Hi, I've been offered a very cheap second hand ASHP via a handyman friend from one of his clients who is upgrading. Apparently, it was installed but not used. It's in good faith, I've no reason to think it's dishonest, but carries the usual caveats of buying second hand. 

 

It's an Earth Save ESP (A) 410- 040 SB. 

 

Any advice about doing this as it will be a huge saving, if it works? I'm wondering if a plumber won't be keen.

I didn't get much luck searching that part number, the Earth Save website is not the most friendly they don't seem to quote the model numbers.

 

My concern is that it is one of the "classic" range which I am pretty sure are not inverter driven.

 

What more can you tell us?  Power rating etc? have you seen the installation manual? Do you have any pictures?

 

I would want to know WHY it is being replaced.

 

Ha, just had an update from my friend, they have removed it and decided to scrap it (not sure why), but I guess that is the safe option anyway.

 

Thank you for looking.
