Battle of the #thermostat: The #science behind your #centralheating arguments
#CentralHeating
Spent the afternoon failing to replace the pump in a friend's central heating boiler. Could not shift the nuts on the pump connectors.

There's a #centralheating hashtag with not many toots.
There's a UK "community interest company" called #Depher which can be found on fedi (mastodon.social) and on other social media platforms may offer advice/help.
They do what councils used to do.
Those of you who have taken part in my #UK #centralHeating #polls (thank you!) may be interested in the summary results for 2024:

Any clever #CentralHeating folk out there?
We have a Logic Combi Esp30 boiler.
The digital display is showing c and the burner light keeps coming on.
However we have turned our thermostats off. The downstairs thermostat was set to 18degC but registering 22degC with radiators going full whack.
Upstairs was set to 18degC, registering 18degC but even turning the temp up wasn't warming the radiators.
Any idea how we can work out WTF is triggering it?
My review of our first month or so with the heat pump providing central heating.

I successfully replaced a TRV without needing to drain the whole central heating system!

As I've told about earlier, I live [happily] an a 'modest' apartment flat.
As a principal element I want to burn as little as possible #Dino's .
My apartment is heated with a #CentralHeating powered by [natural] gas.
I do my best using [electrical] Infra Red Panels, but still need the gas CV [CH] half an hour on a cold day.
Thinking on solutions I tend to think on a slightly bigger scale.
What if NOT every household pumps CO2 individually in the atmosphere ?
A collective solution is easier to build #Green.
Instead of 200 chimneys only 1 chimney. And that one doesn't have billow CO2.
An example out of Danmark. And
the system
is also used to

"2 jun 2023
In the Danish city of Esbjerg MAN Energy Solutions and utility company DIN Forsyning are building a giant heat pump solution that will provide climate-neutral heat for 100,000 inhabitants. Watch how the solution works and why it’s a blueprint for other cities."
Having put two #heaters aboard earlier in the week we decided we'd take the opportunity to check on them and see how warm the #Webasto #centralheating copes in the current extreme conditions. The forecast is for 1°C overnight.
It was fully dark by the time we moored a mile upstream at the head of navigation at #Horstead #lock
We plan to get down to #Wroxham #Bridge tomorrow and the return to our #mooring.
Finding out how many #UK peeps I might be able to query about #centralHeating...
Funny, in NZ when we talk about heat pumps we typically mean a heat exchange unit that blows warm (or cold!) air into a room, but in the UK they mean central heating that pumps hot water through the pipes and radiators of an entire house! https://www.bbc.com/news/business-67511954
This isn't a chocolate fountain - it's rust sludge.
We got a magnetic filter added to the central heating system last week. This is it after just 30 minutes, then 2 hours later (after cleaning it), then 2 more hours.
I suspect it will be running much more smoothly after this.
Out with two old hot water tanks and in with one new one! Heat pump ready! And with a working immersion heater for dumping spare solar power!
Heating guy guessed the old unclad one might have been in there since the 70s and was, rather worringly, sludgy inside - he reckons the coil had split. Remember kids, never drink from the hot tap! #centralheating #hotwater
I did more baking today; mini rolls made with a sourdough focaccia dough, with a wash off maple syrup (& water) and sesame seeds.
These are for my friends here, who will be leaving for Switzerland on Wednesday, to overwinter in a house with central heating and proper insulation.
These are rolls for the road. I'll freeze them when they've cooled off sufficiently and take them out when my friends leave.

Some of you may remember that we had our gas supply removed in April. That action set a deadline: we had to find another heating solution before the coming winter.
We now have that solution:
Our home is all-electric, generates more solar power than we consume, and we will use air conditioning as heating this winter.
Heat pumps are too large. We needed something that was less powerful and which would consume less power.
It was quite a DIY job.
