[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 4614166, member: 1951"] I am very dubious about ASHP for use in this part of the world. Having run one for 8 years to heat a swimming pool we normally give up in the winter. They are very good in the summer giving a very high return of heat for electricity input. However in the winter they often spend more time in de ice mode than actually heat capture mode. I run my 6 KW unit / 18 KW output in combination with 8KW of solar PV However how much of the solar we capture I have no idea as my meter does not show export. I believe these units are a con for anyone hoping to provide heating in the winter cheaply and suspect they would show very little improvement over direct electric heating. [/QUOTE]
