Owning your own home

I have an air to air source heat pump from Daikin.

Essentially it's an 8kw condenser that predominantly works as an air conditioner but also very effectively provides heat through the same air con cassettes.

Got it installed in April so, so far, it's really only been used for cooling purposes rather than heating but it's supposed to be even more efficient at heating than cooling so let's see as winter draws in. We've got wet underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators on the other two floors but I'm planning to turn off the radiators / underfloor heating in the rooms with the cassettes and test their effectiveness.

The house is only 2.5 years old so super efficient already. It retains heat extremely well.

I paid for it myself. 4 cassettes and the heat pump was just under £9k installed.
