From Everything Electric Show.
In this episode Dan and the team went to visit the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) in Vancouver to find out about Air to Air (A2A) Heat Pumps. A2A Heat Pumps are not so common in the UK but in Europe, the US and Canada they represent the vast majority of air source heat pump installations in homes and are the lowest-cost option for heating and cooling. So how do they differ from Air to Water heat pumps, how do they cope in both hot and cold temperatures and are they the future of heating and cooling our homes?
