Great information @Prunus.
@phil-i, you are essentially asking, "should I get a free heat pump now or wait a bit longer and pay for it". Although Grant ASHPs seem to be less...

@riponowl the other thing I meant to say was that some of the ups and downs might be because of DHW. The flow temp seems to shoot up to 55 or so a ...
