Another update. As expected, usage is down and COP is up as the weather gets warmer. It's changed from 25-35 kWh/day and COP of 2.5-3 on cold spring...
@amyfod, as @julianc said you should definitiely get more quotes. Our 14kw ASHP plus 250l cylinder, 12 radiators and all pipework (we had no central ...
