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?

    My dad and his business partner built houses on spec back in the 1960’s with both electric and oil fired warm air heating, back then it was a big selling point, but fell out of favour over forty years ago. Most housing associations replaced the warm air heating with electric storage heaters and created a cupboard where the warm sir unit used to be..


    It does need a heat source with a big output or a big heat store.
