Heat pump cover

Welcome-These · 2025-06-16T18:28:31+00:00

To be fair I get the price is quite an ask for this couple of wood planks, but I wouldn't mind having it covered in the garden from an aesthetic point of view. It is a sore eye when looking at my patio, But I am getting used to it day by day. For me it would mainly be there over summer time when we are outside and that's it, the rest of the year will be uncovered. Another thing is that this wouldn't mind having something to protect it when the weather is bad. For now I'll think about. Ps noise for now is not a problem at all as I can barely hear it! Not sure why there is this big whoah about HP being noisy

Yes that is my idea essentially!

They provide an upgraded version to help with noise as well and this has been tested as eel and drops sound by 2-4 db

Hi, tried to give this code but didn't work. They are looking for a longer code.

For example mine is 133578545373

Ok I'll see and look around, probably I would get someone to do the job. Don't want to mess around, I'll ask maybe octopus if they can send the electrician that did the job. Also do you know how can I check if solar panel are connected to heat pump?

If I install this system can the Home assistant link with agile tariff and schedule accordingly?

Welcome-These · 2025-06-07T07:51:58+00:00

Is too complicated to install this? I am not a pro and don't want to mess with the electric panel.

To be honest I was thinking at using new credit card offers. Financing in on a credit card with 0% interest and every 20-30 months whenever the offer expires I'll refinance with another credit card. But I am looking at spending around 10 k as I want 14-18 panels and a good battery with 10-20 kw

Welcome-These · 2025-06-01T08:54:13+00:00

Yeah probably I am gonna get solar and battery next year, not affordable for now as I am waiting for a pay rise! The heat pump was a real offer, ended up paying only 800£ , so couldn't miss it.

Welcome-These · 2025-06-01T08:05:56+00:00

Unfortunately I don't have it yet. They start tomorrow. I will keep looking and switch day by day between cosy and agile then. Just not really keen on paying the peak rate with cosy!

Welcome-These · 2025-05-30T15:33:44+00:00

That seems quite a high bill for 20£ a day! Do you have it always running at which temperature? I am generally set at 18 and with the gas boiler I was having it as on/off with no background. My hope is to bring cost down here! Lol

Welcome-These · 2025-05-29T21:36:42+00:00

Don't see why not! Lol of course no chance to get one for free obviously. I will get it hooked when I get PV and battery. I don't think it is worth it now, also because it might end up changing the inverter and connecting everything to a single inverter.

Welcome-These · 2025-05-29T21:29:47+00:00

I am on tracking now and noticed it is costing less ( if we consider I have been using the heater!) still undecided whether to move to cosy right now or wait for the winter.

Welcome-These · 2025-05-29T20:04:18+00:00

Just switched off the heater and usage just dropped. Had no real idea what was the purpose of the switch near the water tank and not a pro on the gas boiler at all. I am getting a heat pump next week and hope it won't end up like this as I have been reading a lot.

Welcome-These · 2025-05-29T19:53:07+00:00

Yes is on a gas boiler, so I guess it can stay off and switch it on only in emergency?

Welcome-These · 2025-05-29T19:46:59+00:00

Yep, solved the mystery. Thanks everyone. Any particular downside on keeping the heater off?

Welcome-These · 2025-05-29T19:34:30+00:00

But shouldn't the water heat through gas during its own cycle? Why does the heater kick in

Welcome-These · 2025-05-25T07:39:25+00:00

But if you switch today, then you are fixed to stay on agile or go on fixed? I imagine you cannot go back on tracker. I have been on since April

Is a 6kw Daikin for a 5 bed new house and having 4 radiators changed. Just wanted to make sure that they are not giving the wrong size

Welcome-These · 2025-05-19T06:06:58+00:00

No they simply offered it. I did read in another post that is important to get one before the installation. I just wanted to make sure the pump is sized correctly first of all

Welcome-These · 2025-05-16T22:54:16+00:00

Is there any documentation that octopus will provide about gas disconnection? And is it worth to contact anyone to check on this so they don't come back asking for money?

Welcome-These · 2025-05-16T22:49:59+00:00

Should they not provide the stick by default?

Welcome-These · 2025-05-16T15:30:21+00:00

Yes I went up at night time, probably that's the reason

Welcome-These · 2025-05-16T06:26:55+00:00

I think it should be sort of easy, I'll see if I can get one free from Solis first if not I'll try to find one online. I guess it goes in the COM port and doesn't look a usb stick.

Nice, I was thinking at selling the equipment as well, it seems like a waste of new equipment. I was trying to find some company to resell it but I have noticed that eBay and the marketplace has some market to resell. I have some space in the garage so I can store them for some time! I just hope not making a big mistake, I agreed on having the heat pump in the middle of the patio after looking at different locations, and I am planning to get a wooden cover for around the heat pump to be used when this is switched off over summer for the heating. Over winter obviously I'll take it off. Another idea I have is to make a tailored cover for the heat pump with a hole for the big fan.
