ped Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 ...that's right, a gas boiler. To think of the basses I could have bought instead, but I guess warmth is OK. Luckily I had some savings so we could have the old system replaced entirely, which was on its last legs. It would be good if some of you could say some nice things about it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Looks like a great and effective way to get rid of your GAS. I bet it's a pain to lug to gigs though, and at 46dB you'd need at least a couple! 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) 4k5..? I spent less than a quarter of that on an accumulateur water tank, 220l, with a heat-pump in its head. It runs off-peak, about 4 hours every other night, set to 50°C, and consumes 750W to do so. It has 2.5kW elements, but I've not connected them at all, it's just the heat-pump, s'all. It supplies showers, bath and washing-up for our household of three, for a daily running cost of less than 2p (so £7/year...)... Edit : Apologies; I didn't realise that this was for central heating, and not just for domestic hot water, so no comparison. No piped gas here, though, so I'll keep the wood-burning insert and a nice warm dressing gown.

MungoBass Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Looks great and warmth is good, so probably money well spent! I’m sure it will save you money on running costs, so a NBD will be just around the corner! I don’t have GAS….rural Gloucestershire so oil only! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelDean Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I see the copper piping to get rid of any unwanted noise - nice touch. And the white will fade to a lovely cream after a few years. Maybe swap out the white control cover for tort? 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Looks like a nice installation and it'll pay you back in efficiency/reduced bills, pretty quickly. Is it as exciting as a new bass? No, but you've gotta keep the family warm or they'll set light to one of your basses to achieve the same effect. 🔥 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
