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…

Thoughts on Electricity Supplier / Tarriff for GSHP new build?
We are just about to complete a new build (if/when I can get my loops in the ground). We are in Scottish Power area paying the extortionate standard tarriff quarterly at the moment (currently in a caravan). Current usage is about £100/ month. (8250Kw/h per annum) I work from home. Do I want economy 7 for a GSHP? Apart from…

I'm confused (not difficult mind), I'm looking at replacing and lpg boiler with an ASHP. I have underfloor heating. The boiler is currently rated at 28kW which supplies hot water and heating. 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…

Which ASHP model / brand to go with...
I'm looking to retro-fit an air to water air source heat pump for all of our heating and hot water needs. We live in an 1895 cottage 90m2. We'll be using oversized radiators on 15mm pipework, ideally without a buffer tank due to internal space issues. All I would like is some advice on brands of ASHP. They all seems to…

ASHP - Connect to big cylinder?
Anyone have any views on whether it's best to connect an ASHP direct to my UFH, or to a 1500L cylinder? I already have the UFH and the store. Just need to decide whether I'll get best performance from the ASHP connected direct or supplying the cylinder.

Heatpump + thermal store on economy 7.
I'm at the moment ripping up my floors to install insulation, as part of a project to properly insulate my house. I've come to the conclusion that the cheapest possible (per kWh) way to heat is with a very large thermal store, and a heatpump, running on economy 7, leading to underfloor heating. This can hit well under…

ASHP - How to know the actual COP?
Thinking of installing an ASHP and have been following some of the threads on here. I may have missed this, but how does one actually calculate the real COP that is being achieved over a chosen time period? Obviously I can meter the electrical input, but how do I measure the actual heat output? Sorry if this is dumb....

Off gas, ASHP or GSHP?
Hi Can anyone help? I'm building a new house in an area with no mains gas. This will be a house for my family and I to live in for the long term.

So winter has come to an end and to all those people who changed their heating to ASHP, or GSHP, and who also installed solar panels. How much lower were your gas and electricity bills compared to before you changed?

Air to Air heat pump. ASHP for space heating only
I've read quite a few articles on ASHP around here but it seems a lot is being discussed about air to water, units installed in lofts, old stone houses and generally less than optimal scenarios. As far as I can understand, air to air systems with high-wall mounted indoor units are probably the most efficient option. I plan…

Ecodan 8.5kw ASHP wall mounting,vibration and induction interference
Is this possible to wall mount? There doesn't seem to be a purpose made fixing kit. I looked at the downloadable manual and it says when fixing to the ground } so I assume some sort of isolation from the wall is necessary to prevent the wall acting like a giant soundboard. Also manual recommends placement of the unit NOT…
