Air Sourced Heat Pump.

Zoomup
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?

    The European Social fund paid for me to do a training course organised by Coventry University that explained the proposed Building Regulations requirements and building to Passivhaus standards, as well as actually doing a building air tightness test with a blower door, you are not even on  the same wavelength.


    Regards windows the expectation is that they will be sealed and triple glazed with E-glass with heat recovery ventilation systems.


    Regards radiators, they can be the size of the floor.


    And so on and so forth, you have the wrong mindset.
