I wonder what will happen when all the heat pumps start to cool the earths core
They are mainly Air Sourced so will cure Global Warming even quickerI wonder what will happen when all the heat pumps start to cool the earths core
Not when they crank up the bio mass power station, they won’tThey are mainly Air Sourced so will cure Global Warming even quicker
There's 2 running now here - one has been given the accolade of the 3rd most polluting in Europe
Maybe it would be less polluting if they dug up coal locallyThere's 2 running now here - one has been given the accolade of the 3rd most polluting in Europe
and left the American trees growing in America
strange folk the greenies
Is beard oil a big polluterWeird
Ok, could be worse.
Hipster for instance.
Not sure, I think the Yorkshire hipsters wring out their beards in a pan to fry stuff.
Does that count as recycling?
Does that then make it palm oil - that's bad shit

Can’t be palm oil, a northern hipster uses beef dripping
it‘s probably is fine to recycle
The theory is you extract the heat in winter and the sun replaces it in summer (good luck with that in the UK).I wonder what will happen when all the heat pumps start to cool the earths core
In terms of energy efficiency heat pumps are excellent but with the cost of electricity approx. 3x the cost of gas the financial efficiency doesn't easily stack up. Summer is great (when you don't really need it) and winter is a struggle (when you do need it). In winter you effectively have direct electric heating (expensive) and summer you have really cheap direct electric heating (approx. 75% cheaper but 75% cheaper than feck all anyway is a bit shit).
I predict stockpiling of LPG and Oil boilers coming up....

Barry I think you were sold an undersized heat pump v your required heating needs.
The rating is given at 8°C ambient, when given your latitude that rating at zero °C would have given a better sizing.
Further the water temperature should be fixed at 35°C, this prevents the internal immersion heaters from switching on.
You really need underfloor heating spaced for 35°C water and not 55°C water to get the right kW rating to heat the rooms.
A lot of snake oil salesman in our game..... but I'm not one of them.

It was in the house when we bought it and installed from new, no idea about the underfloor spec but it seems ok downstairs but upstairs rads are too small for sure. Aa we're always potentially moving I've not changed them
Unless you have green blood and consider eco-terrorism in your nature I recommend avoiding air to water heat pumps.It was in the house when we bought it and installed from new, no idea about the underfloor spec but it seems ok downstairs but upstairs rads are too small for sure.

Currently there are very few situations where they make economic sense.
Off the gas Grid.... then consider them as part of an overall heating plan with a burning fuel for hot water and the coldest two months.
Air to Air is brilliant for outdoor offices/prayer rooms/ Dad dens/ man caves and motorcycle garages.
Cooling in the summer and heating in the winter.
We have whole houses heated with air to air heat pumps, but at 3-5 times the cost of a conventional heating system.
No gas here, woodburner for living room heat
Yes I’m sure the sun heats the ground up to 300 ft … not
would be surprised if it heated the ground to 6ft
This heats
Good old bio mass burner
Burn it all I sayGood old bio mass burner
YOURE KILLING GRETA!
