How Stiebel Eltron Performs in Woodford's Climate

GoodClimate Zone 6 | R134a refrigerant

Stiebel Eltron will perform adequately in climate zone 6, though cooler winter temperatures (below 5 degrees) will reduce efficiency more noticeably than a CO2 or propane unit would. Consider sizing up to a larger tank capacity to build stored heat during warmer parts of the day and reduce reliance on the heat pump during cold mornings.

Noise Levels in a Regional Area

At 44dB, Stiebel Eltron produces moderate noise. In a regional area, the extra distance between properties means noise is less of a concern than in metro locations.

What size heat pump do I need for my Woodford home?
For Woodford in climate zone 6: 1-2 people need a 150-170L tank, 3-4 people need a 250-315L tank, and 5+ people should consider a 315-400L tank. In cooler climates like yours, sizing up one tank size is recommended to ensure adequate hot water on cold mornings.
Which heat pump brand is best for Woodford?
