Have just tried Best Free MTD VAT Bridging Software for Excel - https://www.comsci.co.uk/100PcVatFreeBridge, and its actually better for my setup as i can go straight from quickbooks VAT calculation, create a spreadsheet and submit from their app...

    From the sound of it, looks like heat recovery, i.e. Kitchen, bathrooms go into extract side of MVHR and bedrooms, living room is the pre-heated fresh air supply.

    Making tax digital - software for sole traders etc

    VATs been digital for a few years now, still clinging on to free stuff. However i think my next Corporation tax is also going to be digital, the normal handball method ceases to be available from March 2026, in theory i can get another submission in. So i am also looking for S/W :-(

    Domestic solar and 3-phase

    Yes inverter for TP 5KW £500, 5KW SP is £400, "small" installation could be less than 16A around 3.6KW to achieve a G98 application post install, so installer may go for that, but TBH that is a very small installation nowadays as the panels have improved so much over the years.

    Domestic solar and 3-phase

    Smallest 3 phase solar inverter i can get is 5KW, its about £100 more than the equivalent single phase, 5KW is only about 12 panels so not a big install but still need DNO approval in advance.

    UK Should combi boiler be on dedicated circuit.

    A fault can occur at anytime, including when on holiday, nothing worse than coming home to a cold house. What happens is : Breaker trips, you try to reset it, it wont have it, you scratch your head and run around making sure all the lights are in the off position, you also switch the boiler off...

    UK Should combi boiler be on dedicated circuit.

    Its not a technical problem, more a good practice so any faults on the other stuff does not mean you loose the boiler.

    Anyone installed solar on a finished roof with closed trusses?

    Struggling to see the problem, obviously the cables will end up running outside instead, dont understand 3 trusses, is that their proposed fixing locations? i would expect many more trusses along an 11M span. A photo of the roof would help also i assume its tiled

    Granny charger

    BS1363 does not appear to support this view, although i dont recommend it personally as the condition of plugs and sockets appear to be manufactured "cheaply" and their condition, from my experience, is often not "perfect" - i can see no reason to rule out its use in this country.

    Granny charger

    I have a Leaf with 40kwh battery, i use a variable charge rate between 6Amps to 27 amps, i often use the lowest setting and leave overnight. If the granny is fixed set to 10amps or 13amps then the socket would need to be in really good condition. Some chargers contain a temp sensor in the plug...
