    Neura manufacture a self contained heatpump which is located partially buried in the garden, rather than being located internally within a house or shed. I am wondering if anybody can suggest any similar system?

    That sounds a bit odd. Isn't one of the main points of Heatpumps in general that any waste heat from the pump gets added as a plus because it is still useful heat to the house ?

    Shirley sticking the pump outside would then negate a big chunk of the benefit of using a heatpump, because you're taking a big chunk out of its efficiency ? :confused:

    You should try to locate a heatpump internally as much as possible, as transfering the energy produced to and from the house causes heat losses no matter how well your flow and return pipes are insulated.
