    How about saying that a normal air con unit, with a few extra valves, can heat as well as cool - in other words, if you’ve got Aircon, you’ve got a full heat pump, just without a pipe to do the heating bit. The energy you’re spending cooling your house could also be heating your water… For free.

        Yeah, exactly. If I had funds, I’d be switching to a heat pump.

      Yup, just need to reverse the flow of the coolant. Or just… turn it around (don’t actually do that, use a proper heat pump).
