[QUOTE="old wrinkly, post: 191180, member: 13535"] Hi steptoe. I hope you are wrong but anyway this was already on my list of questions to ask once my plumber had visited and I knew more about any plumbing changes etc. The site states [COLOR=#000080]Fitting an 8KW unit into a three bedroom detached house and using an existing oil boiler as a back up (but rarely have we needed it) we can get the house to 21C using the heat pump in conjunction with a programmable room stat, this can be achieved to temperatures outside being 0C, below this figure and for every 1 degree drop outside the temp will roughly drop by 1 inside, so @ -5C outside you can expect 17C inside hence the need for some backup but you can also see that not much is needed and when is it ever -5C outside ALL DAY long?[/COLOR]. There is also a graph showing the ASHP will provide 7000 watts at 2C. When I first looked at the Ice Energy ASHP I was "warned" to avoid installing a reconfigured air-con unit, due to their lower performance. [/QUOTE]
