Reply to comment by [deleted] in Struggling to afford heating bills, Britons turn to 'warm banks' to keep out the cold by rein_deer7

I mean sure, energy efficient devices are designed to work with energy efficient homes.

If you don't want to bother "making your house suck less" just throw a unit aimed at a larger structure at your home.

It won’t work - ground source heat pumps are subject to the amount of land available and over an extended time period are subject to a diminishing rate of return. As for air sourced… I used to be a facilities manager for a national retailer and the number of noise complaints we’d receive in respect of AC and refrigeration plant would make your eyes water. What do you think the reaction would be to thousands of air sourced heat pumps being installed in a neighbourhood?
