      I know, but I didn’t wanna pollute my comment with a bunch of pedantry, despite my name. Also people living in apartments often don’t have access to heat pumps.

      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.

            Yeah, that’s the issue to be solved. Apparently there is some sort of contraption that includes fans to prevent the condensation, but whenever I asked the heat pump people they just shook their heads despndently and told me to let it go.

            Hey, all my pipes are outside the walls. Maybe I can just build some sort of acrylic enclosure and put fish in there or something.
