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...
I might change my mind again, but I'm currently unlikely to go with Aira, mainly due to their product being brand new, so an unknown quality. And worr...

I think their preferred business model is that the payments are spread over 10 or 15 years, so this is in effect a lease. In the UK, regulations make ...
They told me that they monitor the heat pump remotely and can make adjustments if necessary. The implication was that this would include optimising th...
I've learned some more from my discussions with Aira. They still fit Vaillants if the customer prefers. The warranty is reduced to 5 years, compared...
