Re: Air Source Heat Pump Systems

I have one and find it expensive. It is quite old though. When it is freezing outside it takes an eternity to get up to 18 degrees. I had it on 23 last winter all day and it never went over 18. You have to put it up high to get it to 20. Drives me mad. It is also on the outside wall next to the tel...

Thanks all.

I am also looking at battery storage as I would like to run my house using my cheap rate tariff that I get with having my EV.

I understand that technology more so.

Sounds like that may be the priority over ASHP.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.

I'm always a little wary when we sign players who've been highly rated in their youth, but for whatever reason haven't realised their potential. A little like Bastien last year, those players need a run in the team to begin to show what they're capable of, yet they're often brought in as squad play...
