Hello there... I have two Altherma high temp heat pumps (16kW & 14kW) that trip out every few days. Our installer did start looking at it and gave me some waffle about blocked strainers, but then we had a 'disagreement' about charges for some other work blah-blah-blah and more or less I'm...

Hi I have a Kensa ground source heat pump which is currently telling me I have low ground pressure. The manual helpfully tells me to 'top up the pressure using the filing valve towards the back right of the unit'. Does anyone have one of these units and if so could they describe what this...

Hi, Has anyone got a simple schematic for a system that uses a system boiler & Air source heat pump? It early morning and I cant get my head around it at the moment. The client will want the system boiler to cut in if the air source pump cant meet the demand in winter months. Cheers! Martin

Hi all After checking jobs for the week I see the office have booked me in to a customer who has a Danfoss DHP-AX heat pump. She has had ongoing problems with the unit cutting out and displaying 'low pressure' error. Another company has tried to fix (only info is - replaced filters, altered...

We are looking at air-water heat pump options. One of those is to build an old oil fired Rayburn into the solution. The Rayburn is a Royal OF7 - very basic oil burner with a manual control. It currently ticks over on the lowest setting all year round, providing space heating to the room and...

I fitted my first one of these just before Christmas and apart from the refrigeration side of things it was just the same as a standard combi swap. The boiler foot print on the wall is the same as any combi although it does stand off the wall about 180mm more than the average combi. I have only...

Are we allowed to install these or do with have to be mcs or some other scam ?

Have been asked to quote to fit the above in a house . Have done them all individually or linking two out of three but usually with gas or electric back up. the only time have see all three linked (not by me ) the customer was complaining about lack of hot water from their thermal store...

I was thinking about broadening my horizons and start looking into doing an air or ground source heat pump course. Anyone know a place in Bristol also if you guys recon its worth it?

How many are replacing with dedicated heat pump cylinders like the dimplex or gledhill large surface area coils, or have you found that you can piggy back a standard & solar coil to achieve a similar result. If a heat pump cylinder, which do you prefer? Thanks in advance

Good evening, a question for the experts! What air and water temperatures should be used when calculating heat pump sizes? Thanks in advance len

Hi we have a large garage and small office on the bottom of the garden, there is no gas only electricity. I'm thinking about fitting under floor heating powered by the air heat pump as i already have one 8.9 kw(left over from above ground swimming pool need to check if this is suitable for...

Hi there.. I had a new central heating installed (air to water) and it runs thru my radiators. However it kept complaining of Error AE on display. So, we had an extra pump installed to help with the circulation. That helped somewhat -- half of the radiators used to be cold, now they are all luke...

Hi to all, my first post. Sorry that this post will probably appear as one huge paragraph but for some reason or other my keyboard return key won't do anything on this forum :-( Anyway, I'm about to purchase said heat pump and having studied the wiring diagrams am getting my brain in a knot...
