As the headlines from COP26 vanish from news-tickers, it’s a good time to reflect and take stock of our personal sustainability journey. Our air source heat pump is about to…
We have received several questions lately about our air source heat pump consumption over summer so we pulled the data to answer this question.
This article is a reply to a question asked by Endo on our air source heat pump review video on YouTube: “I assume these systems need a regular service check.…
This post is in response to an interesting question that was posed by Mark Crooks on one of our YouTube videos regarding our air source heat pump proposal and it’s…
There should be two elements that determine sustainable energy: it must not have an adverse effect on the environment and it must be produced in such a way that it…
I’ve received a number of questions about how much our central heating system upgrade set us back, so this post discusses how much our air source heat pump cost.
During the course of spring and summer we experienced very few issues with our air source heat pump. Since November, when the temperatures dropped significantly, we’ve started getting regular errors and outages, which has brought our air source heat pump’s reliability into question.
Our Caernarfon air source heat pump has now been operational since the spring. It’s time to see how it performed over the course of the past three months as part of our autumn air source heat pump review.
My personal threshold for when ambient outdoor temperatures start to go cold is 11C. Over the course of its first six months our air source heat pump has not had to work very hard. As we hit October, the average temperature has dropped to around 11C and it’s a good time to evaluate how the pump is performing.
