ASHP Quotes
I have an oil boiler and am off the gas grid. I’ve been getting quotes for supply and fit of a 14 kW ASHP and 250 L cylinder. The engineers that visited confirmed that my radiators and pipework are fine as is. I tried local MCS-listed installers and also big energy companies. All quotes came in around £15 k, minus the…

Buying house with solar & heatpump questions
Hello, We've had an offer accepted on a house that has an air source heat pump, 16 owned solar panels and a 6KWh storage battery. We know nothing about any of those things. If it's relevant, I think all were put in within the last few years and the epc rating is B (86). Anyway, what would be most important to ask about? Or…

Can I improve my COP?
It's exactly a year since install and I've taken a set of readings from my Daikin set up. I'm slightly disappointed at DHW is only 1.9 and space heating 2.9. So any ideas on how to improve these would be appreciated. Heating is set to 21 degrees. At night the set back is 18 degrees. I have it come on in the early hours (on…

GSHP settings and thermostat questions
Hello, I have just moved into a house with a GSHP and UFH and wanted to understand the temperature controls and thermostat settings better. I have an option on the heat pump settings to control the room temperature (currently set at 24.1). The rooms in the house all have dial thermostats and are mostly set to 21. How does…

Vibration in my house from a heat pump somewhere
Hi ive recently been hearing a low level vibration in my house. I’ve had over a week of sleepless nights. I can’t locate the source as yet and environmental health not too helpful at the moment and staying the equipment they have probably won’t register it. ive even been told to go to Gp to get my hearing tested- I did and…

Why the difference?
I have an old, (very old) oil heating system. It needs replacing, so I thought I'd look at air sourced heat pumps. I also have an open fire in the lounge as well as two radiators in there. I have had three quotes (well two quotes and an estimate). One quote from British Gas advises that I change all my radiators (6),…

Air Heat Source Pump Problem
Hello, my AHSP is only giving me hot water if I switch my heating on. Can anyone tell me what might be causing it or how to fix it before I call an engineer out? TIA x

Hybrid ASHP / Heat battery option: thoughts appreciated.
As my oil boiler is misbehaving, I’m thinking this might be
a good time for me to start planning a move to an ASHP. I suspect my running
costs could end up being a bit higher than with oil and though I can accept
this, I’d like to narrow the gap as much as I can. I use about 2000l per year at a cost of – let’s say -…

Troubleshooting
The flow and return from the heat pump to the cylinder has this valve on each pipe, part at the top has a little hole and there is a gargling sound as air is coming out but there is also a small puddle of water on the floor below. Very grateful for any advice on what's happening here please. Edited to add, I think it's…

My ASHP Journey in Bonnie Scotland.
We have our new ASHP - just three weeks now and I want to get the best from it. As it was part funded by a renewables grant we also had a phenomenal amount of additional insulation put in the attic.

Complex Leak in system after Heat Pump Install
Hi, I thought I would look here to get some information, as I seem to be going round in circles with Octopus. Last December I had a Daikin heat pump installed through Octopus, it was a painful process to get that far but I was excited when it went in. Since then though it's really not been smooth sailing. I noticed almost…

Tank or Instant Heater for Hot Water
Octopus are visiting us this week to quote for replacing our 10 year old gas boiler with a heat pump. We actually don't use a lot of hot water and it's always seemed odd to me to keep a tank full heated and ready. Aside from shower (which is a thermostat mixer type so we need a hot water feed) and washing up we quite…
