Good Lord - $2600 for a whole house system? I think that's what my local (mid-Atlantic US) HVAC shop is getting for a single-room mini-split.
Wait until people find out about ground-source heat pumps and water heater heat pumps. What you get out of those is more consistent year round, too. It's almost like leveraging technology has benefits over just burning carbon and hydrogen to make heat.
Yeah similar in the UK. £3k for a single room mini split. £6k for a two room, etc. There's no way you're doing a whole house for less than bend-over money.
