    S-Plan redesign for ufh, buffer tank, dhw, heat pump /with solar

    I have looked at the S-PLAN wiring diagram (standard) for my new UFH/DHW system, but I don't think it offers me the best use of the new heat pumps resources, given i want to run the heat pump at low temp for a long time during sunlight hours only. Instead I came up with different control plan...

    Hi all Been quoted to replace 12 rads and valves, when I asked what they use. He said ultra heat rads and EPH trv's. Anyone used ultra heat rads or EPH trv's? Would you expect them to be any better than Screwfix Kudos?

    Can a 12kw boiler ever heat a 4/5 bedroom house with 3 bathrooms?

    Hi - I'm a homeowner, not a DIY person. My 20 year old Gloworm boiler needs replacing. British Gas quote is ok at £6100 for a 24kw replacement -valiant ecofit 625 system boiler. The tank/heat exchanger and copper pipework bring the price up. OK so I object (rightly or wrongly) for the extra...

    Air to Air heat pump

    Has anyone installed / worked with air-to-air heat pumps? I wonder if their running cost is also high? There’s no information on running cost and even the people handling the funding pots for Air source heat pumps, are not aware of the costing.
