Have anyone used this system to then claim RHI and what is the process to start the claims?

ASHP installation cost
I've recently enquired pricing for an ASHP system, with whole new radiators (wet system) and water cylinder. I've had few quotes, but they vary in pricing. As some I assume are through MCS certified "surveyors" (and not actual installers) and the cheapest I guess from an Installer/Plumber that is also MCS certified and is…

Constant hot water (using ASHP) or just using the dishwasher and electric shower?
Hi, I've recently had an air source heat pump installed (and moved to a single tariff electricity supply), which also provides me with hot water. My hot water usage is minimal as I live by myself, so one load of washing up per day. I have a shower that is connected to the hot water cylinder, but also an electric shower,…

Currently we have electric mat underfloor heating under our…

ASHP - how much space is needed in the house
I'm investigating aspects of changing from solid fuel to ASHP and while there's plenty of space on the outside wall for the unit I'm unclear how much space I need indoors. Youtube videos of other domestic installations seem to show huge tanks, with masses of pipes, contained in what looks like a mini plant room or at least…

EPC for ASHP
I have had 2 heat loss calculations done for a new ASHP which say I need between 15,500-21,000 KWH for space heating however, my EPC is only 10.1K which means my RHI is a massive difference. Is there anyway to bridge the gap? The EPC was done 3 days ago & Heat loss around 2 weeks ago

A question for people in Scotland - have you had an ASHP fitted by Greener Energy Group?
They have glowing reviews on Trustpilot but I am dubious as I think they also flog those German heaters which are a con. They are coming to survey for an ASHP next week. I have a quote from a local firm but suspect that Greener Energy Group may be cheaper so would be very interested to hear of anyone's experience. Thanks

Most effective way of heating using an air source heat pump (ASHP)
Hi all, I have an ASHP for heating and hot water and want to know the most effective way of using it. Currently the heating is set at 17.c between 3am and 12am the next day, hot water comes on at 1am so I need a 2 hour gap before heating comes on (as apparently it will take forever if it is doing both simultaneously.) Now…

Hi guys My oil boiler is very old and will probably need replacing soon along with the oil tank. instead of going oil boiler for oil boiler my other options would be: an ASHP which will cost about £12k plus VAT (over email quote) - could probably get help from the green homes grant a hybrid ASHP setup which will be done…
