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

[SPLINE]

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

So, what's new about them?

 

[Highway Man]

The heat pumps you are referring to are crap unless installed in a new build with good insulation, otherwise dont bother they are useless.

So, what's new about them?

effiency, and now hot water, they heat and cool.

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

I knew what you meant. Looks like AI does too.

They are good, but they can’t do the job a combi boiler does.

Hot water is obviously for a cylinder. Where’s that going in a small house ?

Not much

can be in the loft or in a garage

Why now hot water ?

can be in the loft or in a garage

In a 2 bed terrace house ?

Yeah that’s better than a combi boiler with tpi or open therm and

Why now hot water ?

They can now use heat recovery (certain models) which sends the hot air expelled from the house into a coil in the water cylinder to provide hot water

as you now there are places for everything, gas heating, air con and air to water heat pumps, each has its merrits and not one system fits all.

It’s clear you’ve googled all this mate.

Yeah as I said above.

Heat recovery isn’t new, doesn’t add much and, oh you need a 210L pressurised cylinder…

Air source heat pumps are mainly useless. Gas training is £10k, air source heat is free and takes a week….


They’d have to pay me a lot to get involved

Integrated Air-to-Air Systems: Specialized units (such as the Daikin Multi+ solution) combine air cooling and heating with a domestic hot water tank, making it possible to serve all three functions in a single commercial or residential setup

Why is a heat pump expelling heat from the house?

That’s what I’ve said at least twice. You need a tank.

Heating engineers have spent years ripping out tanks, now you want to start putting them back in airing cupboards lol
