Default air source heat pumps

Hi all
air source heat pumps anyone got any ideas about them or experiance fitting them or what regulations I should be following?
Ive installed two in the last month. one is a 12 kw unit onto a heating system. the other is a pressurised hot water cylinder with a built in air source heat pump on top. I can already self certify the pressurised cylinder but what about any regs dealing with the air source heat pump on top

no regs at the moment apart from part P but they are in the pipeline you can get a BPEC or NIC qualification for heatpumps which will enable you to self certify when necessary

Nu-Heat do a course covering both air source and ground source which is NICEIC approved, Dimplex also do courses on both types of heat pumps but slightly more expensive as you have to pay for two separate courses

hi markfxy
been flat out busy as usual. I am going to look into all your suggestions and try and get myself booked on a course before the end of the week. I have to confess I am quite taken be these pumps and would like to fit more of them especially the hot water cylinders. have you fitted any air source heat pumps if so what are your thoughts on them.
