Short video showing a follow up five days after the completion of my Octopus installation of a Daikin EDLA04E2V3 Heat Pump and 180ltr Daikin Cylinder: EKHWSU180D3V3 to my 3 bedroom semi detached 1970s house.
If you are thinking of getting a heat pump from Octopus you can use my referral code below to get £100 off your installation. I also recieve £100 in vouchers.
referral code is: 23225722
If anyone is not currently with Octopus as their energy supplier I can highly recommend them. Moving from a standard tariff to the Octopus Agile tariff for electricity I pretty much halved my yearly bill. Octopus Tracker for the gas is currently 4.5 and been lower so also much cheaper than standard tariffs.
If you want to join please use my referral code below and we will both get £50

Hi Stuart, Thanks for your interesting videos. I'm just waiting for my design to come from Octopus and then (hopefully!) we'll get a heat pump in before the cold weather arrives in the Autumn. Your videos have been really useful, showing me just what to expect. Cheers, Phil

Glad you found them useful and good luck with your install

Concur with the comment about the music although I did watch all the way through. It was intrusive and I couldn’t hear the heat pump when you showed that bit. Otherwise thank you. I will be interested in your winter performance.

@markwatson2967 3 месяца назад

Thank you for sharing your specific journey. Neat jointing work and the final job looks really sound. At the end of the day, any scop over 3 will be good if you close the spark gap with gas to the point it is cheaper than. Will you be montoring the scop/efficiencies and reporting on those, too, for us?

@kindns 3 месяца назад

Yes going to be monitoring my scop. Just find the Daikin ones on the mmi not particularly accurate as round up the usage. So far it’s reporting 4.66 on the heating and 2.7 on dhw. I’ve been setting up home assistant and got the esp bits to install in the heat pump when I’m brave enough to get accurate figures.

@MsDebc Месяц назад

A video about your esp and ha experience works be good. I'm interested in doing same. Thanks @@kindns

I’ve just had a Heatpump installed by octopus, very similar install to yours. My only concern with yours is that going forwards for maintenance - the immersion heater is inaccessible should it ever need to be replaced. My installer made a point of saying they had to position the tank so that in the future it could be changed if required. You’ll probably have to cut a hole in the side of that cupboard to access it!

@kindns 2 месяца назад

would think they would just remove the pipes to get the cylinder out then redo them again when new one in.

@acelectricalsecurity 2 месяца назад

Plumbers have a habit of putting the immersion in places where it cannot be easily removed, they tend to do things that will make their life easier

A nice piece of white trunking would make the consumer unit at the front door look much better than black cliped cables

@kindns 3 месяца назад

I've stuck a plant in the way for now but was thinking may put some trunking up.

@acelectricalsecurity 2 месяца назад

I am not sure anything would make it less noticeable

I found getting water hammer and octopus keep trying all sorts to fix it, but problem still persists today and my initial install was start of April. Not really had the rads on, just the hot water. When they did come on they felt lukewarm warm so hope they get hotter in the winter or we will freeze to death.

@kindns 3 месяца назад

Yeah the dads will only feel like warm at this time of year as the flow temp will only be in the 30s. This will increase as the weather gets colder.

Thanks for the update. Good to hear about effective follow-up. Ours starts Monday so fingers crossed for a really good week!

Do you know if the legionella cycle uses the immersion heater or does the HP ramp to 55 degrees for this? I know the Valliant units can do 55 degrees without too much trouble as their max is 75 degrees but the R32 units have a max of 60 degrees.

@kindns 3 месяца назад

I believe it heats up using heatpump to certain temp then tops up to 55 or 60 as default with the immersion. I do however have a problem with this as has never managed to complete. I did report this to octopus and had an engineer visit but still get the dreaded AH-00 error. I will do some more investigation and tweaking but may just disable the legionella cycle.

@modo613 3 месяца назад

@@kindns That's a shame, hope it gets sorted. I know Heat Geek have a video on legionnaire cycles but haven't watched it. Assume the regular HW heating cycle doesn't involve the immersion?

@bazcurtis178 3 месяца назад

My Mum had the same issue for the first three weeks of her install. Turns out the immersion that was fitted was the wrong one. It couldn’t reach the target temp. Octopus swapped it and she hasn’t seen the issue again.

@acelectricalsecurity 2 месяца назад

I haven't seen any neater pipe runs, they all stand out like a sore thumb.

@lynnehayward7309 3 месяца назад

Sorry. I can't listen with the annoying music conflicting with voice.

@ralpharmsby8040 3 месяца назад

Anti legionnaires should be up to 60C according to our Octopus install team.

@geoffmansfield2668 3 месяца назад

1) music horrible; totally detracted from what you were saying. 2) overall it seems Octopus couldn’t plan a p…. Up in brewery. Why all the return visits - plan it and do right in the first place. 3) I have seen much neater pipe runs. Looking forward to hearing about your future journey. Thanks
