Not sure I like this

I can understand why but not sure about it makes you realise the losses must be bad 

I have only gone and done it

Time passes

 One of those things 

Vaillant AroTherm Plus 7K cooling

I like many other have had installed the cooling resistor. And like many others have had issues getting it to work. This is a collection of others suggestions to getting it working Cooling needs to be enabled on the ASHP controller too. In my case that is via the Unitower panel’s “installer level/configuration/cooling technology/“ setting which should be “active cooling”. I think I have found the issue! There is a setting called ESCO (Energy Supply Company) under “Settings > Installer > Installation” This was set to “Cooling Off”. It was my understanding that ESCO was used by electricity supply companies to disable curtains appliances if there was an energy shortage. It would appear that this is not the case or doesn’t work as settings the ESCO setting to Cooling Off disables cooling on the AroTherm Plus. “ Define what you want to deactivate when the signal is sent by the energy supply company. The selection remains deactivated until the energy supply company cancels the signal. The heat generator ignores the deactivation signal as soon as the frost protection function is active.” On another note does anyone have any good experience setting up cooling for Underfloor heating with a 100mm concrete slab? Minimum Flow Temp. Etc etc??? We have natural wood floors so I am a little concerned about condensation which could cause the floors to cup ( warp) Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Heat pump service

had my vailent areotherm serivced and look what was found in the catch filter.

no wonder the flow rate was low but not quite enough to stop the heatpump from working.

Air source heat pump install

Today is the day my air source heat pump install starts 

Meal out

So today we  popped into The Lodecka pub for a quick meal in the garden as after partial lockdown easing this is as much as one can do
