It's interesting because you usually hear the brands Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu when people talk about heat pumps. Anyone else using a Hitachi?http://Www.renopro.nz

I reckon heat pumps are great for very well insulated small rooms that have standard ceilings - not so great for high ceilings and open plan rooms without the insulation in walls with old windows. And there's lots of rentals of this standard. I agree there are other options including the panel heaters. They are cheap to run and heat the person not the room and you can now connect them up and manage every room.
I recently got a quote for a heat pump installed for $2K but I don't know the brand etc. Seems a bit cheap.

A touch off topic but we don't have any heat pumps in our rentals purely because tenants have no idea what maintenance is, the concept that there are filters in them is completely foreign right up until it stops working.
Went with convection panel heaters instead, all our places have 2.4m stud height and doors that close off the living spaces from the bedroom spaces, they work well, are cheap to run and have no moving parts.
