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.

Can you highlight the respects please.

Distributions of smells.

Not a prblem with fiorced air if designed and installed properly.

Dust, (even with electrostatics).

Nonsense.

Noise levels.

More nonense. no more than any fan flued boiler.

Draught levels.

Nonsense again. A positive pressure system eliminates draughts.

Difficulty is finding qualified people to service them.

Same gas controls as on boilers.

Bulky ducting.

Designed and installed right you don't see them. Not an issue.

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

I wouldn't, even if it were possible.

It is clear you have little to no knowledge or experience of such systems
and go on old wives tales.

I would fit one any day. A forced air with fresh air vent and heat recovery
is the business. It can heat, it can cool, It can humidify it gives fresh
air and it recovers heat. All in one system.
