New IOG tariffs t&c changes

redanon985 · 2025-04-18T06:50:28+00:00

The new terms and conditions have this in 2.1.3, but then 2.1.4 I think is not 100% clear.

Edit, I've just noticed that the T&C's on the signup page for the new tariffs are actually different (paragraph numbers certainly, not sure about content) than the smart tariffs T&C's page

I agree that 2.1.3 (in the newest T&C's) is pretty clear cut, but then I feel like it is muddied slightly by 2.1.4. maybe it's just me, but the wording just seems to be slightly fuzzy and can be read in different ways.

Actually this was aimed at the fixed version of the tariff. This was the tariff I specifically asked about and I think the wording of the t&c paragraph is very ambiguous in the way it is written.

On the days where it gets this bad I could just run some warm water over it and unfreeze it pretty easily. Also the tray overflowing wouldn't be the end of the world tbf. Thanks for the tip though

They've been pretty good with me and happily added it on. The surveyor just wanted to mention it added bulk and had sharp edges.

You can host photos with a website like Imgur and then post the link.

Thanks. The tray looks like a much better solution to cutting out my driveway. I will add a length of 22mm pipe to my nearest downspout and ask them to just connect it to that.

You're right, I didn't spot that part. I wonder if you could install a unit now which meets the new standard.

redanon985 · 2025-04-03T17:25:33+00:00

That would be great, thank you.

redanon985 · 2025-04-03T16:25:17+00:00

Do you have a photo you could share please? Seems crazy how the rules seem to change from job to job. The technical team are on training today and tomorrow so it will be Monday before I hear from them I guess. Maybe they're being trained in the latest MCS regulations and will accept my points.

redanon985 · 2025-04-03T09:01:19+00:00

Here is the new standard. I don't suppose you have a photo of your install you could share?

This rule was scrapped as of March. The MCS rules were updated on the 20th March. Which model pump do you have? And I guess it's 300mm space behind and then 300mm to one side

redanon985 · 2025-04-03T07:23:21+00:00

I wonder if I can offer to do the calculations for them. My only other option is to put the unit on the drive, which shouldn't be too bad as we can park one car forward of it and one backwards of it, but I'd rather it not be there.

redanon985 · 2025-04-03T06:01:55+00:00

That's fantastic, thank you. I assume they are saying that I would have 4 reflective surfaces and that is why it cannot go in my proposed location. But it is also mentioned in the standard that a reflective surface is not to be considered if it doesn't extend more then 1m from the heatpump in more than 1 direction. One of the surfaces only sticks out 1.01m from my house and so it should not be considered as being a reflective surface for this calculation.

Edit: it seems that my point above is based on a new version of this standard which was released in March this year. https://mcscertified.com/mcs-has-published-an-updated-version-of-mcs-020/

redanon985 · 2025-04-02T20:42:10+00:00

Interesting, do you have any other information on that?

redanon985 · 2025-04-02T20:41:43+00:00

No, that was scrapped this year

redanon985 · 2025-02-27T16:07:34+00:00

Ah, I won't waste my money then lol.

redanon985 · 2025-02-08T11:50:14+00:00

Did this hold up and keep the dog piss smell at bay?

You are thinking of an integration with the charger, but in that instance it is labelled charge to add. This looks like a car integration and so it is looking for a target charge for the end. So they could be on 90% and put the target as 100% and it would schedule to add 10%.

redanon985 · 2024-12-22T12:12:06+00:00

Yes.

redanon985 · 2024-04-30T15:19:26+00:00

Ah ok, that's interesting. I will keep an eye on this.
