So, everyone should be thanking us for the more than clement weather we&#8217;ve been having.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Little note to the manufacturer: in normal operation, it is perfectly reasonable to prevent the heating circuits to be activated if the external temperature is above 20\u00b0C.  There should be an over-ride while testing if the installation has been successful, however .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So you don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s working?!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have hot water being produced.  Currently, feeding in 4.8kWh of electrical power is giving us 19.2kWh of heat to our hot water.  Which means piping hot water for all our uses.  A hot tank stores this for when we need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do I know this?  Well, the heat pump manufacture (Viessmann) have an app and you can see what&#8217;s happening:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"138\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c5-138x300.jpg\" alt=\"A set of graphs and figures showing the energy consummed and the thermal energy provided.\" class=\"wp-image-3015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c5-138x300.jpg 138w, https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c5-768x1664.jpg 768w, https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c5-934x2024.jpg 934w, https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c5.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 138px) 100vw, 138px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The energy usage and gain.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are not in Kansas any more, Toto!

Over the summer and sunny winter days, we use a solar diverter to heat an immersion heater and that goes above 50\u00b0C.  As a type 1 diabetic, that should allow me to keep safe as well as scheduling a &#8220;hygiene session&#8221; once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looks like you&#8217;ve got what you need?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, we have been in training for this for the past couple of years with our Tado system.  We never let the house get cold, and running with cooler water is efficient even with gas doing that, we only warm the rooms we need, when we need them using a timer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the SPF (Seasonal performance Factor) for our system is good up to -5\u00b0C, we should be well catered for.  We&#8217;re in the south of England, in a suburban area, so it will only be a few moments a year we go below that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, I will give you an update in January during the dead of winter.  But at the moment, it all looks promising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the photos from the install:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2024\" height=\"935\" src=\"https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c0-2024x935.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3022\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c0-2024x935.jpg 2024w, https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c0-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c0-768x355.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2024px) 100vw, 2024px\" \/><figcaption>The back of the heat pump outside the house, going into the laundary room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2024\" height=\"935\" src=\"https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c4-2024x935.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c4-2024x935.jpg 2024w, https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c4-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c4-768x355.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2024px) 100vw, 2024px\" \/><figcaption>The hot water and heat distributor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2024\" height=\"935\" src=\"https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c1-2-2024x935.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c1-2-2024x935.jpg 2024w, https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c1-2-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c1-2-768x355.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2024px) 100vw, 2024px\" \/><figcaption>The front of the heat pump, outside the house.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2024\" height=\"935\" src=\"https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c3-1-2024x935.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c3-1-2024x935.jpg 2024w, https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c3-1-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/samjwatkins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/QHuK5a424c3-1-768x355.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2024px) 100vw, 2024px\" \/><figcaption>Pipe work from heat pump coming into the house.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And I am not talking about slaying a Scottish King to seize the throne!
