One is supposedly better than the other. You will have to find out which, as I cannot help you. We have two Daikin, and I cannot fault these. Heatpumps is all Daikin makes. |

| 1242681 | 2011-11-15 22:45:00 | Been thinking of getting a heat pump - well insulated 2 story house - only ever use a 2 KW convection heater in lounge and timed under-floor heating in downstairs bathroom - and very very ocassionally, another 2 kw heather in hall to trickle heat upstairs in very cold spells - live in Hamilton. Heating only gets used May to Sept anf highest bill $350/month - lowest is $110/month so $240 for 2 months, and $150 for 3 months = $930 for heating - that's like about 8 years to pay back/ We like it warm so would rarely need in summer. Can't see how I can justify it? |

For us, other than the cheaper power bills. For us our lounge has a highesh ceiling. The HP just warms up faster and distributes the heat better and we can move around the room. Financially a $4,000 HP that includes installation (say) - does one save back $4,000 of power bills in the 5yrs - maybe not. To us it is more a lifestyle thing. For us we might save $500 per year. And remember there is a government discount for the first HP in the lounge. This is compared to a single 2kw oil fin heater or two of them. Also you don't have a standalone unit on the floor. It is generally upper wall mounted, or mounted by the wall (wall units) or ceiling mounted like commercial offices. |
