ASHP cooling radiators

[Friday round]

Hi all, I think my next boiler will be retrofitted with an ASHP and during this heat wave, I’m interested to know whether anyones been running theirs to cool their homes. How effective is the cooling on radiators setup? Condensation on the pipes? Any lessons that you can share?

It's ineffective and ill-advised because the cooled air just sinks to bottom of the room and doesn't establish convection like with heat.

You also get inevitable condensation issues.

If you want cooling you should consider ditching wet system all together and get a A2A multi -casette split unit.
