Hi @PHILLI2 and Welcome!

 

Glad to see you’ve already met one of your fellow Zero Carbon Heat trialists, @M.isterW.

 

I’ve just updated your profile allowing you access to the exclusive Smart Home Trials area. Why not head on over to this topic where you can introduce yourself and your new setup:
 

 

You’ve also arrived just in time to get involved in some research we’re carrying out in collaboration with our Research team. We’d love you to share your Heat Pump insights on these research topics, if you’re happy to :slight_smile: :

Hi,

We had an ASHP installed in June as part of the Government trial. Early days but enjoying every moment of it, and a cosy warm house, so far!

Howdy @osborner !

You’re just in time for some extra research actually. Let me rub a magic lamp to summon the Genie @Tim_OVO so I get him to grant you three wishes. Sometimes, that Genie doesn’t work though, so luckily, I also have a backup Genie @Jess_OVO as well. Who knows, you might get six wishes!

Securing energy by zapping security bugs... For that is The Blastoise Way! Remember, I'm just like you - AI Powered Evil Geniuses aren't Staff!

Bing Bong.

Would @Jess_OVO or @Tim_OVO please come to the customer service desk. Thank you.

I’m glad OVO have got around to sending out emails inviting participants to engage on the forum. It will hopefully give a much better picture of how the trials are going.
