Does anyone know how often we need to replace the antifreeze liquid in our ground source heat loops, also does it all need to be replaced or can it be topped up by adding some new and replacing some old.
I am getting mine serviced and the engineer said they will test the antifreeze and replace if necessary at 150 litres in the system this could work out to be quite expensive, does any one have any experience of this.
Thanks
Acheiving band D with the EPC to get higher pv cell feed in tarriff and ground source grant.
We installed a 2.5kW battery charging Proven last year. Our client and we have now concluded that the performance is poor.
With the dump loads disconnected and a good wind the machine is producing no more than 800W.
Any idea what might be the problem? I do not think the cable drop is too high.
Thanks

If you can add anything or if I've missed anything please let me know.
(Editor's note: we would like to invite comments from any and all people with experience of appealing against refusals to grant permission for wind turbines in the UK. Pointers to precedents or the documentation relating to successful appeals are especially welcomed.)
I object to the final sentence under Other Information.
Is there anything I can do about it or should I just leave it?
