Our verdict

About as efficient as home heating gets. If you're committing to groundworks anyway, the S1255's SCOP and controls justify the premium for many self-builders and deep retrofits.

Pros

  • Class-leading SCOP up to ~4.7
  • Excellent controls
  • Premium build

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Older refrigerant
