	Max output of Heat pump (Daikin 4Kw EDLA04) By GeorgeA, 11 hours ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)

	@toodles Sure, me too. The way I look at it, is providing it is acting in your best interest 99% of the time it pays off. It does some weird stuff but some of that is also Tesla.I’m on cosy at the mo...
