F1245PC – An excellent choice F1245PC is part of a new generation of heat pumps, which have been intro- duced to supply your home with inexpensive and environmentally friendly heating and/or cooling. Heat production is safe and economical with integ- rated hot water heater, immersion heater, circulation pump and control sys- tem.
