RE: Aira Heat Pump: Stylish Scandinavian Heating

While that's true, I understand the Daikin 4kW is the same as their 8kW model, with software to limit the maximum output to 4kW. So, if anything, it i...

RE: British Gas versus Octopus: Two possible heat pump routes - how to evaluate them?

I disagree it is unlikely. It all depends. 15% is the difference between 5.8kw and 6.7kw, so maybe a 7kw machine would be OK for both levels of heat l...
