Hi
The solar panel is 1.5m x 1m.
The tanks is made by Macdonald engineering and are specials for these 2 properties. These readings are from my neighbours house, we happened to be some of the last council tenants left in our village, myself for over 25ys, in a earlier post I asked much the same question as our own house had the same problem, it turned out to be a blocked input filter!, which the installer had put on the outlet instead of the inlet, my neighbours is in the correct position. I'm not to sure if air source is really cost effective being retro fitted into houses over 60yo.
I would have thought for the same price PV panels and storage heaters would have been better, less maintenance and no need to train council employees up for the AS & GS heating systems they have been fitting across the Highlands.
Still doesn't get away from the problems, the installers who have done very well out of the capital contract seem to be a bit reluctant to address the problem.
yes the starts are around 50 a day,
ASH manufacturer say that the parameters are wrong and that the system would benefit from buffer tank.
The house has a SMO5 and a danfoss tp5000si room senor in the hall which controls the house heating with the bedroom(3) having radiator control valves.
Our climate on the west coast is very variable, last week we had a night frost then couple of days where the temp never dropped below 12 deg. my understanding is that these systems work best in a climate that doesn't vary like ours.
My own readings work out at around 20 starts a day which nibe say is still high. but this may be skewed from the earlier problem we had.
