Residential heat pumps are very good at providing both heating and cooling to a home. Cost effective to run, a heat pump performs on average at the same rate as three electric fan heaters, but uses the energy of only one heater. Designed to heat a single room or large open space, many home owners and landlords are installing heat pumps over other forms of heating.
A heat pump consists of two parts; the indoor wall mounted heat pump unit and the outdoor condenser. Indoors, the unit is usually mounted high on a wall in the best position to heat the space. Behind the unit outside, there is a ducting and tubing system which leads to the condenser. This unit is positioned in an open area outdoors on a flat firm surface.
BENEFITS OF INSTALLING A HEAT PUMP
There are multiple advantages received by choosing to install a heat pump at home. They include:
- low running costs
- highly effective at heating and cooling
- low in maintenance
- quiet
- offer lower carbon emissions
- improved safety over other heat sources
- can offer dehumidifying and air filtering properties
While installing a residential heat pump costs more than a panel or gas heater, we and other heat pump users recognize the significant benefits it can provide.
