4 zone #heatpump going in! 3/4 air handlers are on the wall, and the old AC + air handler has been hauled away.

More to come tomorrow!

Annoyingly my #HeatPump adventure has come to an end before it even really began. Octopus did a survey today and because of noise abatement rules and the house layout, there’s nowhere to put the pump. We’ll have to wait for change in regs or quieter pumps to be developed. Had a look at electric boilers but they look like they cost £££ to run.
#Lennox's new extreme cold #heatpump operates at as low as -20F
It’s called Dave Lennox Signature® Collection SL22KLV Cold Climate Heat Pump, and Lennox claims its efficiency levels are 150% higher at colder temperatures than standard heat pumps.
In 2022, Lennox was first company to complete first phase of the #US #DOE Residential Cold Climate Heat Pump (CCHP) Technology Challenge, and the SL22KLV is a souped up version of the unit developed for that challenge.

Since my new #heatpump (#Remeha #Elga Ace All in One) has such poor energy reporting (updates about once an hour, how useful...), this will be my new energy reporter. A #Shelly EM with current clamp.

I'm not using its internal relay, but I just noticed the output limit: "max 2A". Geez, I couldn't even use it if I wanted to.

Whatever the problem was, it's been fixed now - hot water is scalding hot this Sunday morning #HeatPump
