No answer - thought so!

How many have you lived in with warm air heating, given that most would
only ever put up with it once. ;-)

I did actually say in another thread that I lived for a while in J&S's
heartland around Northampton and suffered the misfortune of numerous
warm air systems. There it seemed like almost every house built in the
80's or thereabouts was warm air. The first was my first house
purchase and I didn't know any better. The second house was such a
good deal in other ways (location, location, location...) that we put
up with it. More recently in our fourth house, but it was replaced as
soon as we could afford to, as have most other people on the estate
apart from some friends who seem to collect the old units just in case
theirs beaks down! Now moved again to a house that has had a wet
system since it was built.

I also said that I'm willing to believe it is possible to have a good
bespoke warm air system.

The reality, however, based on my experience, is that I would advise
avoiding the vast majority of installations or budget for their
replacement as they are poorly designed and installed.
