Re: Off topic: Heat Pumps vs Gas Boilers
"And then, as I will continue to point out, even if you can heat your house adequately with something that only produces heat efficiently at 30C or 40C, you still need water at 50 - 60C for washing and cleaning purposes."
As there is now a lower volume of water that is needed to be heated to 50-60C, there is less strain on the compressor / heat exchanger, meaning its more likely to get there without needing to run as many defrost cycles in cold weather and when needed the aux immersion heater can be used to get to those temp in the water tank. Not needing to do that for the whole heating system.
