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…

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.

ASHP: lagging pipes in loft
Hi there, We have an ASHP - Worcester Bosch Greensource, with internal hot water distribution unit. We've been struggling with unimpressive performance and cost, and I think I may have discovered why. We are in a new build, and I have just been up in the loft for the first time. Many of the slabs of insulation that are…

Do I want economy 7 for a GSHP? Apart from…

This is typical size for a three bed house. I have been told by the salesman that i could replace the boiler with a 14kW ASHP and it…
