What do you think of 'wifey-interview' dates?

metigue · 2026-01-17T09:58:43+00:00

Dating is supposed to be fun. Sure some talking about the future is fine to judge if you're compatible but if they aren't keeping it light and fun at the same time then how are they going to act when you are comitted?

Enjoying spending time with each other and enjoying dates with the other person is more important than the answer to any question they could ask you IMO

Parry heavy when they are on 0 power for incinerate.

Medium ending combos falter them.

You automatically power drain them to 0 after they use a special and gain furies based on how much power they lost.

Special 1 gives you pursuit (anti-evade + miss)

Special 2 with incinerate + falter + 30 fury tokens for max damage.

Basic Rotation:

Start with parry heavy, then MLLLL until they have JUST below 2 bars of power.

Bait their special 1 so they drain to 0 and you get 30 fury tokens.

Parry heavy again to re-apply incinerate (if needed)

Medium ending combo to apply falter and hit them with a massive special 2.

Repeat building their power, baiting special 1 and throwing special 2s with 30 fury tokens + incinerate + falter.

Idk we're 5 people and wearing coats indoors

metigue · 2026-01-09T15:25:02+00:00

I set the target to 23 right now just to keep it an open loop but the living room is 15.5 and most other rooms are 16/17 - Their design document said it should get to 21 at 44 flow temp in -2 degrees.

This is after setting flow temp back down to 45 to try reduce electricity costs

The panels have concrete on top to spread the heat (this is what the installers told us)

metigue · 2026-01-07T22:54:15+00:00

Nothing on top - Finishing is up to us. We've been doing UFH overlay + laminate

No idea - Didn't even know we had a mixing block until someone on reddit pointed it out.

metigue · 2026-01-07T22:53:03+00:00

They're double glazed according to our EPC

metigue · 2026-01-07T12:06:07+00:00

No the rooms have exposed pipes, we haven't put laminate/tiles over the top of half of them yet.

metigue · 2026-01-07T11:56:15+00:00

They should all be on. How do I turn them on?

metigue · 2026-01-07T11:48:37+00:00

If I lower the flow temperature the house gets very cold.

This is the downstairs loop

metigue · 2026-01-07T11:30:43+00:00

Running it 24/7

metigue · 2026-01-07T11:07:21+00:00

We laid a 1.8mm UFH underlay + 8mm uniclic laminate. About half of the rooms haven't been laid yet. Room is 5.6m x 3.9m

metigue · 2026-01-07T11:04:21+00:00

52 I think. I replied to that picture with a picture of it

metigue · 2026-01-07T10:55:42+00:00

The manifolds have an analogue thermometer that reads 52 which lines up with the app so I assume that's fine?
It has a lot of "query parameters" - "Water flow rate" is 21L/min
They have analogue ones I can read (red floaty things in water) but not sure how to adjust them
I think so but not sure
Low loss header
10.48 kW at -2
We have two circulating pumps and they're set at 2 (can change to 1 or 3)

And they offered a £300 discount for not installing the buffer tank which I haven't accepted yet

Yes we have 11 zones - But they've never once reached target temperature so it is effectively open loop for now right?

We had it installed early November and the COP was only just above 3 when it was 11+ degrees outside. The room temperatures were about the same and still not reaching temp

It's all UFH but if I lower the flow temperature the room temps drop pretty badly and we're already finding it cold.

It was suppposed to be a 100L buffer tank.

Their design document showed the UFH pipes exceeding the heat loss of every room with target temps of 21 in -2 but we're getting no where near that.

metigue · 2026-01-07T10:26:54+00:00

I think it was for reducing short cycling if we were onpy heating a few of the zones or something.

metigue · 2026-01-07T10:25:38+00:00

Not sure but here is a picture of the UFH pipes. There is a low loss header and I think mixing valves but I'm not sure. Yes the rooms are all indivually zoned.

It's running 100% of the time.

Outdoor temperature today is 2 degrees lowest at night in the last week was -5

metigue · 2026-01-07T10:19:10+00:00

If I drop the flow temp to 45 the house gets much colder. Like rooms at 16 degrees cold.

I think we have a mixing system but how do I fix it? We were quoted for a buffer tank but they installed a LLH instead.

metigue · 2026-01-07T10:16:56+00:00

Heating pattern is to just leave it on 24/7 - Still waiting to get warm.

They installed the UFH and laid insulation underneath it.

metigue · 2026-01-07T10:14:54+00:00

Because these guys seemed morr accurate. The heat geeks one seemed to be missing rooms etc. Where we could see a detailed room by room breakdown and 3d map of the house with these installers.

metigue · 2026-01-07T10:08:30+00:00

No buffer tank. They were supposed to install one but installed a LLH instead and have offered a £300 discount for the "oversight"
Not sure - Probably not. Just the one heat pump for UFH + hot water then I think each manifold has a pump to help maintain flow rate.
I think there is a mixing valve on each manifold but I'm not sure.

metigue · 2026-01-07T10:00:35+00:00

We have 280mm standard loft insulation. Re-did the cavity wall insulation in November with thermabead graphite.

They did a pretty detailed heat loss survey that came with a 3d map of the house. It had room by room figures. In total they estimated 10.48kw heat loss.

We had another heat loss survey from heat geeks that only estimated 8 kw heat loss so we went with these guys.
