Thanks for the video but please no background music or if you do don't make it dynamic to your voice where it gets louder when you don't speak.

[UrbanPlumbers]

Great video again. Background music edited in a strange way, getting louder in speech breaks. (Usually use -28 - 30db throughout)

[johntisbury]

Background music on auto gain is a no no, so distracting. Information is great and on point, spoilt by background music. It's really not needed unless you are in a lift.

Thank you so much for this video. Just turned my weather compensation on after it being set to a flat 40 flow temp by the installers 4 years ago. I didn't dare touch it until watching this. Hopefully the on/off cycling will cut down considerably.
I have a very low cost 1.30am to 6.30am tariff so actually 'charge' up my floor slab during these hours which normally means the heat pump doesn't kick back in until about 2pm when it's cold outside. It seems to work well solar and home battery usually meaning I don't have to use any high rate electric at all. Might not be the most efficient but it's definitely the cheapest and also gives me a lovely warm floor first thing in the morning :)

Thank you so much. Your short video summarised everything I have learned over the last 2 years since my heat pump was installed. You have clearly explained everything I have been doing wrong, and why my SCOP is only 2.2. I might even ask my wife to watch the video!

Background audio is killing this video, sorry, couldn't watch despite it being useful info

[lud]

Just skip that music! I'm interested in what he is saying, not listening to some disturbing crappy music 😐

[gcbus]

Dump the background music but otherwise a very good and informative vlog :-)

[jonazapproductions]

Very good explanation which confirms what some others have been telling me. Did a test of WC and then constant 45c flow temp but only over a couple of days and no diff on energy consumed or cop but need to check over a longer period, especially as temps always diff. Please, please, please drop the music background though, it is very distracting when trying to concentrate. Thanks!

[richardgodfrey]

Wow! Does this work for oil boilers (Grant) who offer a weather compensation add-on but not mentioned by the installer. 😡

[prawnkng]

I set my boiler flow for 80’c and my house can’t get passed 20.5’c.

If I try 65’c I can’t get past 19’c.

[NickElliottuk]

Is there any chance you could consider making future videos without the background music? I'm not sure why you use it, but I personally don't think it adds anything, and I find it really distracting - especially when the volume auto-increases between your sentences. Otherwise, this is a great series. Thanks!

All that noise in the background...I couldn't watch this.

[brianholding]

Wanted to watch this, but had great difficulty hearing over the background noise. Therefore stopped trying after several minutes.

Blooming great information as usual, and lovely to hear the talk about removing setback as much as possible. Would love to spend some time with you on understanding zoning. Our advice to customer is that zoning (when done correctly) allows for the comfort in each room to be controlled, i.e. your bedrooms can be controlled lower than living areas, under the number 1 rule of continual operating conditions. (mainly talking UFH but does apply to rad's as well). This can also help protect against solar gain a little in south-facing areas. But if removing demand affects the COP, we want to make sure the advice is spot on and harmonious with the rest of the industry.

Good vid, very well explained... “3rd party control strangling the heat pump” - love that!

[Swwils]

Why does so little of the industry know about this

[vlodski]

I really appreciate your videos man ! Tones of important knowledge!

[campbellcopeland]

Really useful - I now understand all the graphs for my Worcester CDI system boiler & Wave / EasyControl Weather Compensation 👍
