Don't touch those things with a 40ft pole.

 

They brought them in down under about 20 years ago and not worth a cracker.

 

If it breaks down, you first need to contact(not necessarily in this order)

a refrigeration mechanic.

Then, a plumber,

Then a lecky

Then a computer programmer

Totally untrue. The manufacturer takes care of mine if necesarry.  Any competent/aircon refrigeration engineeer should be able to fix them - they are basically aircon in reverse.

 

There are no computerised parts in my ASHP. None at all.

The 3 phase multi-point heaters are great. Fairly instantanious full flow hot water, but I wouldn't install them again.

Before I built the house we had a 3 phase supply close by from a de-commissioned rice mill, so we just asked PEA if we could move the meter and use it.

Very difficult then to get a real electrician that knew about 3 phase installations. We eventually got someone who installs power in factories and he was the one that said to install the 3 phase heaters.

 

How is that relevant to my post please?

I don't really know why, but this thread seems to have become a bit of a slanging match.

 

I'm going to lock it.

 

If our OP would like to PM me I will re-open, or he can start a new thread.
