Air-to-Air Heat Pumps: Everything UK Homeowners Need to Know

May 27, 2026 · 37 min · Ep 78

In this episode of Homeowners' Q&A, we sit down with Simon Baseden of AAC Group for a frank, expert-led conversation covering everything homeowners need to understand about A2A systems.


From the fundamentals of how A2A differs from traditional air conditioning, to the realities of weather compensation, zoning, defrost cycles and hot water provision, Simon answers the questions your forums have been asking for months.


We also tackle the BUS grant head-on, including why the £2,500 offer may not go as far as the headlines suggest, which properties are genuinely well-suited to A2A and why the MCS certification landscape remains a significant obstacle to mainstream adoption.
