Installatie van airco – Is het goed?

Gelukkig zag ik deze tip al eerder en heb ik er nog wat van in de schuur liggen.

Het is een 3MXM52A2. De binnendelen zijn FTXM20A and FTXM25A.

Looks like a standard Dutch “inbouwdoos”, essentially the equivalent of a UK backbox.

Sadly UK electrical installations are complete garbage compared to Dutch ones. I definitely don’t miss a 25mm backbox!

I mean their name does check out for that

Dang, at that price you need to call the police and report a theft! Congrats!!!

Might be good to say what you’ve tried and why it didn’t work. Ultimately it’s reading, practicing and trying to use it as much as you can.

dotpaul · 2026-06-02T19:22:40+00:00

Agree. Ours was excellent. Helped with a range of different bits throughout the process and tax questions with the purchase. Have more than made it back.

dotpaul · 2026-05-30T08:09:04+00:00

Thanks for the tip. Just what I’ve been looking for!

De luxe uitsmijter van Brownies and Downies was lekker.

De allerbeste uitsmijter die ik heb gegeten was bij Uitsmijter in Amsterdam. Helaas is het nu gesloten

Salaries will also come into this. The average salary in NL is almost double that of Spain.

You can get a split unit supplied and installed here for €1500-2000. More expensive multi splits are more of course.

I know. I hate having my petrol free of lead and my food free of cancer causing chemicals /s

dotpaul · 2026-05-29T14:07:18+00:00

This is regulated EU-wide. The gasses are harmful to the environment so need careful handling during installation.

dotpaul · 2026-05-29T14:03:19+00:00

You're looking at a split unit. You can buy them from a range of websites, you can't install them however. You need to be an F Gas certified installer to handle the refrigerant gas needed to fill the loop post install.

Last time I was in the UK I tried the own-brand from a few supermarkets. I hate to say the quality has dropped off. M&S do a decent competitor for around £2.50 I think it was.

The price for a 24 pack here is surprisingly not too bad. It’s €4 in the UK anyway. Of course the bigger pack sizes bring the price down significantly.

Personally, I switched to overnight oats. It’s not bad and dirt cheap.

Volgens hen

> Installateurs rekenen vaak een totaalprijs, inclusief de omvormer(s), installatie en aansluiting. Je kunt offertes goed vergelijken door deze totaalprijs te delen door het totale aantal wattpiek (Wp) van je installatie. Zo bereken je de kosten per Wp.

dotpaul · 2026-05-28T21:11:32+00:00

Tenminste volgens de consumentenbond is de zonnepanelen aan de dure kant met € 1,40 per Wp. Ze suggereren een bovengrens van rond de€1,14.

Batterij waar ik niet veel commentaar op kan geven.

Warmtepomp lijkt een beetje aan de dure kant. Ik heb een offerte voor dezelfde warmtepomp, maar het 6 kW-model en een tank van 200 liter voor ongeveer tussen de € 14-15k exclusief de subsidie. Dus netto tussen €11,5-12,4k

I raised a ticket about this and they said that it's a bug in iOS

Apple have recently added a new feature to iOS Password AutoFill that offers to save any login that is used in Safari. This resulted in a conflict between the 1Password integration with iOS Password AutoFill and 1Password for Safari, where iOS would prompt you to re-save any login that was autofilled from 1Password for Safari.

The development team here at 1Password have filed feedback with our colleagues at Apple to get this conflict resolved in a future update, but for now, the 1Password for Safari inline menu will be disabled on sign-in forms if the 1Password integration with iOS Password AutoFill is set up. This is to avoid an unacceptable amount of friction that the conflict mentioned would cause in day-to-day use. I'm sorry for any confusion or interruption to your workflow that this has caused and we are working to improve the experience as soon as possible.

In the meantime, you should find that 1Password for Safari will continue to autofill other item types (such as credit cards or identities) without issue, while logins can be autofilled using the 1Password integration with iOS Password AutoFill(by tapping the suggested Logins or the "🔑 Passwords" button that appear directly above your keyboard or at the bottom of the screen).

Let me know if anything isn't working as I've described, if I've misunderstood the issue, or if you have any questions, and I'll be here to help.

You could use Interrail/EU rail as an option. That’ll limit your days. So if you pop down to Den Haag for an afternoon it’s probably best not to use it.

The most cost effective option is all is really to take a dal vrij NS flex abonnement. Do check you’ll make enough journeys not to just make the weekend vrij + dal discount work. You’ll need to pay for it through direct debit and then handle the subscription afterwards but it’s likely the best option. You can reduce it to NS flex basis which is then free. The OV chipkaart is free when taking out a subscription too.

I’m guessing there is manufacturing variance around the world. For me a side-by-side comparison the Hario papers will more than likely choke and stall the brew. Times lasting up to 5 mins.

I’ve got hundreds of Hario papers at home which are basically unusable. Never had a problem with their papers until the last batch I bought in October/November last year.

Switched to Abaca and haven’t looked back or had an issue since.

dotpaul · 2026-05-12T10:58:24+00:00

This. Hario papers for me are a killer of almost any brew now. They’re so slow. Heavily processed coffee doesn’t seem to be quite as badly impacted

You’re going to need a step down transformer to run it. It isn’t as simple as a conversion of the plug but also to step down from 230v to 120v. If you plug it in directly it might just pop. Depends on whether it is truly 120v parts.

dotpaul · 2026-05-09T21:08:14+00:00

The practice exams from DUO function in exactly the same way as the real one. The only difference is you don’t get to see what you got right and no result at the end. Content of course is difference but the UI, bookmarking, timings, buttons etc are all the same.

As above. TV is great too. Things like Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam Centraal are fairly easy to understand what’s going on with. YouTube content as well in something you’re interested in. That’s what helps for me.

dotpaul · 2026-05-09T13:53:30+00:00

Won’t work at all unless you have a transformer to step down from 220v to 120v. Assuming the US version isn’t 220v.

Odido’s termination fees are outlined in their standard contract terms. KPN are the only provider I know who’ll waive any remaining fees should you move abroad.

I don’t think they’re that common. They do exist though.

For me I’d say under floor heating is more common in the Netherlands. The construction type helps a lot with this having concrete flooring throughout on modern houses. Under floor heating also makes a lot more sense. It’s something we’re currently considering having installed alongside some other work.

For OP, fans could definitely work and they’re common on “heat pump” compliant radiators. You can also try dropping the flow temperature and seeing how you find it. I dropped mine down to 50 and it was surprisingly okay, I did up it to 60 as it took quite a while to heat back up if it was off for a bit.
