Morning all, bit late this morning after playing catch-up with calls from yesterday
I’ve just been fortunate enough to watch the official unveiling of the Murray Design T50 Supercar. What an absolutely magnificent piece of art. The front is similar to the F1 as is the side but the rear is much different with the big fan in the middle. The 3.9 Ltr N/A V12 pushes out 166bhp/litre and revs to 12.100. From idle to redline takes .4 seconds or just about twice as quick as the LFA. There is no plastic on the car, only carbon fibre and machined metal, even the clock needles are machined from solid. Absolutely superb and a snip at £2.8m!

Build slots still available. (I turned mine down as Mrs Crud wants to get the bathroom done this month.)
Given that it cost me £13k 7 years ago to put in a new central heating system (which included 27 double radiators plus hot water supply to 3 bathrooms and a £2.5k high efficiency oil fired boiler), I very much doubt that you could supply me with a ground or air source heat recovery system which could deliver the same level of heat output needed to fill a 3 story stone house for less than £3k.Sorry, only just seen this! Not like me to miss a selling opportunity!!
I can do one for between £1,500 - £3,000 depending on how much RHI you qualify for. And I'll even remove the old tank, and get you £600 scrappage from the manufacturer
Should save you between £500 - £700 per year, so we can get that pay back period down a fair amount too

When I looked at this as an alternative heating soln I was advised that that the heat output wouldnt be high enough to deliver the level of heat output needed from the radiators, capable of heating rooms up to an acceptable level with 14ft high ceilings. I would have to install a secondary supplemental heating soln in addition to a primary source to get anywhere near the level of heat output I would need. So as far as I am aware its still a complete non starter even today.
An interesting new project I'm getting into is a retrofit district heating system for around 100 properties in a village. It's a compound system using ground source to collect just 2°c from the ground, through a heat pump that then feeds the supply to the air source heat exchanger to raise it 20°c to feed the district loop whereupon each house has what is essentially water source heat pump to extract the heat to the point that the consumer unit (boiler replacement) takes it up to 70°c in the house to feed the rads and hot water cylinder.
All of which is powered 70% by PV solar
Like I say, easy when you know how.
We have the original Potterton boiler in our house, built in 1987. Horrendously inefficiency I suspect but the things just go on and on.
Easy way to see how horrendously inefficient it is or isn't is to get an EPC for about £80. That will tell you what your yearly heat requirement is (probably around 15,000kwh heating plus 2,000kwh hot water for your house at a guess) and then have a look at your last 12 months meter readings. If you've got through 18-20,000 it's not great but not terrible. If you've got through 40,000kwh or more I'll have an ASHP delivered to you by the end of the week!
