As that’s over 3,000 amps on a 240 volt supply it wouldn’t run long before the consumer unit trips out! Unless you’ve the small power station which @AirCon suggests?
instantaneous, see post 101. It reminds me of when my neighbour tried to measure the resistance of the live mains... He said "I think I got the wrong meter, as it blew up"..... "step away from wires" was my response.
Yes I even gave it to you in the queens imperial size !! kitchen, sitting room and dining room all open plan , I've a 600 sq football hall too
749 or 999? You did say room and not home And 16kW could keep a 10,000" sq home warm if it was insulated well enough!
Its a 999s thats ultra mint ! Yes we open the double doors to the hallway and it heats most of the house and because I own a joinery shop the fuel is free as I create loads of nice kiln dried waste wood !
Nice bike . I've a 749R and want a 999R to keep it company.... should put a thread up really... I need to talk to Elsie, see if she's selling any. I purchased a wood burner off a builder, still not installed it!
We live in an average three bedroom bungalow, i built a garden room off my kitchen, and have a large detatched garage. My property was built in 1999 of brick construction and to be honest the insulation was shite, iv taken advantage of free cavity wall insulation and have insulated my roof space using glass fiber to about 400mm depth. My garage is cavity wall insulated complete with an insulated electric door.iv a multifuel stove 8kw in my sun room/ kitchen and a 12 kw multi fuel stove in my large living room, iv a grant vortex 50/90 condensing oil boiler in garage heating my garage and house, the garage is on its own zone and set at about 10/12 degrees, the house has three zones (all thermostatic controlled) inc hot water which is a mains pressure 210 ltr cylinder. My home is toasty warm ( at least 22degrees) when we are home and the hot water cylinder gives massive pressure showers usually about 2.5 bar. I use two oil fills every 14 months so about 2000 ltrs and a load of wood blocks £80, electric works out about £400 per year, all lighting is led ,dont use immersion and iv a rayburn oil fired cooker. Plus as an oftec plumber i can service my boiler for the price of a nozzel £5 20p . Im fairly ok with that.
Im contemplating building a drying cupboard i garage , basically a small heavily insulated room with a large radiator and a humidity controlled fan that you hang damp clothes in and hit the timer and let everything dry....hope this gets rid of the dreaded tumble dryer.
You'll need to blow the air outside or draw it out.... the water saturated air has to go someone or you'll just be putting them into a sauna.
This is really good stuff, we need more detailed comparisons or we won't know if we are ok or paying too much. The initial capital costs for people off grid are much higher than on grid with additional risks, like Oil leaks and theft.
Oil is pretty much stored in bunded tanks in new installations and all pipework has to meet local building regulations and should be installed to oftec standards. Im in n ireland by the way. Id worry more of fire than theft.
