I will confess, that despite our disappointing experience via the "Clear Skies" scheme some years ago, where the accredited installer, and/or his staff, were not technically competent, neither in respect of the design(was there any?) nor the actual shoddy install.

The only 2 suppliers I have spoken to (and viewed 1 very very tidy, very simple installation, and will view another, by the other) are much more au-fait with the "NEW-FANGLED" technology, as indeed I suppose, am I.

As always; Older, Poorer, and Wiser.

Well after a very through measuring session on Sat morning, I recieved our EPC this morning.

Need to upgrade the roof-space insulation, which I knew, but peeved that the guy, who appeared to be very diligent, apparently under-measured our dwelling by nearly 50m2.

Compared to the Land and Property services stated measurment, and both sets of measurments were taken externally.

So does the EPC use the internal area?/volume?, since I know rates uses the gross or external measured square footage/m2age

Huh?

We have just had our log gasification system commissioned in the house we have been renovating. Now I have just submitted the form to register for/claim RHI payments. This automatically got sent for review so I called to ask why? the response from the guy at Ofgem was because the property hasn't been lived in for the last 183 days thus needs to be metered.

 

I've Looked at the guides and situations where a meter is required. It states you need one if the property is going to be occupied for less than 183 days of the year.

 

This house is our new fulltime address from now on plus if I did install a meter I would have to confirm that the property the heating system is in has been occupied for fewer than 183 days of the previous year. So for next year I would be screwed!

 

Anyone been in a similar situation? any advice would be much appreciated

Bloody Hell!

I just "worked back" from our EPC figs.

a heating demand of 295m2 by 236kW/m2=69,620kW*Hr/Year

Devide 69,620 by calorific value of kero at 11.8/kg at SG of 0.845 and say 85% boiler efficency = 5900kg or 6982l at 100%= 8214 litres at 85% = £4,000.00/Yr heating oil bill

BLOODY HELL

PS

We only been living there 20 years.

PPS

That Morso stove is worth its weight in Gold!!
