Not seen that recoheat unit before, interesting. I wonder how it affects the draw of the air up the flue. Assuming you're still at planning phase for the boiler and central heating, did you consider a log burner with a back boiler? Might be possible to generate a lot of hot water this way. Apparent...

to answer the question more accurately, we need to know how much water you anticipate needing to heat, there are online calculators to tell you how much energy is required for a given temperature change of water, Google something like "specific heat capacity water energy calculator". Atte...

Not sure what you aim for this thread to be about, are you asking a question? What you "need" is subjective, I suspect 120kWh is your normal winter usage figure, rather than bare minimum. Keep in mind, if your house is lit up like a Christmas tree, while the rest of the street is in darkn...

There's also home assistant that you can use instead to make it more "local" I've had a quick look at home assistant. A lot of people use a Raspberry Pi. My main problem is, although I can build PC's and install operating systems, I cannot write code and have no experience of networks. If...

I'm not keen on Internet based surveillance systems or doorbells. They're also surveilling you! In some circumstances they're great and very versatile, also easy to install.

The link didn't seem to work, but I think you may be referring to one of the flat single burner stoves with the cylinder inside on the right hand side of the stove, along with the control. Anything like this will do. Note the quality o...

So I've curently got 8 solar panels. Realistically, my aim isn't to "prep" but rather to be as self sufficient as possible if needed. I'll be upgrading however to : A 16 panel setup in total 16 kW worth of batteries A gateway It'll be the Sigenergy setup. Part of the attraction here is the...

A CO detector costs about £20 for a decent make and could save your life (making it priceless), I'd recommend getting one if you're planning on any non-electric heating. Bistro type stoves work well with your standard pots and pans (well, maybe not a 20 inch paella.... But most things) A stove-top ...
