In order to help you decide the type of air to air heat pump that will be most suitable for your home, we invite you to fill in the form on this page with your personal preferences and information, and we will provide you with up to four different suppliers of heat pumps.

What Is an Air to Air Heat Pump?

The growing popularity of renewable energy sources has spurred the nowadays folk to be more eco-conscious, a trend that is reflected by a continuous endorsement of the alternative energy technologies for meeting the daily household needs. One of the so-called ‘green know-how’ devices that currently enjoys a growing interest from customers (homeowners, ‘green’ advocates, businesses) is the air to air heat pump. This innovative household appliance is gradually becoming the heating system of choice not only for the homeowners that are concerned with environmental sustainability but also for those who are looking to get a cost efficient heating as well.
The air to air heat pump is part of a broader spectrum of heat pumps (ground source, air source, air to water), pertaining to the air source heat pumps category. It is worth mentioning that the air heat pump is proving one of the most efficient compared to its ‘siblings’, mainly due to low installation and maintenance costs, ability to deliver a coefficient of performance that is equal or above 3 and by being able to control the room temperature levels in an autonomous fashion.

Modern air to air heat pumps are capable of extracting heat even from the cold air masses outside your house, since, as strange as it sounds, the cold air contains a certain amount of heat too. In other words, the heat tends to be transferred from warm to cold objects due to its physical properties. What we are left to do is to take advantage of this natural phenomenon, and use it for our own good. One can easily test it by placing outside an object whose temperature is lower than the one of the environment it is placed in. In this case, the cold object will inevitably start absorbing heat from the surrounding air masses (whereas these are warmer than the object itself), following the thermal transfer principle employed in the air to air heat pump.

Choosing the Right Air to Air Heat Pump

Before rushing out to buy an air to air heat pump, it is important to consult with a certified heating engineer. Only after carrying out the right calculations in terms of how much heat your property will require will you be able to select the air heat pump that will correspond to these heating needs, and then you can proceed with purchasing the pump.
Many experts believe that the most profitable method to ensure a comfortable microclimate for one’s home is to combine heating with air cooling, something that an air to air heat pump is able to deliver. This will save on the equipment and on the acquisition of air conditioners. What makes this pump user-friendly, in addition to its autonomous control of the temperature levels, is the possibility of installing the pump’s external unit in various places, from outer walls to roofs and even balconies.

How to Perform the Right Calculations

As noted above, the selection of the right heat pump is a complex and scrupulous process involving a number of calculations that will account for the property’s heating necessities and determine the required air heat pump’s heating capacity to meet these needs on a daily basis. The first step is to determine the rate of the building’s heat losses. This rate can be calculated by using the following formula:
Q = S*(t int. – t ext.)*(1+Σ*β)*n/Rr
where:
“S” is the walls’ surface
“t int.” is the indoor air temperature
“t ext.” is the outdoor air temperature
“β” is the coefficient measuring the impact of the surrounding environment
“n” – additional heat losses
“Rr” – thermal resistance
The resulting data will be used for calculating the property’s total heat losses on the basis of which the annual energy consumption will be established. Next, one should calculate the time it takes for a pump to heat a designated area and the electric power it consumes while doing so. These calculations will help you choose the air to air heat pump that is right for your home.
