On the hottest day England has ever had, we’ve been able to enjoy a cool house thanks to our Panasonic Etherea air-to-air heat pump — a system we’ve had for over a year. It’s a surprise to a lot of people that ASHP can cool as well as heat rooms, but that’s the benefit of an air-to-air system instead of the more common air-to-water.
It’s not suitable for everyone — and air conditioning is arguably not very good for the environment! — but we go into what kind of system we’ve got, how much it cost, and how it’s been for us in the past year.
This video is purely about our experience with it so it’s light on technical information! Don’t watch if you want to know how a heat pump works — I’m still too stupid to understand that.
There are no stats in this video as the Panasonic app is terrible and I don’t trust what it’s reporting, but if you’re interested I can try and dig a little deeper and do a separate video about that. I’ll see how much interest this subject gets first!
Our system was installed by AAC Group who were brilliant: https://aacgroup.co.uk
