Air to Air Heat Pumps
@editor Yes, plastic reusable filters than need cleaning maybe monthly subject to how much you use it and how dusty your home is. This is very easy though.

@editor I do have to say though, I think nearly everyone that works for me have them though, as they get them for cost if they are staff, so its not a chalk and cheese thing its more I am not allowed one in my house due to the way they look and my home is perfectly insulated and slightly shaded that when outside is 34 my kitchen is 26 and my living room 24, so i do manage somehow to keep the building cool or cool enough I have never needed to charge to the office and chuck one in over a weekend, we also live 165m above sea level at the very top of a hill overlooking the channel so we often get the sea breeze which probably helps a lot.
Also, I have a fully air conditioned office 3 miles from my home so I can go there when it 40 Deg C.

@ashp-bobba good advice and thoughts. It depends what the customer is really looking for and their circumstances. A2A will always be cheaper to install with more variations. A2W is often great with UFH but slow to work and no real cooling option. We've just installed to a church, A2A and also infra red panels as that was the best solution. Another church wanted UFH to to toilet and kitchen areas so again a great option.
@ashp-bobba interesting insights. We also chatted after our podcast recording yesterday (it was on maintenance and servicing if anyone’s interested) and I was genuinely surprised how many A2A systems you fit in domestic properties for heating. I thought the A2A market in the UK would be purely commercial/retail.

@editor Something changed in this last 12 months, they seemed to be a higher demand, although I think the interest is more cooling led, there is a strong selling point for heating. Multi splits seemed to be very popular this year where a home owner can have 3, 4 or even 5 units off one external unit to cover a large amount of areas in the home.
