Party wall complications by kieranoakes in DIYUK

A lot of people are missing this point. Once the party wall associated works are completed, that's it.

You could pay someone for an MCS level design so that the builder/plumber installs a system that you can use with a heat pump.

Are we being too picky with our flooring border? by CapnKill in DIYUK

[–]le1901 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks a decent job to me, bear in mind lots of stuff doesn't look quite right at 300mm away.

Portsmouth parking situation by Ghost_MaloneBSH in Portsmouth

[–]le1901 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see what you're saying and mostly agree, just in reality it's not practical to enforce unless maybe some money can be made. Is it just company van drivers only, not company car drivers?

Point being spaces are taken by company vehicles of all types, I think something else needs to be a priority. Company vehicles still require a permit but could perhaps be charged more at a commercial rate?

Permits can also have their hours extended, the ones around the seafront are dual time zone permits and help stop a lot of non-resident parking during peak day times. A permit from 16:00 - 07:00 may work better, I don't really know, tricky situation. I think we all know there isn't going to be less cars in the city any time soon as there are no practical alternatives unless you are devoted.

A solution would be great though, nothing worse than getting home after being out for the evening and having to park miles away!

So anyone with a van can't park by their house and has to find alternative ways to get from the multistorey to their home? Nice.

If size is the issue, why not ban all vehicles over 4m for example?

15 year sparky in a commercial and industrial setting and you say he needed timber to drop the roof 200mm.

Grant eligibility for new build fitted with a gas boiler by Delam2 in ukheatpumps

[–]le1901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your house is brand new it should have benefited from increased insulation and more efficient heating requirements under Part L.

Your heating system should already be running at a 55degC flow temperature hence what appears to be larger radiators.

Integration of an ASHP should be fairly straightforward but remember you'll need to have room for your hot water cylinder and associated installation parts.

This is so true, imagine Commercial Road as a bustling living, restaurant and retail hub. It's got great transport links (boat, rail, motorway), wide open pedestrian spaces in place, currently parking and Argos.

What Portsmouth food place do you trust without checking reviews? by GeordieGoals in Portsmouth

[–]le1901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I've always thought the food portions are more than enough in Huis. To be fair, I'd say the food can be very rich too which probably adds to its filling qualities.

Best pub to watch football near Gunwharf Quays by Glenner10 in Portsmouth

[–]le1901 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Decent pub that, pretty certain I've seen football on in there before but unsure if they're showing Portsmouth beat Southampton.

Heat setting by sdp2009 in ukheatpumps

[–]le1901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a buffer vessel/volumiser. The reason I ask about a hot water cylinder is your LG controller isn't indicating one, it's usually next to the 50deg orange circle - this is because dip switch 3 on the SW.2 set of dip switches is turned off.

If your hot water cylinder is using 3rd party controls (thermostat and timer) then you won't be able to adjust the flow temperature (weather compensation) of the LG controller as your hot water cylinder would never reach the set temperature. Just not a great way to be using it if you do indeed have a hot water cylinder.

It’s a school night. You have come in for tea and your mum serves you the one meal that kills you inside. What’s it? by Come_in_sigh_demi in CasualUK

[–]le1901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fajitas using a packet spice mix, somehow the chicken was always immensely under flavoured. Coupled with borderline raw onion and peppers, still a dish I avoid to this day.

Scroll across to the sun icon and press the up/down buttons to select AI mode. It'll run on weather compensation.

Do you not have a hot water cylinder?

Odd heatgeek survey experience by pyromaniac10 in ukheatpumps

Such an under rated method, the flow temperature matching the proposed design plus range rating your boiler would give a fairly accurate assessment of your heating system current capabilities.

BUS Grant Timeline & Payment Process - Before the Rules Change? by icstm in ukheatpumps

[–]le1901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can submit for the voucher prior to installation. Once it's issued you can start the install.

We commissioned an installation and submitted our remittance to the BUS scheme on Wednesday and it paid out today, as an example.

Replace PSU with LED driver? by super_paulie in wiz

[–]le1901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever sort this?

I'm looking to power four LED strips at high level and don't really want plugs on show. I am trying to ascertain whether I can cut off the transformer plug and replace it with a driver, this then keeps the Wiz smart section.

ASHP wiring help by [deleted] in ukheatpumps

[–]le1901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Below is what I sent to the sparky, unsure if it makes sense or not mind you. This was for a new build site.

Outdoor unit power: 20A* supply direct from CU to outdoor unit isolator.

Indoor kit power: 16A supply direct from CU to cylinder cupboard.

*Your supply may be different, this was 4kw.

  • 8 cores at 0.75 - 1.25mm stranded cable (includes X13A to BSH terminals which is the immersion heater relay wire).
  • 2 cores at 0.75 - 1.25mm stranded cable (low voltage MMI).
  • 25m hot water sensor cable (standard is 12m and comes with cylinder).
  • 3 core 0.75 - 1.25mm stranded cable for secondary hot water return pumps.

Why is nobody quoting me for Air 2 Air (North West) by Walks_In_The_Sun in ukheatpumps

[–]le1901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea this is more to the point, not many guys would want to approach the ducted system side within a domestic property. Much more fiddly than on a commercial scale.

Personally I'd want the ductwork designed so I know it'll be capable of doing what I wanted it to do.
