About The Author
I didn’t know Robert could do cartwheels 😂😂😂 + great informative vid 👍👍
Can he elaborate on how he makes zero carbon yogurt, please?
Fantastic.
What a great attitude that guy has.
Nice
got rid of single packaging …..scrolls to table showing single use Kellogg's cornflakes……
I was surprised how easy and affordable it was to go all-electric and eliminate fossil fuels from my family's lives. We sold both of our ICE cars over the past year and bought 2 new EV's. I installed a MRCool Universal heat pump HVAC system, electric water heater and electric stove/oven, and turned our gas off. We power it all with our solar PV system and small wind turbine, which produce all of our power, and save us: ~$4,000/year, with no need for carbon monoxide detectors, eternal gas bill and exhaust chimneys.
Oow, this looks like a great stop off on the way to the channel tunnel. Get a good nights rest, a fab breakfast and an overnight charge, all set for the first leg of the next European trip.
Are there not a lot of power loses with all those coiled up cables on roof? I bet if you trimmed the many extra metres off, it would be more efficient.
🙋♂️🤗THANKS ROBERT AND IMOGEN FOR SHARING THIS WONDERFUL PLACE… Looks like the pandemic was a wonderful thing and in his case pushed him to do more😅🔋🔋🔋😊😊
🤗 I also bookmark it on Google maps to visit it someday💚💚💚
Lovely episode! The big learning for me is that again, all that technology turns out to work much better and cheaper than expected! It would be great, if another B&B owner would now do a similar thing, but with right sized main heat pump, and maybe infrared panels for the add-on heating in the guest rooms… Although tbh air conditioners to also cool in the summer make thanks to climate change more sense…
Greater efficiency = Lower bills 💵. This is the message climate change activists should highlight.
Why is Imogen wearing Jay Leno's dress? 😂
❤
Montage a Hitchhikers reference? You plastic pal who's fun to be with.
informative
Great job.
Stiff Nipples @ 8:38 😀
8:42 Love the name of the AC provider. Doesn't sound right for a heat pump, though…
Fabulous episode. Javed is an impressive guy.
Not green
super interesting, hello from America 👋
Good ad for Magnolia!
👍👍👍👍- although I do hsve me comments at a later date.
Water tank is great, know exactly what is stored in the house battery, no idea how much hot water we have in the tank
Is that Charles Dowding’s brother? Great video
11:14 now this is brilliant! 👌🏻
Clear, concise communication with such useful and original content. Can you guess I liked it?!
Stiff Nipples is an interesting name for a heat pump
What a wonderful idea thank you from the Highlander😊
Our house is due for a heating system upgrade, would like to know more about the Therma skirting.
What a great video. Well done to @MagnoliaHouseRye it looks just my kind of place. I have my eye on Herschel infrared heating panels & a HydroNova hot water battery. 😀
Great use of a mix of technologies to get a control of business costs and run it a greener way.
We're very proud to be part of this B&B setup, and Javed has done a wonderful job! What a great blueprint for others to follow 🙂
Literally just about to joke about Bobby taking a younger woman on a seaside holday… When there he was in the opening montage reading 50 Shades 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome chap, obviously very intelligent but slightly madd.
Still cooking on gas. Is the induction stove coming down the pipeline?
Fantastic idea! I hope this place gets a LOT of business and this guy makes loads of money. Thank you!
Great explamations by Javed. Worth watching just for the skirting board. alone! (I do hope that Robert was able to get up again without assistance??). Thank you all.
This is just down the road from the Green and Independent Republic of Ashford, which has a designer outlet, council owned cinema in town and will soon have a town centre “Makers Market”, and along the coast from Folkestone and Hythe, also worth a visit.
Love these videos of people who have made it happen.
Congratulations
The most easy way to save energy, is to get air-to-air heat pump. It will generate heat with amazing efficiency, I have measured my own Toshiba and if outside temp is around 0 centigrades it takes less than 1 kW to produce 5 kW heat. And even -10 degrees it only takes 1,2-1,3 kW electricity for the same 5 kW heating power. I also have the Eddi + 6 kW PV array. Eddi had a payback time of 4 years only. Now it is only saving money between March and October. So these solutions do work even here in cold Finland, why not in much warmer UK?
That skirting board was an interesting alternative to traditional radiators.
Why not use the heat pump to heat the water instead of using resistive heater?
In a word…. Brilliant! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The building wasn't on OpenStreetmap at all, so I've added it with some details. Are there 7 rooms in total? Wheelchair access, wifi, and payment methods were things I didn't know, so adding tags for that would be helpful.
That solar install looks awful 😮
More of it. I am planning an extensive trip to the uk and hope to find more zero carbon houses like that I can stay in.
It's great to see this is being promoted.
Our Airbnb in NSW has been all -electric since we built it in 2018.
It's often the first time our guests have used induction cooking.
I love the comment: "Nothing… nothing what happens here is rocket science!"
Great example to us all – the only shame in this video is that insulation wasn't mentioned as far as I noticed. I did see what looked like some external clapboard wood-effect cladding insulation and double glazing and I'm sure there is more – worth a 2 minute discussion in the video, surely!
