Hello,
we actually wanted to use our air-to-water heat pump to actively cool through the underfloor heating as well, but unfortunately forgot to inform the electrician about this.
He said we would need room thermostats that allow switching between heating and cooling.
However, the plastering is already done, so the wiring cannot be changed. As a result, we have too few wires for thermostats with a changeover switch.
Is it possible to simply turn the thermostat all the way up and set the heat pump to cooling? Or would that cause problems with condensation on the floor?
Are there any other options?
Best regards,
Daniel

One of the neighbors... gave up on it because it was hardly noticeable... and after the system completely failed last year, he hasn't touched it since.Hmm.. strange.
I only know people who have had very positive experiences with it.
I personally found the cool floor surface very comfortable.

As long as people in the new housing developments keep tilting their windows open in yesterday’s weather, any complaints about the heat are quite amusing.
Have you asked the manufacturer? Maybe it can also be controlled via the external thermostat.
Does anyone here use passive cooling? We are still considering whether it’s worth it – and I’m still curious if it really is just a software update you can purchase afterward, as the heating engineer claimed.
