Answer

This is greater than the maximum energy rate, so you should $\underline{ not \ get \ the \ system } .$

Work Step by Step

We see that there is a 35 degree temperature difference between the minimum temperature and the desired home temperature. You lose 1.3 kW per 1 degree C. This gives: $ 1.3 \times 35 = 45.5 kW$ This is greater than the maximum energy rate, so you should $\underline{ not \ get \ the \ system } .$
