Air Sourced Heat Pump.

A person today that I was talking to, that has had a new build home which was required by building regs. to have an air sourced heat pump for heating and hot water, complained that the system was slow to heat or cool as required. He said that he had to have underfloor heating installed. It was slow to warm the rooms on cold days. He recently had the system set to cool the rooms on the very hot recent days. But this morning was cooler and he required heating. Is this normal?

  • If you use an inflammable gas in the heat pump you probably need to be GasSafe registered, or perhaps they haven't thought of that yet!

    Interestingly that is another area where the “Greens” have scored an own-goal. Propane etc are less efficient in a heat pump system than the older Freon types, and ammonia is not favoured due to its ability to explode, but it is used in large systems like cold stores. At least one can smell the leaks.
