Air-to-air solution in North East England

Hi,

I’ve changed my mind from changing my new build gas boiler to an ASHP. I’m looking at air-to-air and seeking a solution for hot water.

Does anyone have experience of this in North East England? I know MCS certification may happen later this year and more suppliers may come onboard but I’ve struggled to make much progress.

I have had a site survey by Durham Air Con, who were great but weren’t so sure on hot water solutions.

I’m being realistic to have this ready for Summer 2027 but would like to get things moving if possible and an idea of cost.

My main pull for removing the gas is for an all-in-one solution to save on the standing charge and to go fully green but I appreciate the more cost effective option may be single or split unit AC and keep the boiler.

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Changing bath to shower tray

Hi, I’m planning to change my bath for a shower tray.

Google Lens tells me the pipes sticking up 20cm are a TRV for the bath water temperature.

Will I still need one of these if I’m only going to have a mixer bar shower?

Either way, how much of a job do you think it will be to relocate or remove this valve and add the pipe work up the bar shower?

I am going to remove the bath and buy the shower, the tray and the tiles myself and install everything to save on cost.

I’m in North East England, if that’s helpful.

Any other advice gratefully received. Thank you.
