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?

    It could be a little unfair to blame Building Regs as I suspect there was a client or even architect concept idea of a design that was thermally inefficient, ie large areas of glass that in turn triggered a need for compensation elsewhere, ie the use of air source........


    But easier to blame Building Regs rather than a poor, but "pretty" appearance for show.
