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 point I was making seems to have been misunderstood, if CO2 levels many times that now did not turn the Earth into Venus, why should they now be a problem? 1or 2 degrees is fine for everything presently on Earth (including Polar Bears which are thriving) and crops like higher temperatures and more CO2. Cold kills Humans, and if you read the data rather more carefully than the headlines, it is quite likely that we are beginning to enter a new Ice age. Now that really would be a problem in a few hundred years' time!

    Venus has a surface temperature that would kill you instantly.

    But even a rise of a few degrees C would affect farming across the world, raise sea levels to flood major cities, and leave some places that are currently populated virtually uninhabitable.
