Quoted 2ish weeks before any washing machine repair person could turn up to assess the problem and then have to order parts. Cba to wait that long with washing piling up
New appliance ordered yeaterday arrived this morning, which is impressive. AEG this time.
Of course nothing is straightforward, new hose came with a big filter / water quality indicator (which no fucker will pay attention to once its out of sight) that wouldn’t fit though the shitty hole hacked into the back of a cupboard by the previous owner of our house.
My morning has been spend dismantling kitchen units, chopping holes with a jig saw and rebuilding. Tat B&Q pannels really don’t like screws going into the previous holes.
Still think you need a house battery backup. You can even get a myenergi one which can take over in a power cut to avoid having to pay money to Space Karen.
It supports it but you have to request the installer builds the circuit when it’s being installed. It’s a lot of ££ and fuckery with auxillary CUs and such. I didn’t bother.
The myenergi battery is a rebadged KSTAR setup. They’re charging a lot for what will presumably be some integration with their car charger and diverter and for it to show up in the app.
If you want maximum convenience from a single supplier and are prepared to pay for it I suppose it will have some merit.
Plus a few jerry cans of petrol will run for days when you need it. Nice clean sine wave. Enough grunt to start the fridge/freezer compressor motors.
This one’s thirstier (and, in this case, tattier) but it’s electric start and gruntier too and if you’re handy you can divert the cooling water through one or two house rads to keep yourself warm as well as well-lit.
Realising that I may have gone a bit stupid with the dividends last year and my self assessment bill is going to cancel out the deficit created by Liz Truss.
