Have you ever wondered how efficient your boiler is? Could we make it more efficient? With heat pumps people are obsessed with efficiency but no one really talks about gas boilers…
Well below is a link to a FREE rough guide on how to work out how efficient your condensing boiler is, obviously it’s not going to be 100% accurate but it could help you reduce your running costs

You can definitely tell spring is on the way!
My 2kW in-roof system throwing out 10kW by 5pm, pleased about that!
The facts for last year:
Total solar energy produced 2157kW
House consumed 2692kW
Heat pump usage for heating, hot water & cooling 1643kW
If you then consider combining battery storage, off peak tariffs or an EV the savings could be even greater.

When your Vaillant heat pump displays this message you have a fault! The most common causes are:
•System pressure being low - should normally be 1.5 bar
•Low flow rate due to debris in the filter
There are video guides to these checks in the “How to guides” playlist or see the comments below for some video guide links!
Both these checks can easily be performed by the end user and not normally require an engineer to attend
