Other Information In relation to broadband services, our clients tell us that fast broadband is thought to be coming to Threlkeld in about 2017. However, in the meantime our clients have a contract with EE who have installed 4G into the local mobile mast which is just above the village, so there is an excellent signal providing a connection which offers between 10 and 20 Mbps. Using wireless repeaters provides coverage over the whole house. and the setup is very reliable. The main roof has integrated Worcester solar water heating panels controlled by a state of the art Steca controller. This automatically integrates the water heating from the boiler with that from the solar panels. The output of the panels is about 150Kw in each of the summer months. The roof over the mezzanine sitting room has integrated Romag Powerglaz PV panels with a peak output of 2.88kw. These were installed in 2010, benefiting from the full PV tariff. This produces around £1000 per year tax free and is guaranteed to do so for the next 15 years. The tariff is automatically uplifted every year by the RPI rate of inflation. The oil-fired central heating is controlled by zoned Danfoss wireless thermostats. There is a wireless watchman oil level indicator in the mezzanine lounge. The kitchen has electric plinth heaters controlled by a separate Danfoss thermostat.
