Accessories for heat pumps and how to compare them

[Roz]

Daikin seemed to be the cheapest heat pump we could get, but after bumping up to a 7kw and adding on a third party cylinder fittings kit, plus the control panel and controller, we were then advised that Daikin aren't preferred and that Grant are better... who knows. But when I get a price for the Grant heat pump it doesnt seem to have the 'controller' and 'control box' so I don't know if it's equivalent. I asked and was told it was included in the 'installation kit' but I can't see an equivalent in there? Anyone shed any light because I have no idea what the necessities are.

 

Daikin 7kw £1940

Controller £79

control box £196

Third party cylinder kit: £185

 

Grant Aerona 6kw £1970

Installation kit: £430 

prices plus vat

An interesting comparison, where did you get the Daikin prices from, they are cheaper than any Ive seen advertised.
