I wondered if anyone had experience or opinions on the Hybrid air source heat pumps? I know Daikin produce one that gets some good reviews, and Mitsubishi do a system as well. I'm doing a new build this summer, hopefully to be completed by Christmas or early next year. I want an airforce heat pump but, i don't want a storage or header tank, as it's a flat roof property, with nowhere to put it, and i still am a fan of only using energy when it's required (rather than loosing it whilst it sits in a tank all day while we're at work). I'll have underfloor heating for the majority of the home, and obviously it will be thermally efficient. My worry with the airforce heat pump is that it seems to let people down when it gets most cold, and i don't want to be left without hot water. I can't get mainstream gas, so i'll be reliant on LPG, so i thought that the hybrid would supplement the system when needed. The only thing that confuses me is the mitsubishi system says it's not really suitable for new builds, and i'd have thought there would be a lot more hybrid systems on the market if they were such a good solution. Am i missing something?
