[QUOTE="akaPABLO01, post: 6426722, member: 43748"] They are a good heating purpose but in the right application. This is how these scenarios play out; Either a customer sees an advertisement or friend of a friend or own research finds out about RHI subsidies. Then a salesman appears. These come in 3 forms, independent of installers, with installers, installer. The first is the dodgy one, these shysters know bugger all, they stick a wet finger in the air and weigh up an area and price a system. Now these guys work on a finders commission and the bigger the boiler the more teeth whitening treatments they can have. What this means is when rhi returns are shown as they used to be - size of boiler bigger return. Problem is though, they cost a lot more to run then anticipated, along the lines of DOUBLE what the customer used too. This eats into profits as there’s not enough heat demand so thermal stores heat up quicker rhi is lower. After a few years of paying the loan, the delay in rhi payments, the realisation “feeding this boiler is a pain in the arse, why did I buy this?” Then after not being able to get hold of the shyster because he’s looooong gone they try the installer number...they’ve buggered off too. Regret sets in, the figures don’t stack up. Then we get a call and carry out calculations and tell them your investment is negative. Rinse, dry, repeat. Lastly, biomass isn’t even a damn renewable it’s a recycler and shouldn’t even be leaching rhi coffers, should have only been thermal and compressors. Real plug and play systems no maintenance. The other 2 options are 50/50 Your mate with the gshp hasn’t got it configured correctly, either set up or user fault. Use references. [/QUOTE]
