Seeing as you have time to post a pic of your ‘JIB PMES cscs’ card DOA would you be kind enough to post a pic of your HNC in fluid mechanics from Brighton Poly, OU ‘stuff’, and your various NVQ’s.
Could you be a dear and put all of them in the same picture and obviously with your name and details redacted.
Apologies for the font.
Thanks babe.
Sorry I was off working. They made me do it
I’ll post the stuff I have out right now cos I’m renewing that cscs card. And if you think the cscs tests are easy take the HS&E test for managers and professionals like I have to do. Its like being tested on the Chinese phone book….. all the answers you think are right are Wong
You have my home address and phone number babe
After along day in the coal fields of Sussex….. I’m so bord of reading crap from those who think they know better than me.
Spend your money on what you want. After all its your money. I have two words that should act as a warning for you all: economy seven
The same noises where being main about economy seven as we’re hearing about heat pumps now. And I cant think of anyone who had it installed liking it.
Heating systems with no flexibility or control are general hated by there users.
The first question is do you want your home to warm up fast or hold the heat long?
Most of the older Victorian building in Brighton use cast iron radiators. They hold the heat longer but take a while to warm up. Newley built homes with better insulation use aluminium radiators for faster warm up but lose the heat once the boilers off.
Radiator design plays a big part too. You want the chimney effect.
Placement of radiators plays a big part too.
I don’t think there a comparison web site for radiators. I cant find one anyway.
Our main suppler is Wolseley and they sell ones from the radiator company

Hope it helps

I love the idea of being a “hack” plumber
Would you like to see my HNC in fluid mechanics from Brighton Poly or maybe a few of the other certs I’ve done since then like OU stuff or NVQ’s? Training & re certification is continuous process within the industry. You mite be a “graduate engineer” but that only means you can do math not fix a drain or pipe up a home heating system.
Greenmatch is a business referral service. They promote renewable energy systems and charge installers to be “partners”. Its like checkatrade for hippy’s.
Bio mass isn’t a new idea…its just a new name for an old one. Gasification was used to run vehicle in WW2.

And there easy and cheap to build.
Vertical boreholes require a geographical survey. I can think of many places were you couldn’t place borehole due to the ground conditions. And anyone who’s done pile driving will tell you its not just the ground you need to worry about.
And you still cant seem to grasp the idea this heating system isn’t cheap to run and costs will only increase with the price of electricity.

While you’re sat there digging holes…. the heating industry is carrying out research into reclaiming methane gas and heating systems for manufacturing.
Cos everyone poops
Here a copy of my JIB PMES cscs card. This wont mean a lot to you…but maybe you should google it and find out before you reply again? I’m sure you can get one
Ok… you have no idea how these pumps work or the running’s involved. Dra is right, they’re electric heaters….for every 1Kw of electricity you put in… you get 3Kw of heat out.
With the price of electricity increasing yearly…. you mite save the planet but you wont save money.
Can I can prove what I’m saying…. can you say the same?
Errrr hmmm……no
The colder it is… the better they work. If you put your hand behide a fridge you can feel the heat. Think of an air source heat pumps as a fridge working in reverse. They use about 7Kw of electricity which is about the same as an electric shower.
The problem is…. 1 Kw costs between 11 to 21 pence. If you run it 24 hours per day non stop…its about £24. Even if you run it 10 hours a day…its still £10.
But you can work out the cost yourself using the link below.
Well you clearly dont get my point …..
So being a bit of a feminist I’m going to let Chatguide Le tell you why your wrong :)
(Her mum had one put in
)Hmmmmmmmmmmm
I first saw information on ground sourced heat pumps back in 2002. It was in a hand out from CIPHE and sent out with there magazine.
Since then I’ve spoken to a few UK owners who live in France. There view was the “bore hole” system was crap and favoured the trench system.
As we all know if you drill down into the ground things start to warm up…..but we’re talking 1/2 mile not 10 meters. And that’s why key to ground source heat pumps is surface area not depth. If it was depth…. no one would use the trench system.
Basically ground source heat pumps work on the same principles as the old ice houses.
As for the cost… well……. I hate to say this but its about the same as installing a gas system back in the 1970’s. Your putting in a whole new system not just a boiler. While swapping over a boiler mite cost between 1 or 2 grand……..ripping out the whole system and re piping will cost a hell of a lot more. Your looking at 8-10k for a complete replacement system for gas.
Before putting in any new heating system, always talk to someone who got it. It will save you a lot of time and money.
Bio mass works for me due to my location. I have access to all kinds of waste wood and paper locally and I have space for the system.
It mite not work for you.
Its not my fault…. they made mars bars SMALLER
Over the summer months we all become healthier. Enjoying the sun…walking for fun and eating more fresh food.
Its the winter when we all pile on the extra weight
And while somer cant admit he’s got the same issues cos his mrs is a chubby lover. I’m brave enough too
