It’s absolutely wonderful. I am looking forward to being able to study and not have fingers so cold that I struggle to type accurately!
The cooling over summer is going to be great too - I have had airconditioning, but it is noisy old box units that are so old it’s amazing they still work (they were old when my Mum moved in 30 years ago!). It will still have to fight against poor insulation, but my estimates are it could end up saving me about $600 a year on electricity.
If ypu’ve got a standard roof, its not a MASSIVE job to get up there and install some additional insulation bats yourself.
Best tip for the splity though, get the WIFI module so you can control it with your phone. Then set up schedules so it comes on before you get up in the morning.
Unfortunately the main lounge area is a flat extension, with no access for exta insulation there. It also has a lot of windows - basically one full wall of full length single pane glass. Which is great for having a view, but terrible for heating / cooling. At least it is south facing and not getting any direct sun during summer.
There are timer options built in to the system just using the remote, so I can do that without an extra app - I’ve already got it set to come on in the morning before I get up for work tomorrow. 😀
