The Webb sewer destructor lamp does NOT run on sewer gas. The burner uses ordinary natural gas to cause an updraught to pull on the sewer acting like a ventilator before the days of electric fans. There are other genuine Webb lamps elsewhere in the country. This one is not a genuine Webb lamp but a copy of a previously 'listed' lamp that was cobbled together when the genuine lamp was knocked down by a lorry before the days of listing and when it was knocked down again after listing it had to be rebuilt to match the listed status. I should know, we made it at Sugg Lighting.

ive got an old back boiler and I understand it uses more gas however I have maintained my boiler over 30 years and had 1 circulation pump 2 mixer valves and 3 thermocoples which is much cheaper than 4 new boilers 8 circuit boards and 8 fans so in my calculation by keeping my old boiler I am greener

Air Source Heat Pump are becoming popular in Europe, the EU and local council are subsidized home owners, but... I don't think it is as efficient as advertised and promoted. With cold and freezing winters it will not work on its own. No way.

Finally uploads of system evaluations over a long(er) period! I live rural in a 1840s house. Installed my own simple oil boiler but with a Hewlett-Packard computer regulating a heatvalve.I have internal and external sensors to regulate my preference in heat/comfort in different places in the house. Not only did it operate, without any major maintenance, beautifully already 25+ years, I have now parts for years to come, as all my (distant) neighbours are kicking them out, installing al these new fancy complex systems! The only negative point is, literally no plumber can or will help me out, if something fails. When i bought the HP, it was already 5 years laying on the builders merchant's shelf, as no plumber knew how to install it. As a futurist, i saw this crisis coming, the blind government helping the blind consumer, meaning a load of money for mr one eye!

@car7productions731 4 сағат бұрын
The basic numbers don't support heat pumps. Around 50% of UK electricity is from fossil fuels. Every extra EV and heat pump increases electricity demand and therefore ff usage. Heat pumps may achieve a 3:1 in to out but 2/3 of the energy is lost at the power station - you would be better off burning the gas at home. Typical Government policy - push devices that use electricity but no plan to create more electricity. We would need around 6 times as much "clean" energy to move heating and transport to electricity. Their focus should be on solar. Every building should have it. The sun doesn't always shine but when it does you get very cheap electricity and that means less expensive FF being used, less dependence on the middle east. Build them here and create good manufacturing jobs.

@SkillBuilder 5 сағат бұрын
I am not so sure that the original installer or the ones who came afterwards were that bad, I just think there are so many variables to consider. The manufacturers are also feeling their way. The heating industry is a strange beast because people sell components but not systems. If I want to build a new computer I can tell the supplier what I want to achieve in terms of my use (editing H256 video) and they will spec every component to build a machine that does the job. Boiler manufacturers leave all that to the installer and give no real guidance. What we really need is a plug and play system that reads the house heat losses and works it all out. Right now the heat loss calculation is critical to the success. I had an email last week from a guy who has spent £18,000 and has a system that doesn't heat his house and costs a fortune to run. The installer is saying that the problem is that the pipes under the floor are too small and they don't replace pipework. You need that information before you lay out £18,000 and the government should not be pushing heat pumps before it has worked out what to do about the misselling. I can see compensation claims in the future.

I have three words for you: night storage heaters. They use cheap overnight electricity, maintain a steady ambient temp (my home varies by less than 2C over a 24 hour period) and cost nothing to maintain. My heaters were installed in the late 1980s and have cost me ZERO in maintenance for the last 31 years that I've been living with them.

ANSWER: To anybody who wishes to listen,.while gas is cheap, keep the gas boiler. SIMPLE! When the gas becomes expensive or it runs out,.. 1. Get electric elements for each hot tap, INSTANT hot water! (these cost about £68 each, about 1p cost to fill a sink, maybe 3 pence to have a shower. LESS THAN 1.5p per minute to run these INSTANT hot water elements. Get out of the habit of having an expensive bath....or not, your choice) 2. Get 500watt (1kwh = 1000watts, = 24.5p) electric fan heaters WITH THERMOSTATS for each room required (cost about £15 each) Plug 24hr timers into each socket and plug the 500kwh heater into the timer (12p per hr to run each heater) so they turn ON and OFF as and when you require having set the timer. KEEP THE DOORS SHUT! Note: 12p per hour to run each heater when on! Now, the number of kwh's to run the SMALLEST heat Pump plus its Compressor AND fans is 3. That's 24.5p per kwh x 3 = 73.5p per hour. IN WINTER IT'S RUNNING 24 HOURS AND YOUR HOUSE WON'T BE WARM ENOUGH and that's... 0.735p per hour, £17.64 per day, £123.48 per week in winter...AND YOU WON'T BE WARM!!!

We commissioned a Potton (Kingspan) SIP house. We broke ground in October 2022 and moved in to a completed home on 1st August 2023. Other comments about detailing are absolutely correct. I personally - as the homeowner, not builder - attended to the door-window to panel joins, sealing the VCL with expensive tapes. Typical trades do not appreciate the importance of air tightness so the plumbers were forbidden from drilling any holes in the external walls and every hole the electricians drilled eg. from loft into the utility space in the panels, was filled from both sides. We also went ASHP - UFH - Solar PV - Battery - MVHR, all with no gas. The net result was an EPC of 104 (A+). Our heating & cooling bill for March through October was £171.

Heat pumps do not work well in this country. Same as solar panels. They only work well part of the time. The rest of the time. ie when it’s cold wet and cloudy which is when you need it the most. That’s the reason why so many schools and council offices had to shut down last year in the cold weather because they didn’t work well enough. Think really hard before you invest in one. It will cost you a lot more maintain and will leave you cold in the winter. Best to keep your gas boiler as back up if you do. Which kind of defeats the object 🤷
