Only if you manage to burn a hole in a substantial heat exchanger. Mine was as good as new when removed after 15 years service (was no longer large enough due to extensions)
Bodge the builder (with the helicopter) loked them (for the cheapness)
A whole estate near here was fitted with those by the builder. Upstairs rooms were fitted with conventional radiators. The big advantage of these over the dry system was that the fans could be modulated to give a constant output, with lower noise levels.
Also the use of a garage or outhouse located oil boiler with a centrally located indoor fan and heat exchanger serving the ducting distribution is not uncommon on my patch. (Afos is the make which jumps to mind)
But then you don't have ducting that can also be used for central air conditioning.
That is true: Where Aircon does go in these days its more about recirculationg and cooling air with refrigerating cassettes rather than full aircon.
Personally a fully modern house could and maybe should have very tightly controlled ventialtion and heating: Like Drivel always goes on about...but the cost of doing it with no standard off the shelf bits tends to exceed the cost of simply shoving in a bit of air cooling in summer...
At some level its all a compromise. My hot air blowers cold indeed have cold water going through them - sloightly refrigerated water - in summer...but he danger would then be condensation...
a/c is not needed in the UK
All parts off-the-shelf.
Neither is heating, then. Depends on whether you like comfortable temperatures at all times.
It is needed, unless the house is superinsulated, and built to passive solar principles.
With adequate design, insulation, thermal mass (this helps) and ventilation a/c is not required at all.

Im more qualified than you.....
also ive attended a few fatal incidents regards WAU...i think yo should have your licence pulled if you have this sort of attitud towards a well known safety issue in the gas industr

It's how air handling units heat air (other than electric or heat pump jobs). There must be many hundreds of thousands of them, you can't get out much.
Please sort your quoting out. I was replying to Drivel, not you. A good way of doing this would be to read
