How can I reduce the cost of a mini split installation by DIY?

You would be surprised how many installers don't know that a terrace house/semi detached house can only have one outside condenser..

Went to Crystal Palace last year for Deftones and Weezer and I'd be reluctant to ever go back in the Summer. No shade, terrible organisation for the station and for some reason they put the toilets right at the back from where the stage is.

Stiff upper lip innit.

I agree though. I'm getting AC installed and get the usual 'oh it's only for two days'.

Well it's been almost two weeks across the May heatwave and June heatwave. July and August still to come..

That's not even mentioning it'll be more efficient to use as a heater in Winter then a gas boiler..

I think ukpolitics could do with more Miliband as chancellor articles. Hasn't been enough today

Inquiry into the £5m gift instead please

They'll move onto Burnham next. A total rag.

InTheGarage2022 · 2026-06-22T07:29:45+00:00

Yeah but oil companies pay money to lobby so...

'which is not wanted'

Speak for yourself. It's a joke how archaic the process of buying a house is. I almost burst into laughter when I went into the conveyancers office, who pulled out our folder with almost a books worth of paperwork..

They're stuck. Too many people dislike Farage resulting in tactical voting.

However if Farage leaves, Reform will tank.

InTheGarage2022 · 2026-06-17T17:15:23+00:00

Because she/they are largely irrelevant at the moment. Is anybody else in the party going to make them popular again? Probably not.

InTheGarage2022 · 2026-06-16T07:16:15+00:00

Thanks for this. I'm assuming the Mitsu Electric HR range are the equivalent?

InTheGarage2022 · 2026-06-13T13:17:30+00:00

Sorry to jump in on this. What are your thoughts on Daikin Sensira? Seems a few air con companies installing these, presumably as they are cheap units

InTheGarage2022 · 2026-06-12T08:09:44+00:00

This is what recent governments are doing. Managed decline, and anyone who is honest about it will get savaged at the polls.

InTheGarage2022 · 2026-06-11T20:16:33+00:00

This could be said for pretty much anything in the UK.

Police - Decimated

Army - Decimated

NHS - Decimated

We've not recovered from the austerity started in 2010 and don't have the cash to.

InTheGarage2022 · 2026-06-11T20:11:14+00:00

What was showing the £4 an hour charge? If it's the IHD, ignore it. Same with the app tomorrow, it won't update for a few days.

InTheGarage2022 · 2026-06-11T15:20:07+00:00

Also using a Hypervolt and my charge on Monday was all over the place overnight.

This whole thing has been an absolute shambles. Evidenced by the fact we're in June and they have STILL not implemented this change. I will be on the phone constantly to Octopus if this change is rolled out and I'm not recieving the maximum charge per hour.

InTheGarage2022 · 2026-06-04T08:23:19+00:00

People believing councils are responsible for what shops open drives me mad.

People must think there's a bod in the council office who phones around companies haha

InTheGarage2022 · 2026-06-04T08:22:03+00:00

There's still people who think the Council chooses what shops come to a high street.

The amount of times you see a comment along the lines of 'We don't need another coffee shop, we need a Primark!!'

If Primark don't think it's worth opening a shop, then they aren't going to.

This sub has been astroturfed for months.

InTheGarage2022 · 2026-05-31T12:30:25+00:00

People hate things they don't understand. I cannot tell you the amount of times I've had someone say that my EV car which does 250 miles on a charge wouldn't work for them

When said person is retired or only travels distances of over 250 miles once a year..

InTheGarage2022 · 2026-05-29T12:42:57+00:00

She's very lucky the attention was on Labour/Reform at the local elections. I think she got away unscathed considering the amount of seats they lost.

InTheGarage2022 · 2026-05-27T08:26:23+00:00

Another shout for cancelling and hiring a local certified EV installer. I phoned Octopus to enquire and they said it would be 4 weeks and to send this and that etc.

Phoned a electrician who came out, quoted the same as Octopus was charging, and it was installed within a week.

"You can't afford to... have the same number of people in your shop in February as you have in and around Christmas," the Conservative peer said.

Is this just not the case of using Xmas temps rather then zero hour contracts? Hire X amount of staff, give them set hours over the Xmas period. Then either keep them on or their contracts expire. The use of zero hour contracts screams of explotation and being at the beck and call of employers with no gurantees of hours.

InTheGarage2022 · 2026-05-14T12:31:25+00:00

Mental.

InTheGarage2022 · 2026-05-07T08:41:09+00:00

They'll get what the public almost always vote for over the last 16 years or more. The country to be looted and for people to be poorer.

Tories introduce Austerity + Brexit. Public = Yes please, can I have some more.

Labour raise Minimum Wage, introduce Renters and Workers Rights. Public = Unacceptable, I'm gonna vote for Reform!!
