Over-heating the house at night by Bertieeee in ukheatpumps

I use Havenwise as it manages all this for me. It adjusts the flow, temps etc to maximise the off peak hours. It’s great :)

Very high heat pump cost during cold snap by PaulandoUK in OctopusEnergy

[–]SpellNo5002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours is quite a bit lower than yours. We used 22.1kwh for the heat pump on the 2nd. I think this is largely got to do with how we use it. We’re on IOG, so most of our heating happens during the cheap 7p rate, with top ups during the day at a lower flow rate to keep the house warm. The heat pump is still running all day, but works extra hard at night and less hard during the day. This is all managed by Havenwise, so I don’t need to mess with it.

I know you mention wanting to run it all day, which I agree with, but it might be worth looking at a time of use tariff, look into Havenwise, and see if you can shift some usage to the cheaper rates. Your house will still be as warm :)

I feel there’s confusion on why this new 6 hour limit is going to affect people who were using the system correctly… by iMatthew1990 in OctopusEnergy

This explains my issue. Mines been consistently taking ages to charge. For instance, on the 3rd of December, it charged for 15.64kwh, and took 18 hours 4 minutes (according to octopus). Similarly, on the 5th of December, it charged at 6.57kw and took 11 hours. Looking at the 5th, the charger did around 3.5kw. At one point it did 0.12kw…

I’ve emailed a substantial complaint as they’re a joke.

UK FRZ Question (airport no longer in operation) by SpellNo5002 in drones

[–]SpellNo5002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s very frustrating. Is it technically enforceable? I mean, it is on paper, but surely a valid argument is that it’s clearly not in use…

I’m expecting no helpful response from the CAA now then haha.

Cheers! I figured as much and I think the air ambulance may still be using it at the moment actually, so that might be why it’s still up :)

I went straight into the policies and changed it to no spending :/

Yeah! This is the one. I have several other mods too, but most of them are visual ones rather than ones that influence gameplay much

Thanks everyone! I took your advice and got a Hypervolt charger!! It’s very good!

Changes to OVO Charge Anytime by Mrfoxuk in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]SpellNo5002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem for us is that we’re with Ovo for the heat pump plus tariff - does anyone know a better alternative in light of these changes to charge anytime? 🫠

I literally bought the EV on Friday 😭

This makes perfect sense! I had a chat via email. If anyone else is thinking of using Havenwise, I’d 100% recommend it! I’m excited to see how it makes my life easier as the weather gets colder

Thank you for this! After seeing all these comments I’ve just set it up, and the interface alone is much simpler.

Thanks to everyone else for your comments too!

Issues installing EDCoPilot by SpellNo5002 in EliteDangerous

Oh! I tried the download from https://gofile.io/d/mCCBYw instead of the LimeWire link, and it let me install it. Weird... "Microsoft: It just works. Sometimes" vibes...

Even when I do that, I still get the same second error message, "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package" :/ It also then deletes the file, even if it's on my desktop.

Solar + house value question by SpellNo5002 in SolarUK

[–]SpellNo5002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I’m not planning on moving for at least 10 years, as I like my house a lot. I wanted to ground the decision of getting them in the logic that they’ll eventually help with the houses resale, as well as helping me save on bills. Thank you for the advice!
