O I am away for the rest of the week but get in touch next week and I might be able to sort out a visit to one I did so you can have a look if you like
There is a lot of bad press out there regarding ASHP and most of it is due to poor installations rather than a poor product. ASHP are not a new technology and have been around for 30yrs+ in Europe. The UK is slow to catch up on the renewable side of energy generation, compared to the gas boiler market ASHP and GSHP's installs are a drop in the ocean but 11,000 installs all can't be doomed otherwise I wouldn't have a job. If a GSHP is freezing the lawn then the collecter (pipe in the ground) has not been sized correctly. Its all about good design and implementation. Thread highjack... Sorry. When I was looking to replace my storage heaters I also thought that the rointe stuff was good and considered it a length but as there was gas in the road I when for central heating - with a gas boiler.
