If their seasonal CoP is to be believed they seem really impressive. Can you install underfloor heating. If you have underfloor you can normally have a lower flow and return temp and thus a higher COP.

Have you considered air source heat pumps.

Mitsubishi are claiming to have a new range of co2 refrigerant based ones offering CoPs of up to 4 whilst producing DHW.

They sound too good to be true and they might be. I’ve not checked to deeply yet.

Many fisheries (including my fishing club) use bales of straw to limit algae growth, but I have no idea about quantities.

Siena? Lovely spot and not as manic as other Tuscan venues.

When I had PF I had steroid injections to the base of my foot. It bloody hurt, but solved the issue.
Nothing else touched it.

I was just coming on to say Croatia too! We have just been for the fourth time and love it. If you are careful about where you eat/stay, it can also be pretty cheap.

We just came back from Split/Trogir/Vis/Brac over a four-day stay so you can really get about on the ferries in not too much time.

To me it smacks of the Emperors New Clothes, doesn’t actually exist but everyone thinks its wonderful !

You could pay £50 quid for an EPC, that includes a list of recommendations from someone that has looked at your particular house. Fitting loft insulation is probably the easiest single hit.
