We have now decided on a ground-source heat pump. Two heating installers have offered different technical options:
1. Alpha Innotec heat pump with a 400-liter (105-gallon) domestic hot water storage tank and no buffer tank
2. Alpha Innotec heat pump with a fresh water station and a large 800-liter (210-gallon) buffer tank
Which option is preferable, or how can I evaluate the advantages and disadvantages?
