Update on the Heat pump hot water unit, we weren't able to skip the water tank, so we have just accepted it as part of the cost. We got the Sanden 315L unit priced up, and it came to approx $2.4k - a lot higher than the amount wellbuild said they got ($850). I wonder why we have such a LARGE discrepancy? I'm getting worn out with this topic now and at this point we are just happy to absorb the cost as I know it is a vastly superior unit to the Rinnai. $2.4k is really a lot higher than the Rinnai one... Why would you say the Sanden unit is "vastly superior"? A few reasons: Sanden uses 0.84kw of power to output 5kw of heat for a COP of 5.96, compared to the Rinnai at a COP of 4. The Sanden unit is whisper quiet (literally at 37db) vs Rinnai at 48db (about the sound of light traffic). Sanden has 6yr warranty on the unit and 15 yr warranty on the tank vs Rinnai at 3yr for unit and 6yr for tank The Sanden unit also doesn't need a backup element to heat the water!
