    I bought one a couple of years ago and only used it 2 or 3 times because of the running noise. I would suggest noise level being top priority when choosing one.

    I have a heat pump now and it's an ac unit in the summer. Quiet as a mouse

    does it circulate/pump cooled air ?

    and if so do you heat via air or water?

    It's an air to air heat pump. A heat pump is basically an AC unit running backwards. The air from the room runs through it and comes out chilled.

    Thanks for responding, what about heating? Is that via air too?

    my ideal unit would heat via UF air to water and then pump chilled air in summer

    You can definitely have air blown AC with an air to water heat pump. How much extra it costs though I don't know
