Thanks! I used CL Signs in Stockwell who aren’t specialists but have done a few heat pumps before. They did it in situ after the install. I’ve been told wrapping is fine for Vaillants but not spray painting.

@joalsop.bsky.social is the queen of modulating gas boilers! It would be awesome if boilers could be changed by the engineer when doing servicing.

@nicola.qeng-ho.org might have a view on the lowest you can set combi boiler tap water, as she worked on the Cambridge Architectural Research report that recommended 42 degrees
