A "variable speed compressor" is what you want in a heat pump, as these modulate their speed (and electricity usage) to produce a constant amount of heat. You might be okay with a 24K BTU system, especially when coupled with the thermosiphon and then some effort spent on insulation & air-sealing?
Here in the US the base system would be about $3K USD, but with installation costs on top of that.
