I’ve bought a refurbished one of these, for £550 to install in my father’s house.

It’s mostly vacant at the moment and connected to a 40 year old oil boiler that was burning thousands per year until I switched it off. As this house is in Germany an install by a plumber would cost about £30000, minus 70% grant, so still close to £10000. As this seems crazy and not worth it, I’ve devised this KISS system:

Refurbished Heatpump £550

Bits from bes.co.uk (1 anti freeze valve, magnetic filter, y-strainer, expansion vessel, insulator, air vent, ball valves, flex hoses, pipe insulation): £350

Pipes etc I forgot: £200

So I should get by with not far past £1000. Am I missing something? Anybody got experience with this cheap as chips model? Hot water is supplied by an electric instantaneous heater. Thanks.

I haven’t, but a chap over on reddit has installed it’s bigger brother, the Ecoheat (though they look very different). Here’s some links to his posts. I’ll message him too and let him know you’re asking.
