Estimating true heat loss from twelve months of consumption data
Thanks - something to certainly consider !
Escaped to the country : central Devon - 280 sqm converted mill - 4KW Solar - 15 KWh Battery - UFH - Vaillant Arotherm V2 Plus 12KW (soon!)
Finally, after what seems like an eternity, we paid a deposit for a heat pump installation.
The unit should be installed the week starting November 9th.
Thank you to everyone on this forum for your help.
I really must echo the sentiments that many on here share - consumer knowledge makes a massive difference to the buying process: So, so, many people must walk into the purchase of a system without understanding the basics and simply put blind faith in their installer.
Time will tell if I chose well or not, but I have confidence that we and our installer are aligned and things should go well.

@ian33a What size unit did you get in the end? My guess would be 12kW?
ASHP: Mitsubishi Ecodan 8.5kW
PV: 5.2kWp
Battery: 8.2kWh

I did, indeed, go with the 12 KW Vaillant unit.
