My advice is reject unless they will delete the buffer tank. Its also one of the cheaper heat pumps with some of the poorer inbuilt controls for not a particularly cheap price given that there is onl... | ||

@jamespa my heating and hot water system works fine with no adjustments on 55C flow, so you are spot on. If we make electric cheaper (I say just do a straight up carbon tax) then many more people coul... | ||
