Our new Daikin air source heat pump
@derek-m Oh Yes,Yes, Yes! I am just having the installation of our shiny New Daikin ASHP completed as I type this and will be reporting back with (I hope) lots of positivenesses in the next few day - the installation has not gone smoothly [more anon] but the Daikin unit is just heating up now. Ambient temp in house at present is an average of 13 degrees C (do all fitters like to work with all windows and doors wide???) Type again soon.
Toodles, he heats his home with cold draughts and cooks his food with magnets.

Thank you Toodles, I was getting concerned, I thought that you may have been the one that was shot. 😋
Sunamp Thermino Heat Battery: Part of my installation this last week has been a Sunamp Thermino ePV 210 unit. Someone previously commented that they thought this unit would be a very hot box to touch as it runs at 80 plus degrees C. I can confirm that the unit running in my airing cupboard for the last 4 days or so only exhibits a case temperature of 26 degrees at the maximum on top of the case in a closed environment. Not a great deal of heat to assist in the airing of clothes as it is no more than .75 kW/h heat loss per day . The insulation is extremely good and, so far I am very pleased with the performance; mine is coupled to a Myenergi Eddi as I have 8.1 kWp of solar to help me.
