By Rob of York, 3 weeks ago |
|
| From experience this summer, a single-split A2A unit on each floor makes a massive difference in a 4-bed house that is not open plan. Warm air rises, so putting an indoor unit in the main bedroom, ena... | ||

| Yes the RAC solo is an example of self contained A2A. I would expect these to be significantly more efficient, and thus cheaper to run, than the portable standalone units with a hose that you put out ... | ||

By Mars, 3 weeks ago |

| @mrkfm, I’m definitely not trying to put anyone off getting a heat pump… quite the opposite. I think we all need to move away from burning fossil fuels, and for most homes a heat pump is going to be a... | ||

RE: Cooling using an air to water heat pump
By JamesPa, 3 weeks ago |
|
| I agree, which is why I am currently resisting buying an A2A system to supplement my A2W. I really don't want a lot of surface mounted pipework for the refrigerant circuit either. There are some sel... | ||

| @mrkfm In fairness @editor has had a particularly bad experience, a botched install followed (several years later) by a botched attempt at fixing it. He also has a difficult house. As a consequence... | ||
