  Those are really impressive results - no wonder your parents are so proud!   Hard to believe how little electricity it takes to keep the house toasty warm on a well-designed heat pump system.   Well done!

  I never thought about it, but your Dad is absolutely right - you really have no idea as to what the outside temperature is

  Great to see and hear that your parents are happy with the heating and feeling in the house. It's perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of having a well designed and installed heat pump that they provide a much nicer even consistent heat without the ups and downs of other heating options.

  Actually measuing the ACH with a blower door and not just using the CIBSE assumption was a stroke of genius. Well done!

  Excellent video, ευχαριστώ πολύ from an EmonPi user in Greece.   I've caught up with it late, but happily via your post on Bluesky, glad to find you there.  Reverseable air con here, cooling during the long hot summer, heating during the short cool winter, unfortunately I can only monitor electricity consumption and room temperature.

  Just installing my heat pump this month. The &quot;normal&quot; survey suggested a 8kW (or more!) but my measured gas data says otherwise - 3.5kW will probably be enough. I used &quot;Michaeal de Podesta&quot; system for estimating heat pump size. I&apos;m installing a 5kW for a little head room. I am glad that cycling isn&apos;t a problem as I think that will happen. <br><br>I replaced my combi boiler for hot water and I&apos;m running on just the 3kW heater for my 300l cylinder. I installed a &quot;Recoup&quot; waste water heat recovery system. We&apos;re a family of 5 and my electric hot water bill is about the same as the previous gas heating bill. Amazing! I can&apos;t wait to see what it&apos;ll be with the heat pump heating my water.

  Informative video... 👏 Installed ours 3 years ago. Have relatives in Sweden that used heatpumps for years already. The heatpump just works brilliantly.
