The defrost cycle on the unit alone takes 30 minutes to complete every morning.
    Thank you for letting me know that MR, I’ve been considering changing our ducted gas to RC electric with the same scheme, but I have heard from a few others about similar problems that you have, plus it’s still an 11k cost.

    I still love my gas heating, and it’s so quick to warm up, and never goes into “defrost” mode.

    think we will update our fireplace instead, our old one is pretty inefficient, but love turning it on to watch those flames dance.

    was also considering changing from gas stove to induction, but only reason for that would be so it’s easier cleaning for the wife, and again, mixed reviews about induction stoves.

    The nights have been cold but the days beautiful, decided to get out earlier and do 15 km on the exercise bike at Allianz then a few stretches in the indoor pool, then went to Azure in the EQ and ran into John Longmire the former Swans coach and had had a chat to him and got introduced to Tom Harley then had a nice salad for lunch, Oh Andy it's great being semi retired

    According to the BOM, a top of 5.4 between 2:30 - 3:30 this afternoon. But even then the ‘feels like’ temp was actually between 1.8 - 2.8.
    Mixed in days coming up at 15, it’s a crazy winter thus far.

    It’s absolutely freezing here today. It’s currently only 6 degrees and I don’t think it got much higher than that earlier today.
