  Hi Adam, love the videos, but I think that doubling the diameter of a pipe would increase the volume by 4 not 8 as the length of the pipe would remain constant.

  in Europe, now days, triple glazing is not much more expensive then double, so &nbsp;more and more people rather pay a bit more for triple glazing when throwing out 30-50 year old windows when doing renovation. also triple glass windows let thru even less noise, which is an extra benefit.

  Awesome information as ever, thank you. Off to check my pipework diameter. The point about increasing insulation instead of increasing pipe diameter is a superb point and very valid in the current energy pricing situation. Save on heating costs in the long run.

  You just rescued me with this video. I want a system, but style of recent videos cuffuddled my brain. e.g. Diakin expert. To give my statement context/goal posts, I am 72 with a degree in engineering i.e. OK with the maths, but swamped by the data flow! Because I am OCD, wanted to do number crunching myself AND compare answers with someone I trust before signing the cheque. Here lays the rub, Company A is modern, forward thinking but rushed off their feet with work and unlikely to have paid for your course. Company B is loyal but “back of a fag packet, we have always done it this way”. Thank you.

  Why does the piping of a working gas system need to be upgraded to suit a heat pump?

  Great vid, however you finished with you can’t have plastic pipe work, you should have really mentioned this at the start. As was quite interested in heat pumps, but like most houses built in the last 10 years, the whole place is piped in plastic.
