Do you use it, and think it's worth the money?

yes in two room (living room and our bedroom). Yes to being worth the money as a) it cost 3k but estimates say it’s put 5-10k on the value on the house b) it also heats so was very useful when our central heating broke down over new year and c) running it all night in our bedroom costs 50p

We have it in the attic bedroom and the downstairs open plan room. It was installed when we bought the house. At the time, I thought it was excessive but now I love it. The attic room would be unbearable otherwise and we sleep and work there.

Ours is electric and it does add to the bills.

Yes, we have it downstairs. Really regretting not paying that bit extra to have it installed in bedrooms too. But hey ho, lesson learnt, and I'm aware its a bit of a first world problem to be moaning about.

We have solar panels, so its free to run all day. Mostly use it in summer to but in the winter its a fabulous way of drying laundry as it also dehumidifies.

Yes, and absolutely yes. It’s very efficient, an air source heat pump that does heating and cooling. Saved us loads of money in the winter, and worth every penny in the summer. I think we’re still spending less overall than we were before.

Yes - it’s fantastic. We have it downstairs (open plan), and in our office out-building, and I’ve spent most of this week working out how the best options to have it fitted upstairs too.

Our huffer-puffer (technical term lol) does hot too, and it was a dream in the winter. Much more efficient than cracking up the heating.
