Heat pumps are among the most energy-efficient forms of heating or cooling appliance available.

Today’s heat pumps are incredibly versatile, with lots of advanced features that allow you to customise the way your unit operates to enhance efficiency and complement your lifestyle.

Heat pumps work by taking heat from the air outside and using it to warm the air inside. They can do this even when it’s very cold outside. We can advise the right model for conditions like these!

To cool your room you simply put the heat pump into reverse with the remote and you have air conditioning. As well as cooling the air it also acts as a dehumidifier by catching the moisture in the air as it condenses on the cold coil.

What's right for your home?

If the area you want to heat or cool is a large living area, go for a single split unit. However, if you have a main living area and a couple of smaller areas to heat, a multi split is ideal. If you’re building new it's worth including in your budget a ducted system as this will last many years. Ducted systems can also be retro-fitted to existing homes too.

However, the right heat pump really depends on the size and shape of the space you want to heat or cool and how you want it to operate. The heat pump you choose needs to be powerful enough or it won't be as energy efficient as it could be, sending those power bills up. On the flip side, if it's too big and powerful it will be noisy, draughty, will increase your power bills and be unlikely to heat the room evenly.
