commercial pictures ?

[on31ll]

show us pictures of your installs or what you work on etc ??:santa_cheesy:

 

[Gray0689]

I try to be understated....

Was thinking that mate lol

Mine are small in comparison lol

 

[Nostrum]

How many of these have you done gray? I'm an accredited installer for the spira, not fitted any yet though, how do you rate them?

 

[Gray0689]

First one mate
Yes they seem good but hard to tell untill it's been running a full year to see what running costs are like

 

[Nostrum]

Yeah,they seem pretty good from what i've seen on the accreditation course, although a few bits look a bit 'knocked up together in a garage' stylee. Only thing I was a little bit disapointed with was the sound of pellets tinging down the delivery tube! A bit of heat proof rubber could probably have sorted that.

 

[Nostrum]

also, is this the one with the bulk store? How did you find matching up the auger to it and the hopper?

 

[Gray0689]

Your not exactly going to have it set up in your utility room
And to be honest it's a bit smelly as well

 

[Gray0689]

This was before auger went in
But was not to bad to match just a bit it careful measuring and a kango lol

 

[Nostrum]

haha, funny you say that as I was going to fit one in a utility room! Reason was it was a grade 2 listed building and no outhouse, would have required planning to build one so it was a no no. In the end I couldn't do the job (personal circumstances) but still did the course. I've also been to windhager where i did the biomass hetas course and they were almost silent, although when you add up the extra kit they want you to fit, pricey!

 

[Gray0689]

It must of been a big utility room lol
Where you from Sam?

 

[Nostrum]

it was a big house! to be honest they wanted a 36kw and it was going to be undersized, but seemed adamant on a spira and the 62kw wouldn't have fit anywhere.

I'm in Devon

 

[Gray0689]

Kk thought you was from Ireland sorry

 

[Gray0689]

The one in pic is the 36kw and it's big lol

 

[Nostrum]

The 62kw is 2 boilers and 1 hopper!

 

[Gray0689]

Lol you would need a very big utility room lol

 

[Nostrum]

Yeah and it was big, but not that big! Have you got any incentives over in Ireland, or is just the fuel savings compared to oil enough?

Once they release the RHI for domestic I think we will see some growth in the renewables market over here, for a minute i've gone back to gas work as the uncertainty surroundings the whole thing and the feed in tariff fiasco for solar P.V has made the public very wary of the whole thing by the sounds of it.

 

[Gray0689]

No just be on rhi and grant

 

[Nostrum]

Grant? Is that the rhpp or something different?

 

[Gray0689]

Rhpp grant of £2500 for biomass

 

[Nostrum]

Wow, generous over there, think its £850 over here, can't remember now, I must have learnt something new and its pushed this out of my memory bank :teeth_smile:

i bet that lightens the blow a bit as its not cheap is it

 

[Gray0689]

Air Source Heat Pumps - £1,700
Biomass boilers - £2,500
Ground Source or Water Source Heat Pumps - £3,500
Solar Thermal - £320

 

[Gray0689]

Think the boiler and hopper and auger was about £7500

 

[on31ll]

on31ll..........I still waiting can you give me an idea when you will be back with these pic's ? Cos I would like to go to sleep at some point, tar, LOL

i will be back when i have enough time at the computer. heads up my a**e

 

[on31ll]

sorry i will get some up i do more toilets and catering sides so sadly no big boilers. why is it that every resturant wants to be open before xmas. the deadlines and time for the sites gets shorter and shorter.

 

[Nostrum]

Went into a plant room the other week, normally just touch the domestic side but was asked to increase pump speed on the pumps.

Flues are shagged hence the at risks for each boiler!

by the way, I'm not commercial.

 

[chris watkins]

Not sure if I should be posting these here cos this is somebody's house !! A good few years old now, but still one of the smallest to house 150kW's & the only fully tiled boiler room I've ever done.
Ar just remembered it was my first U/F as well, no mixing at the manifold on this one, it was a variable temp circuit in the middle of that lot.
So can I stay Plea.....se ?
Can't even say it was 35mm + gas supply cos that's the 1/2" line coming in bottom L/H side.
