  1. Do You Have To Pay VAT On Solar Panels? | The Eco Experts WWW.THEECOEXPERTS.CO.UK The UK government has cut VAT to 0% for solar panels, among other energy-saving materials. The cut will be in place until April 2027. Not much vat to pay on home installed solar panels.

  3. Smoke Control Area Interactive Map UK-AIR.DEFRA.GOV.UK Air Quality Compliance Interactive Map. This interactive application allows you to explore air quality compliance data. My local town showing the smoke control areas. Interesting that the later neighbourhoods are not included. You can choose your own area to see if you are in a zone or not!

  6. damn, I was trying to keep my age a secret! Best not to post in a hurry
  7. It honk we need a Darwin Award for 20022 thread!
  8. Has anyone got any reccommendations (or otherwise) for an installer please?
  9. Hi all, looking to replace a LPG combi-boiler with a wood burning boiler stove. The property is a 2 bed barn conversion near Billingshurst. Don’t think it’s in a smoke control area. We’re looking for advice and a quote to install. We have access to a fair amount of wood and have enough space to dry and store it. Has anyone any reccommendations?
  10. Meanwhile the gas price fluctuates! Natural gas - BBC News WWW.BBC.CO.UK All the latest news about Natural gas from the BBC
  11. G. B. National Grid status WWW.GRIDWATCH.TEMPLAR.CO.UK Apologies to anyone who has this website on their favourites. It gives an almost real time picture of whats contributing to the National Grid including imports/exports to and from the continent. We are very reliant on gas to power the grid! CCGT are gas powered.
  12. Hi there, I've recently read about guys that have temperature monitoring on their stoves. I've got a boiler stove and the only temperatures I monitor are on the flow and return water pipes. I don't really thrash the stove but wonder if I'm missing a trick by not having more monitoring?
  13. Excellent Links Alycidon, it would be interesting to see the figures per capita and also the UK's emissions.

  15. The problem with the Kona is that it's over £30k. I got my brand new bluemotion golf pre registered for £16k. The info about 14000 cycles is good news. But the sheer number of kW hours needed to replace all that petrol and diesel which is currently being used must be challenging.
  16. An interesting thread. My total avoidable bill for gas is £640 per year. Which really means if I use the woodburner with about 15 cubic meters (it does the central heating and hot water) I could save about that amount. I scavenge for wood and enjoy the whole process but really and truely it wouldn't be worth buying it all in. The wife is quite keen on the fire in the winter as it really dries the washing effectively, and I do prefer the constant heat as opposed to the gas fired central heating cutting in and out on the thermostat. As openspaceman points out it keeps the house dry which is a plus!
  17. Wow! Thank you for your inputs, excellent! Plasterboard must be the cheapest option but not sure if it would be robust enough when i keep moving it. I'll probably try a steel sheet first and see how it goes. Thanks again. Capetown.
  18. My Dunsley Yorkshire wood burning stove is within 600mm (to the side) of the new kitchen units. I was thinking of making a heat shield to trundle out when I'm using the fire and stowing it away when I'm not. I need advice on the type of material which would be best. Many thanks! wmplayer.exe
  19. Ten rivers, 90 percent of plastic WWW.DW.COM Most of the plastic in our oceans doesn't get dumped there directly, rivers carry it to the sea. As it turns out, a very small...
  20. Well he does let me dry my boots by it. He's a good lad!?
  21. Okay I'll bite.. We know a polish couple living near us, she has a baby and has a flat on the social, he is officially unemployed but works in the building trade for cash. They are sending their money home as they are building a small hotel on a plot of land they own in their home country. You can't blame the people for exploiting the status quo, just blame the system!
  22. The guy who fitted the fire was HETAS approved so I think that his approval covers it. I can't think of a reason that Building Regs wouldn't approve it.
