Lobbying for heat only air conditioning to receive public support

It's a unique UK probelm. Mainly because we don't have the brains to understand how they work and our housing stock is hilariously bad.

It's off-the-shelf supermarket common everywhere else. If you have a large house and no funds you just install a multi-head capable split then install rooms cassettes as required.

Whilst i am an advocate of A2A HP there is one issue rarely discussed and that is that hot air rises and the temp difference can be significant, perhaps 5/6 C between ceiling and leg height. This means that when warming up a room one has to wait for the "warm air to come down".

Now compare that to a system where the heat is largely radiated eg electric element or wood stove. There is a lot to be said for radiant heat heating and electric fires, the heat is almost immediate and direct and one can feel warm when the house is cold. I was in a factory the other day where workers had radiant heaters directed at them and i have been in factories with overhead gas radiant tubes.

Just feel we are missing a trick somewhere.

With an A2A the air circulates surprisingly well so there is no noticeable temperature difference high-up to down-low. In fact I’ve been surprised how well the warm air gets into my son’s room which is some distance away and round the corner from the A2A.
