Octopus Energy Daikin Heat Pump Installation - Day 3

Heat Pump
Written By Michael Curtis

The day has finally come for our Daikin Altherma 4kW (EDLA04E2V3) heat pump to be installed. The whole process has been managed by Octopus Energy. You can follow the journey so far (My heat pump journey with Octopus Energy - Part 1, My heat pump journey with Octopus Energy - Part 2 - Planning Permission)

The plan for the day was, drain down the old radiators that needed to be swapped. Install the two new radiators. Continue with the piping and tanks in the loft. The electrician would continue the work to commission the heat pump. We are still on the temporary immersion.

My introduction to computers started at my middle school in 1981 when our maths teacher brought in a ZX80. That led the computer club being founded and using a Research Machine 380Z

My first computer was a 48K ZX Spectrum which I loved to programme. Once I left school I worked as a photocopier engineer, then a fax engineer and finally moving on the Apple computers.

For the next 30 years I worked as a system administrator. I now work in the cyber security industry as a Sophos Professional Services consultant
