It seems our Eco Hat has gone mad. The day before Nuaire came to get the hot water element working, the fans all seemed to go up to full boost of their own accord.
They fitted a data logger at the time, which is just as well, because several times in the last week the same thing has happened, the only cure is to switch the whole system off and reboot it, which causes quite a dramatic spin up and down of the fans!
It’s annoying, as when they’re going fast, the vibration can be felt through the house, and the fan noise, although quite isolated to the “service area” (read bathroom) can be heard throughout the home, especially if they go insane during the evening.
Apparently we’re also missing some cladding inside the eco-hat, which was supposed to be put their by Wood Newton, to improve insulation and also stop moisture building up between the hat and the house. No news on when that will be completed.
The problem was phoned in a few days ago, and so far, we’ve not had any indication as to when Nuiare will be back on site, I hope it’s sooner rather than later as the intermittent problem seems to be happening with increasing regularity.
On the plus side, the new digital readout from the eco hat is great, we knew this morning that it was zero degrees outside, but a bearable 15 inside, with no central heating being used whatsoever.
