3 Reasons to Choose an Air to Air Heat Pump

Air to air heat pumps are thought to be the most effective in terms of the heat energy output per kWh of electricity they consume. A specific yield indicator known as COP is used to measure the efficiency rate of a heat pump. An air to air heat pump is able to generate up to 4.5 times the energy it consumes.
More benefits of hosting an air to air heat pump:
  1. It can easily be installed in a house with an existing conventional heating system. Your house does not need a hydronic heating system or additional intervention to the house.
  2. You will lower your electric power consumption rate by up to 50 percent. An air to air heat pump also has the shortest payback period of all types of heat pumps.
  3. Air to air heat pumps can easily be switched to cooling mode during the summer. Together with the built-in air filters, this will create a desirable micro climate in the room.

Is an Air to Air Heat Pump the Best Solution for Me?

Can I have more than one inner block?

Yes, you can. In bigger houses, with multiple floors, it is common to install one inner block downstairs and one upstairs. It is important to strategically install the blocks so that the warm air easily can circulate between the rooms.

Does an air to air heat pump work below the freezing point?

Yes, they do. Most heat pumps are constructed to work functionally down to -15 °C. Regions that witness periods of subfreezing temperatures during winter combined with high humidity, might consider choosing a ground source heat pump.
This is due to the fact that air source heat pumps are weather-sensitive, in the sense that they absorb the outdoor air into the compressor of the heat pump. A ground source heat pump, on the other hand, generates solar heat that is stored in the ground.

Does an air to air heat pump make a lot of noise?

Air to air heat pumps have a moderate noise level that increases with size and age. This is why the outer block should preferably not be installed close to a neighbour’s patio. It might also be a good idea to install the inner block in an area that isn’t close to a bedroom. Most modern heat pumps have a low noise level, but the sound might be perceived differently from person to person.

How much time does it take to install the heat pump?

Less than a day. An air to air heat pump only needs a hole in the wall to connect the outer block with the inner block.

Service and Maintenance

Heat pumps require almost no maintenance. Though, you might want to have your certified installer to check the condition of the heat pump once a year. You might also want to clean or change the air filters in the inner block of the heat pump regularly.
When the outdoor temperature gets below freezing point, the air to air heat pumps could suffer from ice building on the outer block. During normal circumstances, the heat pump will automatically defrost. However, it might need some help. Make sure to turn off the heat pump before defrosting it.
Investing in a heat pump shelter spares your heat pump from harsh weather conditions, and prolong its lifespan. You can either buy a shelter or build it yourself. Another way to make sure your heat pump runs smoothly is to place it facing south in an area protected from the wind.
It is always recommended to consult your certified installer before servicing your air to air heat pump. Alternatively, you can check with your installer what kind of service agreement they provide.

Reinstating or Removing Old Fireplaces

Original fireplaces are a real asset in old homes, but are not always without their problems. Step to troubleshoot the most common issues Reinstating an old fireplace can be an ‘easy win’ when it comes to adding value as part of a renovation project. Few improvements are guaranteed to boost buyer appeal to the same extent.
