I can’t work out why the government is pushing it this way. Air to air does so much more. Works faster, also works as a dehumidifier and can be used as AC, gets more localised temp control.
I do wonder if there is an air to air system for the house with also a hot water tank add on. But I guess not, would need two systems then.
For context, in my home, I’m adding an air-to-air in one room (that isn’t currently heated) on a separate exchanger.
But for the rest of the house, when I already have radiators and underfloor heating, I don’t want to run 100mm ducting, or fit split units throughout the building.
When I do eventually go to a heat pump for the main system (eventually) I’ll need to install a new tank funnily enough, as currently I just have on-demand gas-heated water.
I’m don’t want to sound like an expert, because I’m not, but I Imagine underfloor heating probably makes all the difference.
Plus a mini split on a room or two can make a big difference. I was just saying I lived in places with radiators (gas) and with mini splits. The mini splits were much better.
Personal preference and working with what’s already installed, I guess.
I think this is a long term mistake.
