RE: Gas Combi to ASHP - Making sense of survey results and proposal.

An annual gas use figure of 13000kWh, as long as you are close to keeping the entire property at 20° for most of the time, would suggest a 5kW ASHP wo...

RE: New ASHP system - choices

@mattc The heat loss was done for a temperature of -2.5°C and produced a figure of 7.31kWh for heat loss. That would work out at 175kWh for a day a...
