I don't think so, because Octopus use Daikin and the volume of the ASHP box and the noise level are the same for the 16kW as the 9kW. As I understand ...
For my house, Octopus estimate heat loss of 8.8kW and were happy to quote, so I think they probably have a higher limit than you state. But if they ar...
