My view on that: any business is good business. Even if you don't make a product or profit, you can write it off on your taxes. The more you do on your own, the less you pay. Whether it is the tax man or an individual, you keep more. Good luck to ya.

You may be able to get away with a compressor smaller than 1500 watt electrical consumption. Most units draw around 800 watts or less. If you plan on heating more than just dhw, you may need more. At this capacity level, an inverter compressor or txv is an expensive option that may not pay for itself over the life of the unit.
