As an energy engineer with enough programming/data expertise to be dangerous, this was a great podcast. I've worked for a few retailers with large portfolios and they all lack the broad visibility and proactive analytics to really get on top of their portfolios. So just using AI/ML to provide visibility (which I am working on with my current employer) would be huge.
Wouldn't it be a lot less expensive to simply replace his existing gas boiler with an efficient gas boiler? It sounds like both solutions are expensive and ASHP costly and disruptive to install for older houses, so maybe get a new gas boiler and play the waiting game when in 5-10yrs time efficiencies and alternatives are more viable and appealing?
As an installer and service tech with 15 yrs experience....I'll always recommend Mitsubishi Electric over Daikin. Better build quality, more reliable electronics.
That customer who has a single ducted unit for the entire bungalow is me! 10kw mitsubishi unit on a 1960s bungalow. Did bonded bead cavity wall insulation and put 400mm of loft roll in covering all the duct work. Cheap bills! Cool in the summer and toasty in the winter. Couldn't be happier! And as I didn't have a combi boiler or rads previously the cost of putting a gas boiler in was double that of the ducted unit. It's quiet, powerful and I'd never go back to gas!
My mitsubishi AC units are god damn trash. Auto mode is not working for shit. Heating mode is not working for shit. Cooling mode not working for shit. Auto mode doesn’t keep a temperature, it always gets too hot. Cooling mode keeps on cooling well below what is set in the settings. Heating mode keeps heating well beyond the set temperature. If I set 21c for heating, it heats up to 24. For cooling if I set 22 it coold below 20. Going into the app, it displays the wrong indoor temperature until I change to another setting, like from heating to cooling, where it suddenly realizes, oh shit, it’s not 21 like it’s set to, it’s 24, gotta cool. Worst AC units I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. Now even issues with their damn app where it takes a minute between the unit updating and you changing a setting.
Exactly what I needed. For my AC I needed to use the address 192.168.1.11/network. In case anyone is having trouble with that step. If you can the QR code on the WiFi device it tells you all the information which is how I came up with this fix.
orrrr hear me out,,, basic knowledge here, get 2 fans, put them both on the windowsill 1 facing out the window and the other facing in the window, that way youre taking the hot air out and blowing fresh cool air in. works perdect for me when its at 26+
This is a really informative video, what network provider do you use the calls are very clear, Also what website do you use for getting those certificates from, my last ones I got from ebay?.
Great content as usual! I’ve been watching a lot of your videos since my Mrs left me, she took the house and kids but learning from your channel has really taught me a lot, so thank you!
I like daikin because I support Man City, they both wear sky blue I like turtles Interesting comparison The manufacturers have definitely improved lately, I speak to them all often! I like turtles Keep up the good work outspoken engineer! Turtles Which unit do you prefer to install ? Which is easier to work on? Which unit is best for the turtles ?
Just reposting my original question as it seems ‘the outspoken engineer’ deleted it.. Out of interest, how have you bypassed the privacy laws with this content? You don’t advise the help desk workers that you are recording the conversations and you are publishing their names and voices without their permission?
Hello Campbrll, all manufacturers, have invited us to there offices following these video for a "day in the life", if you look at our channel you can find the Mitusbishi Electric one.
All that information is in the install manual, engineers should take more responsibility rather than blaming technical for information they have in front of them
i added the Samsung air conditioner to the smart things app, but the air conditioner says the device is off. the AC will not respond if i hit the power icon
Nice information, Thanks Question and sorry if it's a clueless one, does ducted AC bring in fresh air from the outside world and if no is there a way to do that, I mean bringing fresh air from the outside world into the rooms of the house, Thanks again
there, isnt... the filter son ducted units arent suitable for the filtering.. in addition you will be drawing in hot air during the summer. You could get a small MVHR unit (Blauberg) and pass the air into the unit
@@DH-tv2yw if you have a "huge" house which can handle a 3 phase vrf condensor yes, although this isnt anything new most brands have this type of unit....
@@theoutspokenengineer do they do any smaller ones for a normal property on single phase? Seems to be the best of both worlds having fresh air and air conditioning
If you are comparing terms in a YT short, please give visual examples of what you mean. Wall acne has no meaning in my brain besides your face saying it.
What are the upcoming trends and technology of Mep hvac design that will be helpful for engineers to learn and grow in career exponentially without being stuck at mediocrity at job workplace..
Would you do a video on the options for the actual ducting itself? Insulation options, material choices etc? Also what about integrating fresh air via an MVHR unit like the Americans do (or not)?
I like what heatgeek promote and intend to apply as much of what they teach into my self build install. But i have two issues/concerns. 1. Following heatgeeks own videos on comparing a highly efficient gas boiler 90% vs an ashp scop 4, the running costs based on my accurate heat loss survey, the saving was only £220 per year. The higher price of an ashp service in my area means half of that saving is lost, so over 10 years it would be £1100 saved. 2. I'd like to install an ashp, but the £7500 grant is being absorbed by the installer and not received by the home owner and it feels corrupt. To have an ashp fitted to a new build plant room only, the quotes for parts and labour was 16 to 18 grand vs a gas boiler at just under 10 grand. £8000 difference. Yes i would be eligble for a £7500 grant to bring the ashp price down to lets say 10 grand matching the gas install, but both installs were 5 to 6 days work. The ashp and components are around 3k more than gas, that that should make the total 13k, not up to 18k. When questioning why the quotes are so high, I'm told that the MCS grant paperwork takes up so much time that they need to charge more, or, it needs to cover all the training costs for the ashp and if you dont like it then fit it yourself, you do the training, we will simply find customers who will pay 18k and recognise our worth. This seems like a poor attitude. Any installer also has to pay for their gas training but each customer shouldnt cover the cost of all the installers training on each job. This is clean new build, plant room only install and not a huge job.
Sorry, but this is driving me nuts… do the AY15 and AY20 look the same? Can somebody confirm? Cause some images show a slit in the front (like the thumbnail) and some don’t…
