We have an EV, Solar panels with 5KWh battery. All rads were updated and electric UFH (not from ASHP) in kitchen. EDF has cheaper rate from 2100 til 0700 each week night and from 2100 Friday through til 0700 Mondays. Not as cheap as Octopus but for a much longer period.

We put in an ASHP in Dec ‘21 and haven’t regretted it. Yes it costs more to run when outside temps are less than 7 degrees, but so does gas or oil. It’s just that you can’t easily measure gas usage. We’ve never run out of hot water, the radiators are hot enough that they are uncomfortably hot to...

That should be enough for you. We have an ASHP , EV 10 panels and a 5 kWh battery. 10 kWh battery would have been better but hindsight is a wonderful thing. Wouldn’t upgrade as I can foresee that V2H or V2G will kick in not far ahead. This means that you will have a 70 kWh battery ready to be...
