Air source heat pump / ac availability

[Zed Ed]

Been waiting for an 8kw single phase Fujitsu heat/cool external unit for a while now. Been told no eta, maybe January, by the importer. My fitter ( long established ) says he had nothing for 2 months.

Is this real? Keep seeing fitting reels but mostly small splits.

Yes, as far as I'm aware there's still a big backlog of units.

By coincidence, my fitter messaged me earlier today to say a 5kw single split unit I ordered back in early August has arrived. No news on the larger multi-split yet.

My parents have also had 2 single splits on order since the same time and they're not available still.
