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?

    By all means point out that in the "brave new world" if you don't have a properly insulated house you'll be less comfortable at times (and have to put on a jumper or resort to only heating the rooms you're actually using like our grandparents did).

    Come and tell that to my Mrs P! Our house is too old to be “properly insulated” unless, for example, the windows are replaced, which is difficult given our local listing. Father used to say that if we were cold we could move about a bit more or put on more clothing, which is fair enough (at least if you are paying the bills ? ). Problem is that Mrs P was born and brought up in the warm southern hemisphere and thinks that the whole house should be toasty warm like a care home. ?
