  1. I like #fission #boiler #steam #power but if you start putting blocks of #solar panels down and connecting them to substations you can do it in many places and in sequence, and each 1000 kW you do is another 300 kWh per day. Add a #battery here and there, and you spread that through the whole day.

    Fission takes a #decade, or perhaps 5 years (or 30) before a turbine spins a generator, and yes, all day and a GW but power next #winter is highly valuable.

    And #wind, onshore...

  2. Sagt mal… ich werde wohl noch nicht so schnell auf #Wärmepumpe umstellen. Aber um den Gasverbrauch im Haus zu reduzieren denke ich darüber nach, die Waschbecken im Bad von der Heizung abzukoppeln und einen 5l oder 10l Untertischboiler installieren zu lassen.
    Das scheint mir ein guter Zwischenschritt zu sein... oder übersehe ich etwas?

    Oder ist es noch geschickter, neben die Heizung im Keller einen 30l #Boiler zu hängen, an den dann Becken + Dusche angeschlossen werden?

    Yes, propane! Most #narrowboats have #propane #cookers. It can also be used for #heating. Alde is probably the leading brand for producing #propane boilers for boats that will run radiators as a #domestic #boiler will.

    #Diesel #heaters are also popular. Eberspacher and Webasto being the main brands though many fit very competitively priced Chinese units, but I read somewhere that they are not approved for marine use and should they start a fire insurance would be invalid.

    A few #liveaboard boaters have larger Aga or Rayburn oil or solid fuel fired cookers that will also drive radiators

    I referred to #cooker rather than #stove deliberately. Almost all privately owned narrow boats have small traditional style #solidfuel
    (wood/coal) stoves fitted. On 19th century #boats theses would have been used both for heating and cooking. On modern boats they are usually stand alone heaters in the saloon, but some will be fitted with boilers and drive radiators elsewhere on the boat.

  5. Today, I can overhear the two guys who are digging a trench through my garden.

    Guy 1: Does this look like a gas pipe to you?
    Guy 2: Dunno. But we can't dig round it soo...

  6. If you're considering a new #boiler and, like me, a heat pump isn't an option, then I really recommend the #WorcesterBosch Greenstar 8000+ 32kW (other outputs available depending on property size of course), combined with the Bosch EasyControl internet connected thermostat. We had ours installed 3 weeks ago. It replaced our brilliant 18 year old Worcester Greenstar 30CDI. A few things needed replacing on it so was time for a change. New one is quiet, built to last and is very efficient. #heating

  7. Next S/S Turso cruise planned for Tuesday means we needed to start heating today, Sunday. Aim for this first day heating is to get the boiler surface hot to touch but pressuremeter stay idle.

    Heat and pressure buildup continues tomorrow, Monday. Glamorous hobby

  9. Tijd om te vergroenen! Ik hik er al jaren tegenaan, maar nu gaat het ineens hard: mijn huis gaat "van het gas af".

    De #spouwmuurisolatie is aangevraagd, en omdat mijn gemeente de eerste €2000 daarvan voor zijn rekening neemt en mijn offerte slechts €1700 is, betekent dat dat ik die isolatie dus gewoon gratis krijg 😎

    Daarna wil ik mijn dak vol #zonnepanelen laten leggen, CV-ketel met radiatoren vervangen door #airco en een elektrische #boiler en een fijne #thuisbatterij zodat ik mijn overschotten aan stroom 's nachts door mijn serverpark kan sturen.

    En dan moet ik natuurlijk ook m'n fornuis gaan vervangen door iets elektrisch...
  10. Gisteren op #eenvandaag was er een item om in een #boiler stroom die je over hebt als warm water op te slaan. Wat mij opviel is dat ze als voorbeeld een conventionele boiler lieten zien. En het item eindigde met dat je beter een #warmtepomp kan nemen. Maar je kan toch ook met je Warmtepomp warm water maken in een Boiler. Dan heb je het beste van twee werelden. Mijn installatie kan dat en de leverancier (#Weheat). gaat dit binnenkort ondersteunen. Dus heb ik straks een #Warmwateraccu.

  11. Was randomly scrolling through one of the sites that serve as middlemen between #western #buyers and random #sketchy sellers of questionable #Chinesium stuff.

    Please, for the love of all that is holy, do NOT buy boilers, pressure-cookers, compressed-gas tanks, or any other pressure vessel from #Temu, AliExpress, Ebay, or any other such site.

    Hundreds of #PSI is no joke.

  12. This lady is fighting #cancer, her #boiler stopped working, it was totally knackered.
    She asked British Gas for a quote, they said just over £6,000 in total.

    We attended and installed a #free boiler, taking away the worry of borrowing for a boiler.

  13. On Thursday we visited an elderly & very vulnerable lady!
    Her boiler had stopped working, she had no heating or hot water for days, she was very worried.

    Yesterday the Community Plumbing & Heating Support - CPH CIC installers fitted a #FREE #boiler for her, this will ensure that she stays warm and safe, it will also give peace of mind to her family.

    The boiler was supplied by CPH CIC, we are not government or council supported, all work, materials, boilers, parts are raised through paid work

  14. When CPH CIC installs a #free #boiler, it is the public love and support through their wonderful donations that help us to deliver this life changing and life-saving initiative.

    Thank you so much, 💓 for your support and kindness ❤️

  16. A #FREE #boiler installation from @CPH_CIC comes with a room thermostat, filter and carbon monoxide alarm.

    It also comes with 5 years parts and labour warranty. Giving you total peace of mind, without the worry of #debt and #costs.
    We have installed 100s over the years, totally FREE!!

    How are they financed? You may ask!

    They are #financed through #profits that we make from paid #plumbing and #heating work & through #donations from the #public.

  17. This isn't a chocolate fountain - it's rust sludge.

    We got a magnetic filter added to the central heating system last week. This is it after just 30 minutes, then 2 hours later (after cleaning it), then 2 more hours.

    I suspect it will be running much more smoothly after this.

  18. My boiler broke last week - will I ever be able to trust it, or the company who failed to properly service it and left us stranded without heat for three days, again?

  19. Here's a new blog post for today about the water heater that I installed over the weekend.
    Sounds dull, right ? Well this might actually save half of our total energy bill.
    Replacing the antiquated gas boiler with an electric boiler running from our solar panels has been on the to-do list for years, but we kept prioritizing other things to save energy. Because the other work kept reducing our total energy consumption, that which remained from the water heater started to look a bit silly as it was costing us nearly half of our total annual energy bill for absolutely everything that we do in our work and private life.
    Anyway, the job is done now. While water boilers really are a bit boring, this job brings us one step closer to being completely free of fossil fuel.
    What I particularly appreciate is that when I return home from exercising I can now take a completely fossil-fuel free shower. Today the sun heated up my shower water while I cycled.
