You're lucky you could do that. from these part of the world, the shipping cost alone may discourage one. Can you share how much those POP materials cost now. when I bought my cables about the same time hajji bought his spend 480k too then. thanks to hajji then if not I probably spend more today.
Thank God for that at least the materials i am still collating the figures and would like usual upload the excel sheet later

calculations definetely it was not 42k

Go for it, as long as most of (or at least half) the total number of indoor units will be running at thesame time; else it will be waste of energy. For instance, paint a picture where you are the only one in the building for ssy one week. The outdoor unit will be running just because of one indoor unit. In that situation, a single split Ac would've been a better option. You get what I mean? It needs enough load to perform well and save energy.
That is absolutely not true, they are so made that even if you are using only half of the split it only takes the energy needed for that half, that is why it is called an inverter A/C it takes only the Energy needed at a particurlar time. Ever heard of inverter Generators the load it carries makes it either uses more fuel and if it carries less then it uses less energy

Nice, quick response. But I've observed you seem in a hurry to foreclose anything new. Always keep your options open so you have something to fall back on if things don't go as you perfectly planned it. Just saying
Your Observation is very wrong, but thanks anyways i have that end covered where i am based we always do our homework b4 embarking on anything. Thanks once more

Congratulations on your project. I have been an engineer for almost 20 years and I used to live abroad myself and got acquainted with a whole host of technological innovations. I can contribute to your dream home in the area of the alternative energy you plan to explore i.e solar/inverter installation and inspection. Also it is possible if you can afford it, to add lots of security features and automatic access control features to your home. You could bring them from your base and we would install them professionally or we could do everything ourselves. Note that many of these electrical jobs require some calculations and testing and fitting equipments which these bargain artisans would never want to buy. Fires do come from the kitchen, but as Kate Henshaw came to learn, they can come from an air-conditioner wired with the wrong gauge wire and cheap sockets by illiterate artisans. You can send a mail to dwightventures@gmail.com to get the full brochure of the devices and services I offer. I'm presently looking to build a client base and I don't know many people so it would be great if I did a great job for you and get introduced to other individuals, companies and governments. I am presently based in Ibadan but I am a Lagosian.
Thanks i have gotten that end covered

I forsee some disadvantages here. Depending on the distance to point of use, cold water in pipe will make it longer before hot water comes out. More electricity will be consumed as the water has too be maintained at temperature even its only one location that needs it at that time. When it fails all location will be affected.
The boiler is going to be the Latest with A+++ with less Electricity and fantastic water heater temperature at all times
