    Hi fathersdaughter
    Might be too late for you to get this response now but hopefully it will be useful to someone.

    I installed the Nibe F1145(12kW)+VPB300 in Dec 2011 in a new build. It had been drying out the house for a few months and we moved in in Jun 2012.

    Happy so far with the system but it is too early to tell on the cost side of things until we go through a full cold winter. I'm hoping/expecting it to come in at around €900 for the year.

    I have a digital meter connected to the HP so I know exactly what it's costing me. The average daily cost (inc Vat) for running the HP is as follows:
    Jun €1.70
    Jul €1.12
    Aug €0.77
    Sep €1.68
    Oct €3.07
    Its a 350sqm house with UFH downstairs and oversized alu rads upstairs. We are not living in the upstairs so the stats are set quite low(17C), the rest of the house is at 20-22C depending on the room.

    The source is a horizontal collector(900m).

    We have 2 small kids who use the bath and we use the power shower. Have never ran out of water even when we use the bath and the shower at the same time. Our power showers are running at about 11 lpm

    We also have Heat Recovery Ventilation installed. I would recommend that system as it complements the HP since it stops you having windows opened leaving out the hard earned heat. The house is always warm from the HP and always fresh air feel to it from the HRV(Brink Renovent).

    I'm happy to give more info if you have questions.

    regards
