Air to Air Vs Air to Water Heatpumps. Now closing the gap.

[Highway Man]

They work in a very well insulated house with proper controls and properly specified.

They won’t keep an old terrace house warm.

No but an air to air split system will. Far superior

I am keeping my gas central heating in just for redundancy.

They aren’t a patch on gas central heating mate.

You’re one of the lucky few who’s happy

Far better than gas, much cheaper to run and is the future

You don’t have a clue mate. Unless you want to give us a detailed explanation?

I installed them for years mate. I think I might have a clue.

I’m not looking for an argument but they aren’t fit for purpose. You might know how to wire one in, but they aren’t up to the job.

If you could explain how they benefit over a gas heating system ? Not just claim they are the future without a shred of proof.

LOL I arnt arguing, I am F gas registered and served my time as an industrial Refrigeration engineer, I used to work on Ammonia systems (R717)

What’s your COP when it’s minus 10 ?

So you can install the units then. The rest of the system is done by heating engineers.

I think we are talking at cross wires here, I am talking of what you probably refer to as air conditioning heat pumps, not the heat pump that is air to water

Isn't that simply an air conditioning system, such as has been installed in offices for yonks?

Air source heat pump, I know what you mean

Yeah it’s an air source heat pump. The governments pushing them hard at the min.

I should have been more clear,, yes they are really coming on in leaps and bounds and can now provide hot water
