Ground source and water source heat pumps will be preferable to air source. Not many people have a lake, pond or river on their property so water-source is unlikely but I'll include it here. The temperature differences of water and ground compared to desired house heating temperature won't...

Ours is a manual switch outside the house. There is a process to go through to switch it over so it is a bit of a faff. Thankfully power cuts are rare, but if we did end up getting the 'rolling blackouts' some scaremongers are now mentioning online it would be a pain. But less of a pain than...

No, our earth spike was only installed when we had the backup power system added. Ancient British technology.

Can you fit the rubber bungs into each other?

Might still be a good move overall. Maybe you went slightly early. Our renewables tend to do best in Spring and early summer because there is wind and sun.

So the house would run on (and the powerwall battery would fill up with) solar when in backup operation? That is what I would hope/expect.

That's a nice combination of features. Great to have you as part of the community. We had someone from Ecuador, so a few MG4s are getting to your part of the world. Hopefully more EVs will follow.

And I'm allergic to peanuts! She's sent me to hospital before with our wedding cake that she arranged. Sure she'll finish me off one of these days.

Same. Would have been cheaper to get it done up front. Plus we still have pigeons hanging around our roof because they often hang out wherever they were born.

So you're trying to put it on a new WiFi network? That can be tough. Maybe someone on here will recognise the unit. Hope you can get it sorted.

Not heard of these. Has it ever worked? Is there a forum for that company?

Yeah, I find it amazing that Sainsburys and Tesco have the name of a rival plastered throughout their store. Just goes to show everyone associates them with being the best possible price.

Also, if they notice that Aldi is expensive for an item they will proudly trumpet that they have matched the Aldi price!

Very sad that this is what people are spending their efforts on, rather than providing some useful service.
