The Beginners Guide to Heat Pumps
The Beginners Guide to Heat Pumps
If you’re new to heat pump installation, you may have a few questions. The Heat Pump People can guide you through all aspects of heating and cooling systems . Here is a beginners guide to get you started.
How Does a Heat Pump Work?
Heat pumps have a misleading name as they can also cool rooms. In heating mode, a heat pump does not create new heat, but rather moves available heat from one space to another. In cooling mode, the heat pump absorbs the heat from the room and expels it into the outside air.
Therefore, a heat pump is an effective solution for both commercial and residential customers alike.
How Do I Choose The Right Heating Or Cooling Solution For Me?
When faced with a variety of choices, it is common to feel overwhelmed. However, before you become too stressed, ask yourself a few questions:
- What is the size of the area I wish to heat or cool?
- What is the level of insulation?
- Where can the heating or cooling solution be located in the room?
Having a clear answer to these questions will help you decide which heat pump or air-conditioner will be suited to your needs.
Installation and Warranty Questions
The length of installation depends on the system being installed. However, it can take anywhere from four hours to a full day. The warranty for a new heat pump in New Zealand is generally between five and six years.
Is A Heat Pump Energy Efficient?
Heat pumps move heat from one place to another and as such, the energy required is used to run the compressor. For this reason, heat pumps are one of the most energy efficient heating solutions available using approximately 1Kw to create 4kW of heat, which has been verified by the Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority.
