It’s huge! Thanks for sharing!!

Very possible! Depends where you want it located and if they have to lay a base and ofcourse your installers day rate plus business overheads.

Oh yes for sure. It would only lower actual demand. If measuring this way make sure to account for defrosts you’ll have to add 15% to the heat pump output.

Hey! What specifically are you looking to see here? Perhaps if I understand what you’re going for I can help?

21.02.2026 13:54 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

this is the reason I stopped it at 85%. Consumers misunderstand boilers peak efficiency with seasonal. If heat pumps could use peaked all be saying they were 800% efficient.

The minimum modulation of that boiler would mean that your boiler will cycle and absolutely not reach 94% efficiency. I’d put you at about 88% best case.. you would have to have a very large hot water coil for that though…

20.02.2026 21:12 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 1

Can I ask what boiler it is?

Do you have advanced weather compensation controls and what is your hot water temperature?

Not at all no.

Fixed

Hey I’d be intrested to know how you’ve managed to get it to 93/94%? Especially around hot water? Also, how are you measuring?

20.02.2026 19:40 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Should be fixed

To prevent all that we knocked up a lil payback calculator so customer can see all the variables, and work out the payback for them self’s in a fraction of the time a back and forth would take. Feel free to share around!

They don’t want to get in to legal disputes later, and it can use an inefficient amount of valuable labour time entering a 12 day email chain about economics and heat transfer physics.

Heat pump installers getting tricky questions like β€˜what about my pay back on X fuel’, ,or β€˜if I’m now keeping the house warmer won’t that cost more?’ can be difficult.

I have a mini store 2 (another rnd project) you can have if you get open energy monitor and pay for the install.. you can have the unit for free

Well, to be honest it did work the first time (see the video) - Damo installed it on its side though which it wasn’t meant for.. I wanted to go ahead and see if that made it useable still though as it would be more useful in different orientations.. it essentially halfs its effectiveness

Interesting write up of the prototype @heat-geek.bsky.social NanoStore - a combined heat exchanger and 60l hot water store.
It’s still early days, but when this finally works, it will offer a route for space critical heat pump installations, with the heat pump ~ working like a combi boiler.

Note that this is one of five installations.. we’ve had varying results but think we’ve totally cracked this! And… They definitely work in winter!

To make the switch to clean energy easier, we should aim for lower electricity prices, not higher ones. Lower electricity prices would encourage more people to use heat pumps πŸ’š

What's a true "Zero Disrupt / Express" heat pump installation? A HYBRID install: boiler + heat pump. Minimal disruption, no performance worries, and 80% less gas. Add it to the schemeπŸ’™ @betatalk.bsky.social @janrosenow.bsky.social @chiefgeekad.bsky.social @octopus.energy @edfenergy.com

The most expensive bills are heating though which use gas… there’s #nopanacea.

Additionally, a well installed heat pump (doesn’t mean expensive) is 350-500% efficient so will definitely SAVE on bills, not cost more.

Currently scop 3.35 is parity with and 85% efficient boiler. - don’t believe the hype on the claimed boiler efficiency of 91%- that’s not seasonal or including hot water.

β€œHeat pump installers are ripping it out of the grant”

β€œPrices are inflated”

β€œInstallers are profiteering”

We finally expose exactly how much heat pump installers are making, AND just how much MORE they make from the grant thanks to findings in MCS data!

You can buy a ministore direct from Newark but I wouldn’t personally trust a non heat geek to install it unless you have a very good trust in them.

Great guys and Generally looks quite good. I’d probably go for it if I were a cust and not using a heat geek. If it’s hg install bare in mind it will void warranty
