All of the ASHP units I've seen look like massive aircon units with big fans... I'm in a totally silent street where you can hear a fox fart at night... I've got a chance to think of green things like an ASHP over the next few months (already having boiler work done) but my concern is noise and vibration from the fan unit. This place being so unerringly quiet that any noise will be noticeable.
Mine is loud. The fan/air con looking bit is outside and I can hear it through the (admittedly old) double glazing. There is also a huge box about the size of an american fridge in the basement. In a few years I’d like to change it to mountain (ground) source.
Are they loud?
