| @jamespa Not considering octopus as I do not agree with their heat loss, in addition they want scaffolding, asbestos survey as well as can only fit maximum 200l cylinder. 9kw would be quite oversized... | ||

| All noted. There are a few observations worth making here. A 140sq m 2004 house should not have a loss anything like as high as 6.4kW. I suspect heat Geek know that and may have taken it into accou... | ||
