Why are air-water heat pumps so expensive?
They add nothing more than a £100 quid plate heat exchanger and price it in as another £3 grand or so.
What a rip off.
A panasonic air/water Aquarea T-Cap 12kW Monoblock is £5 grand inc vat and delivers 12kw.
An LG Multi split air/air with eight indoor units gives a combined heating capacity of 20kw is £2769 inc vat.
So you have the heat emitters included and another 8kw of output for nearly two and a half grand less.
Air/water is little more than a gimmick foisted on the domestic market.
Manufacturers have seen the opportunity and are milking it for all its worth. Foolish government subsidies are not helping either.
