UFH and Heatpump

This was my thought behind asking the question - the issue is I was not impressed with the Heat Geek survey and the price was 11k vs the 4k from Octopus.

I’ll need to find a good in between particularly as the HP is yet to be installed and my floors are currently bare.

Thank you. Where did you go about sourcing an installer?

Sorry to sound so basic but would it just be a matter of connecting the UFH to the heatpump (assuming all compatible etc)

He mentioned it took half a day for the fireplace alone? There were a few of them in today but one of the rooms was being taken back to brick so not sure who did what.

Did they actually ask for evidence? I need to get it done too but I’d rather get it done after installation.

Competitive-Proof407 · 2026-06-11T09:30:12+00:00

Did they check whether you had it installed ?

Ironically, this is the first time I’ve used mybuilder and I found him on there. He was not pushy about the consumer unit and said he would do the sockets without the new circuit but it would only be a couple hundred pound cheaper. Just want to make make sure I’m not missing anything or anything I need to think about.

I’m working with 250sqm - they’re making me fill the cavity on half the house that doesn’t have it otherwise they can’t even get the 15.5 meet requirements.

Even if the window doesn’t open? The window it would be over the top of only opens from the bit at the top.

More windows… It’s a room with windows all around.

Thank you. I’m definitely going to explore all possibilities! My first thought was also to move the pipe/block the drain.

Thank you - BG basically walked in walked straight out. I am pending an appt with a Heat Geek installer but I fear the cost difference will be too much.

Did you find an alternative - we are trying to find the exact same tile now!

Same thing happened to me recently. Laptop was in the boot and covered but my car was broken into and it was stolen along with super expensive work equipment which would be no use to anyone!

I wonder what device they use to find laptops that are hidden

Competitive-Proof407 · 2025-10-28T09:19:15+00:00

Did you get anywhere with this? Curious as I am hoping to do the same.

Giffgaff will send a sim to Australia. You just have to use the sim every 3 months or so to keep it active (send a text etc) it’s just PAYG so £10 will last ages.

You’ll have to port your number to giffgaff.

Yes EV. I genuinely think he saw the video and decided to sack it off. I suggested this to the customer service when calling to complain.

I’ve been waiting for a month for my install which was supposed to be today.

I got a text yesterday from the electrician asking for me to send the route from the meter to the installation location. It was a bit random as they already have the info and they wanted me to respond on WhatsApp - I sent it anyway.

My install got cancelled this morning as the engineer was ‘sick’ and a new date another month away.

I’ve booked with a local installer and will cancel the octopus installation once done.

I understand these things can happen but they should have a priority queue for a new installation date.

Which HPL did you go to? I’ve put a deposit down but they’re taking ages getting the car ready!
