Octopus Energy Daikin Heat Pump Installation - Day 4

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)

Plan for the day

  • Finish the loft

  • Install the MMI and thermostat

  • Continue the lagging

  • Commission the system

    • Test the hot water, immersion and heat pump

    • Test the heating

    • Customer overview

  • Remove tower

Once again it was a very successful and productive day. The system was live by the end of the day. There are still some finishing touches to do tomorrow. We had one issue where the heat pump was running, but the solar inverter was not seeing the load. I spoke to my installer and we just had to move the CT clamp.

The Shelly was installed. I can now see the load for the heat pump and the immersion. More about that in subsequant posts.

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
