    Love my heat pump, although its not AC. In the UK if you get ground/air to water the government give you £7.5k towards it. Air to air you get nothing. I suppose it is quieter, but for the 2/3 days in summer where it goes over 30°c having AC would be nice.

      I’ve heard tell of mystery tech to make the water heat pumps make cold. I’m sure I’ll be more tempted to investigate further when summer comes.

        I live in the UK, its always humid. You will end up with a condensation radiator.

          Like it’s not humid in the American South?

          There are cities in Florida with an average humidity of 89%. The British go nuts when the humidity goes above 70% for a few weeks a year.

            You would probably end up with the same condensation issues there then. Unless the system is build differently to start with to consider that, but at that point you are replacing the entire system anyway.
