Most likely reason being the boiler was massively over-sized at 18kW, only being able to modulate down to 5kW, whereas I calculated the home heat lost at -2C of about 5.5kW.

So the boiler cycled constantly except in the coldest conditions. Nameplate efficiency != Installed efficiency.

Who knew...

This makes sense to me, when I was modelling the ROI before my heat pump was installed I used the manufacturer efficiency of the gas boiler of 89.9% and heat pump of 365%. This meant a 4x efficiency gain and a spark gap problem. As it is the boiler was probably more like 75% efficient.

No, a government doesn't decide what is or isn't a crime, Parliament decides that and each Parliament does not get to re-write all criminal code in each term.

Honestly this conversation is going no-where. Have a nice day.

I disagree, if there is a crime it needs to be treated as a crime, not politics.

As no evidence of a crime has been presented, I'm just asking for evidence, but there appears to be none.

Being arrested is not guilt, who has been convicted?

If it's a crime the CPS will do it for you, also a group could provide support, no?

Who has been jailed for speaking? Of course there are hate speech laws, are you saying those should be repealed?

Okay so please take them to court, better than whining about it, agreed?

09.02.2026 12:42 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

Okay, if they are actually guilty of a crime of course, but there is no evidence of criminality, is there?

09.02.2026 11:13 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I'm outraged by the people who actually did those acts, yes.

I'm not faux outraged about people who didn't.

It's not about Starmer, try reading my actual comment

Not able to see the woods for the trees, enjoy the faux outrage.

Worse than a candidate that appointed someone who is convinced for taking Russian bribes?

There will always be a scandal around the corner, no matter what group is in power, no team is squeaky clean.

UK politics is descending into Facebook faux outrage pushing us to change PMs faster than our underpants.

It's moronic and is only hurting ourselves. It's not that I'm a fan of Starker, but we need stability FFS

Sorry to break it to you I just saw on Tork TV that the latest cost of Net Zero is now ยฃ20 bazillion dollars.

Apparently someone was commissioned to write a report about how expensive it would be, after using the 1, 2, miss-a-few, 99, 100 method, it came out expensive!!111!!!

I'm a strong supporter, but if this is nameplate capacity it's a bit misleading

I worked in procurement for decades, we often set savings targets.

I can tell you that if I had claimed a saving based on not doing a project that was never approved in the first place, I would have been in big trouble.

He will be that same pub oracle who said Brexit would stop immigration and thinks we need to just give Nige a chance.

Yeah, we need to use more electricity not less, it needs a subsidy not added policy costs.

Around 35% of global shipping is moving fossil fuels around, and it consumes, more fossil fuels to do that.

There will be a positive feedback loop from reducing the stuff.

Perhaps past data is not a good indicator of current and future performance.

My HP experience has been excellent, the SPF so far exceeded the manufacturer data sheet and it's cheaper to run than gas.

It's a very standard form of accounting practice

Mine has done 3.59 in Jan 2026, it's not a perfect installation from an efficiency perspective, and we heat to 23C.
