    The trick is to just install good AC units (multisplit) and rip out the old boiler piping. They have the most optimal heat exchanger for a small area. Unless you have in floor radiant heat, of course.

      All of the climate reports for the uk suggest we will need air conditioning 10 times more and our heating will be needed less. So the future should absolutely be in air conditioning and two way heat pump systems

        They are also significantly cheaper then upgrading the existing boiler installs. At least in Germany that’s the case, and we have a ton of bodged installs that work but are far from efficient.
