Does anyone here use a multi-split system for heating, for example as an alternative in older buildings when insulation or renovation is no longer worthwhile?
I’m not familiar with the various split systems, but I’ve come across them often as an alternative to conventional heating when insulation and renovation hardly make sense anymore for the current residents.
I would have concerns about noise, drafts, and the resulting dust circulation since it is an air-to-air heat pump after all.
A photovoltaic system would at least be available for the transitional period from spring to autumn.

What exactly does the smart meter measure? Heat output? Electricity consumption of the indoor unit? The outdoor unit?
The indoor units shouldn’t actually consume that much power, since the main work is done by the compressor in the outdoor unit. The indoor units mainly only need electricity for the fan. And a 320W fan would be quite powerful.
If the manufacturers’ SCOP figures are roughly accurate, the values should be somewhere around 3.5–4.x, depending on the device. That would put them at least on par with typical air-to-water heat pump systems with underfloor heating.There is only one power connection for the outdoor unit. The indoor unit is powered by the outdoor unit. So the 320W represents the total power consumption of both the indoor and outdoor units combined.
