I can't vouch for any vendors, but when I was looking these were the cheapest places for the units I was interested in...
air-heatpumps.com
orionairsales.co.uk
www.carltonservices.co.uk
www.saturnsales.co.uk
www.acsalesdirect.co.uk

The warranties varied greatly from supplier to supplier so be wary and probably best calling them to double-check stock. Prices in the EU seemed generally cheaper than here, but none offer shipping to UK.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17646&Focus=298984#Comment_298984 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17646&Focus=298984#Comment_298984 Fri, 25 Nov 2022 06:03:04 +0000 cjard http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17646&Focus=298985#Comment_298985 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17646&Focus=298985#Comment_298985 Fri, 25 Nov 2022 06:04:10 +0000 cjard http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17646&Focus=298989#Comment_298989 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17646&Focus=298989#Comment_298989 Fri, 25 Nov 2022 06:48:24 +0000 borpin Posted By: VictorianecoI bought my last 2 air-air heat pumps from appliancesdirect but they're out of stock for 6 weeksInterested to know which one you used in the first place.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17646&Focus=298998#Comment_298998 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17646&Focus=298998#Comment_298998 Fri, 25 Nov 2022 08:58:01 +0000 WillInAberdeen http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17646&Focus=299000#Comment_299000 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17646&Focus=299000#Comment_299000 Fri, 25 Nov 2022 10:15:08 +0000 owlman Posted By: WillInAberdeenCan you just buy an air-air heatpump online - thought you needed to have an F-gas certificate?



Quite a few suppliers will only supply to refrigeration engineers i.e F- gas qualified personnel.
Refrigeration, so called "easy fit" pipework does I think exist although I also believe, you may need special crimping tools. Many refrigeration engineers, however, don't trust it and prefer brazed joints especially when subjecting the pipework to the very high-pressure testing, before commissioning. Manufacturer compressor warranty may also be affected down the line, if on return to base inspection it's discovered that the said pipework wasn't Nitrogen flushed prior to refrigerant filling.

Potential for refrigerant leakage is the reason for the F Gas qualification, also the initial supply of refrigerant gasses. Although many Air-Air units come pre charged the final operating pressure and safe removal of any excess gas from the pre charge is another reason for the F-Gas qual.
In this instance DIYing it, is NOT an option IMO.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17646&Focus=299009#Comment_299009 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17646&Focus=299009#Comment_299009 Fri, 25 Nov 2022 17:30:46 +0000 philedge http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17646&Focus=299016#Comment_299016 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17646&Focus=299016#Comment_299016 Fri, 25 Nov 2022 23:57:04 +0000 Victorianeco

John Guest don't do air conditioning fittings....

It is called easy fit because the units come pre gassed, and you essentially just connect the pipes and the gas transfers from the inside unit to the outdoor unit and fills the pre-defined pipework]]>
