Quick one…
Does anyone know of any good online resources for unbiased comparisons between Air-to-Air and Air-to-Water #HeatPumps?
I've found a couple of YouTube videos, but most stuff otherwise seems to be “biased” towards A2A or A2W rather than giving a balanced opinion?

Here are the top heating and cooling news stories of the last month ♨️

UK homes install subsidised at record level

"Ed Matthew, [of] think tank E3G, said the decision by the previous government to increase the grant by 50% has had the biggest impact on the installation figures.

THE CITY - NYC News · Electric Heat Pumps Get Warm Reviews at Queens Public Housing DevelopmentBy Samantha Maldonado

Companies that have recently pissed me off:

Liquorland.
Delivery truck does not use the delivery dock, but stops on the street, reverses at a angle so they can use the raised part of the pedestrian crossing as a unloading dock. Not safe for drivers, pedestrians or their own staff and against DA.

Been going on for months. Contacted them, with out improvement. Today got dobbed into council, local MP and media.

Cyanergy.
Talked to them about a cheap heatpump hot water system 2 years ago. Keep calling me even when I tell them not to call me. First rule of sales, don't piss the potential customer off as now there is definitely no way I am buying from them.

While we are at it,
Resinc Solar.
Similar, except door to door sales. Very pushy, won't take no. Also no up front cost sees you pay more.

have released Cosy Boost credits. For those with Cosy They are going to credit your account with £1 any evening the temperature drops below zero degrees.
Just checked the data and it looks like 10 occurrences since the beginning of the year!
