Hi folks,
I have:
* 25 year old oil boiler which is akin to Trigger's Broom.
* Live in a large converted barn, large open spaces and normal radiators which need changing.
* Excess solar generation (9KW)
* Large battery bank and the ability to recharge it at night at 7.5p/unit.
I want to get install a few aircons in the house which will use excess solar/battery to warm the house up.
I also pondering using a air-water heatpump to run the rads. The best I can find is one which goes up to 65C on the water temp.
Given I have loads of spare electricity, this feels like the best thing to do.
Question:
Does this sound like a bad idea? Anything wrong with the mix of the two?
