Exorbitant energy Bill's due to inefficient boiler? - ASHP(Nibe f470)
Hi all, I'm looking for advice regarding energy Bill's I originally posted in the energy section, but I got referred here to ask if my boiler (Nibe F470) is running sub optimally. A rough summary is I'm living with my partner in a 2 bedroom apartment. It is fully electric with a Nibe F470 boiler ASHP. The EPC is rated as B…

How to run my ASHP most efficiently?
Hi, I had a Mitsubishi Ecodan air source heat pump installed last year. When commissioning the system the installers spent literally 2 minutes going through the settings with me. A year later, I now feel I would like to optimise the settings so I can get the ASHP working most efficiently. (the installers are now bust so I…

Daikin Altherma ASHP pressure prob
Hi all hope you're well. Just having a problem with a newly installed system and wondered if anyone could help a complete novice? Have noticed the pressure has dropped to almost nothing. Heating still seems to work but a couple of rads are barely warm. I am attempting to 'top up' the pressure using the filling loop in the…

ASHP Do I or not
Hi all I live in an old (1689) listed property, with an ancient Trianco 36K oil boiler. It uses about 1k litres every 3 months, currently 50.1p/Ltr. No wall insulation cause they are solid limestone, but all windows are double glazed, biggest air gap I can get, and loads of loft insulation. Renewafuel have suggest a 14Kw…

ASHP as aircon unit for bedroom
Hi, appreciate there's a thread about ASHP with solar but my questions here are a bit different so please bear with me. Health issues and medication have made the last couple of summers a real ordeal due to high night time temperatures, but I've shied away from getting aircon as it has seemed a bit of an extragance in the…

Sensible ASHP quote?
Hi A neighbour of mine had an ASHP installed about 6 months ago along with some solar panels. So far he's impressed with the results and apparently it's slashed his heating bills (although he hasn't gone through a full winter with it yet). Our houses are very similar (his slightly larger) so I had a survey done by the same…

ASHP Thoughts?
I found this multi-room ASHP on an older thread and thought it looked really good for the money (Although I'm a noob to ASHP's so could be wrong!) and was worth it's own thread:- https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/eiq-3ms9k9k9k/electriq-eiq3ms9k9k9k-air-conditioner#/maindesc The idea being to combine it with our existing…

ASHP Boiler Replacement
A (well known) energy company is trying to persuade me to replace my boiler with an ASHP claiming that it will save me money. Granted there is a government incentive that will offset some of the capital cost. But by my calculations it still does not stack up. The ASHP is claimed to be on average 300% efficient. If I…

ASHPs: worth it?
Hi folks, I've just had solar installed some weeks back and am now looking into whether ASHPs would be a worthwhile investment. I've gone through the faq thread and am even more puzzled given extreme views on either side! Key facts:* I have solar power * House is 150 sq metres * RHI payment estimate for my property is £850…

GSHP-combining with other energy saving methods
Hi, we have a GSHP fitted that provides our underfloor heating and hotwater and also solar PV (4KW) which helps power our electrical devices during daylight hours but are they any devices/ methods we can combine with these to further save energy. I have seen the "solar power dump" box of tricks that heat your hotwater with…

New build house, GSHP
Hi all, just after some advice if that's ok. We decided to go with a GSHP for our new build house. We chose an installer (who incidentally also did our first-fix plumbing). There was a small gap (2-3 months) whilst we were deciding on horizontal or vertical collector systems. At no point did we agree that that original…

'Clean Airways' Miele Heatpump Dryer
I am getting this repeated error message on my Miele T 8966 WP heat pump drier. When the message shows the dryer stops working. I routinely clean the filters and have taken the cover off the air inlet and vacuumed it to no avail. On looking at other forums it would appear that this is not an uncommon problem but I have not…

ASHP life expectancy
Does anyone have experience of how long ASHPs should last ? I paid £10k six years ago for an 11 kW NIBE Fighter 2005 pump that has just required £1,600 to fix a leak. Now it's failed again (in a different way). I had this unit commissioned 6 months before the start of the RHI scheme so I have received no help with the…

ASHP – Should do better - Must Do Better
At the risk of mortally offending the ASHP aficionados on this forum, there really must be something done about curbing the enthusiasm for this technology until the industry – manufacturers, installers or both - has come to grips with their problems. A recent BBC report highlighted the poor performance of heat pumps and…
