Hey @Andy2Gd ! Welcome to the OVO Forum! :)

Please wait while your request is being handled. Your local @Tim_OVO has been notified of your presence.

In the meantime, there's a small matter of the entry fee. It's £1,000,000 per week. XD

Great to have another Heat Pump trialist in the house, @Andy2Gd.

 

Happy to hand over the keys to the exclusive Smart Home Trials Treehouse (free of charge of course!) :key:

 

Why not introduce yourself and your new setup over here:

Welcome @malc_smith

Ah. So that’s a new trial, and no longer in an area for which I have the map of the Distribution Grid. :slight_frown:

We’ll await a Moderator to give your ID the permissions to enter the Smart Home Treehouse. When you get there you’ll notice that almost all the topics are from participants in a Heat Pump Trial in SE England.

I suggest you introduce us to yourself and describe what installation you have in the Welcome topic. I’ll then help to set up a new Topic specifically for those with Sönnen Storage Batteries.

(That link to the Welcome topic won’t work until you’re granted access of course!)

Hi @malc_smith and Welcome to the OVO online community,

 

As @Transparent mentions you’re our first Sonnen battery trialist to pop up here so it’s really great to have you onboard. 

 

I’ve just updated your Forum profile permissions giving you full access to the Smart Home Trials area and the thread @Transparent linked to above. So we’d love to see some photos of your setup there when you get the chance!

 

Think we might need a new Sonnen battery thread?  :blush:

Hi @hambrook 

Rest assured that @Tim_OVO or @Jess_OVO will be along shortly to ask you to choose a Mental, Mystery, Physical or Skill challenge in order to gain entry.

This looks like an ‘interesting’ one…

See you on the other side.

Oh, and by the way, it’s a three minute game with an Automatic Lock-In. If you touch the floor at anytime, you’ll be locked in and it’ll cost your team a crystal to buy you out, should they choose to do so.

Great to see another Air Source Heat Pump trialist ready to join in the discussions here. We’ll spare you the entry challenge as I’m sure you’re keen to jump straight into our dedicated Smart Home Trials area.

 

I’ve updated your forum profile permissions so you should be able to walk right in!

 

Why not head on over to this topic to introduce yourself and your setup?:

Howdy @Nicllb !

Unfortunately, your request cannot be granted at this time, as my magic wand isn’t working for some reason. You OK if I borrow some magic from @Tim_OVO and @Jess_OVO to get you in via the back door?

We’ll let you know once I manage to fix my broken wand and get you in. Unless you want it to do the exact opposite somehow...

Greetings traveller @JoeC ,

If you seek entrance to the Treehouse, first you must present to me the Kings Seal from a specific game show. You must identify that game show and reveal the name to me, in order to receive the key. Pass, and you shall proceed. Fail, and you shall be locked out forever… XD

Good luck.

Clue: a crystal or two might help. Or it might not.

Had a heat pump and all new rads installed in July and noticing the difference now it’s getting cold as the house is warmer than it was with the gas boiler, largely because the radiators are big enough now. Bit expensive to run though. Currently about twice as much as this time last year.

Are you on the OVO Heat Pump trial, @jetowey?

 

If so we’d love to grant you access to our Smart Home trials area so you can share this insight in those Research topics. :point_up:
