My wife complains about that often.

Why oh why do they always have dropped pie looking front ends.

Ahhhhh so different to an instantaneous hot water system. I love alone and only need hot water for 2 showers a day unless life is really good to me, so would think an instant system would be perfect. The capital outlay however has put me off.

I had a gas instant system for years and it was awesome. But no gas here and the electric ones are very power hungry and the good ones need a 3 phase supply.
I'm getting used to the tank system again and the whole concept of running out of hot water... I reckon mine is probably half full of sludge and scale though. I miss my instant system...
Get an old school biomass fired boiler and fuel it with blackberries and bogans.

Our instant gas heater at home used to mounted above the toilet in the laundry. All first time visitors got a big surprise when it fired up behind them - the light and heat was quite something. That said, I guess the best place to be for a big surprise is sitting on the toilet.

A double garage is usually large enough to accommodate them. A unit instalation like this is not common and most units won't be able to be ducted due to design.
Condensate and expansion drains make this a problematic installation.

I figured you could make a shroud or something and attach some ducting if needed. Haven’t looked that hard at it yet, new hot water is a few items down the list of things to go here!

That is perhaps my greatest typo...or the sad truth. Judge away people.

Yeah... don't be going with the cheap heat pumps. It's the same modus operandi as the solar panel dickheads from a few years back. They are being dropped shipped by accredited suppliers by the container load, sold off to unsuspecting punters who then sign over their certificates to the supplier. The supplier then aggregates all those energy reduction certificates into one big bundle and then sells them on to a business that can't or won't offset its energy consumption or carbon emissions. The profit realised by your supplier can only be maximised by them supplying you with something cheap. And once they've done it a few times they deregister the business and then start again...so the warranty is worthless.
In summary, they only want the certificates...when we installed our Sanden they were worth about $2,200. That's enough coin to make it worth shenanigans. And there's no way that the cost to you will be as quoted in any internet ad. Once you get an actual quote, you'll find that the supplier won't be out of pocket...

The unit fan on most units won't handle the extra load of ducting presents.
In the end outdoor installation is best, given the unit does make some noise.

Is for me and wife.
Gas bottles here too, 45kg for $190

With a split system like the Sanden, you can put the tank inside and the heat exchanger outside provided you don't have too long a distance between the two.

Why Direct Air Capture Sucks (and not in a good way!)
UPDATED August 8, 2023 You've likely heard the sales pitch before: there will be fossil CO2 emissions we simply cannot eliminate even once we do reach actual or near-zero fossil CO2 emissions, we'll need to "draw down" CO2 from the atmosphere to avoid the need to cope with global warming long-term r
