I am interested in the views of all gas engineers regards warm air
units.

Do you think they are good or bad systems?
Is there any safety issues ?

Of course, but only in line with all types of gas appliances.
Safe enough to live with if properly installed, operated and maintained,
possibly not otherwise.

Which do you feel is better,,Warm Air or Wet Systems????


IMHO wet systems especially underfloor wet systems would have to be
considered better in many respects except for warm up time.
Distributions of smells.
Dust, (even with electrostatics).
Noise levels.
Draught levels.
Difficulty is finding qualified people to service them.
Bulky ducting.


Would you install a warm air unit in your house???

I wouldn't, even if it were possible.
