180 liters of hot water is integrated, the Daikin does not exist without an integrated hot water storage tank.
The offer includes a buffer tank for €815 plus installation. I asked if it could be removed. With the smaller heat pump and with individual room controllers always open in the future, it should also work without a buffer tank. It only costs money and reduces efficiency.
Regarding performance:
The output is 0.85-9.1 kW. Ecoforest was 3-12 kW.
The decisive factor for startups is the smaller number; the Daikin can regulate itself much smaller before it has to shut down completely.
With a heating demand of 6.3 kW, 9.1 kW is more than enough. I asked if they would also install the smaller one with 0.85-7.5 kW, which is perhaps €1,500 cheaper. I wrote that it's okay if the pool can't be heated on the coldest days. (In the worst case, the heating rod just turns on.)
I hope that with these two adjustments to the offer I end up at €19,500, which with a 35% subsidy would be €13,000.
So it comes down to deciding between €4,800 repair and €13,000 new installation.
Is the switch from Ecoforest worth the extra cost to us?
Or do we believe that after the compressor repair, with the newly acquired knowledge about heating operation (all individual room controllers open, heat pump power limit at 3-6 kW, night shutdown, 30-minute pool program, etc.) the Ecoforest heating will run trouble-free for the next 12 years. Based on the information I have gathered on the web in recent days, I have actually become more optimistic again about the Ecoforest heat pump and had already accepted that probably no decent offer will come anymore.
