Daikin Altherma 3
Pick the Altherma 3 if your home needs high flow temperatures — it's happiest where others struggle. Slightly lower SCOP and uses R32 rather than a natural refrigerant.

The value disruptor. Octopus's bundled install plus the grant can make a heat pump astonishingly cheap, and the Cosy 6 itself is a capable R290 unit. Best if you're an Octopus customer.
