Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps as they give a constant low heat temperature. This sort of heat pump works very well with larger projects, unlike extensions, where they become costly.

All units transfer solar energy from the ground into a building, where a compressor converts that energy into warm air or warm water. Options on various models include two-speed compressors, demand water heaters, quad functions and electronic diagnostics, among others. Units should be certified to ISO performance levels (formerly CSA or ARI rating), to make the COP the key variable among different manufacturers.

Water is a good store for solar energy as even on cold days groundwater maintains a constant temperature between 7 and 12 deg The groundwater is extracted via a supply well and transported to the evaporator of the water/water heat pump and returned via a return well. Outside air offers the least expensive option for exploiting an energy source. Air is supplied via a duct put through the heat pump and returned to the outside ambience.

No. There are different kinds of geothermal heat pumps designed for specific applications. Many geothermal heat pumps, for example, are intended for use only with higher temperature ground water encountered in open-loop systems. Others will operate at entering water temperatures as low as 25?F which are possible in closed-loop systems. Most geothermal heat pumps provide summer air conditioning, but a few brands are designed only for winter heating.

No. HomeTech's Heat pumps are designed to be unobtrusive in their size, are neutrally coloured to fit into your d?cor. They run at a low noise levels so as not to be noticed.

No. Heat Pumps are generally not noisy. The source of noise in a heat pump is usually the air being blown through the grill as it is forced out of the unit. Air noise is marginally higher than ambient background noise and is usually not distracting.

All Daikin, Mitsubishi and Panasonic heat pumps use the R410A refrigerant. This is significantly more environmentally friendly than the older refrigerants.

Heat pumps are very reliable ? particularly the brands we recommend: Daikin, Mitsubishi and Panasonic. They use the same process as a domestic refrigerator and have the same level of dependability and life expectancy.

The only on-going maintenance a home heat pump needs is the cleaning of the indoor air filter, which should be done approximately every 8 weeks. This is an easy task and instructions can be found in the manufacturer's manual which comes with your new heat pump.

Vacuum Pumps or "Pumping" may cause a ruptured capillary (small blood vessels) or vein and possible severe nerve damage from the intensity of the vacuum pressure. Many "pumpers" report a loss of sensation and painful lymph blisters, a "deformed donut" appearance and in more severe cases, impotence.

With over 30 years of heat pump pool heater design experience, Rome Heat Pumps are built to outperform the competition. Advanced micro-computer technology and exclusive design features result in 25% more heating performance than other leading heat pumps. Unlike most other heat pump pool heaters, which use off-the-shelf components, Rome Industries uses components specifically designed for optimum performance. This means higher efficiency and lower operating costs than competitive heat pumps.

air health will work on all types of warm air furnaces and split unit heat pumps. air health is designed for indoor mounting only.

a normal function of all heat pumps, the unit will automatically and periodically defrost the outdoor coil. The unit's sound will change and the unit will also circulate cooler air during this cycle. On average, the defrost cycle should last approximately three to five minutes. Do not turn the unit off during defrost, as this only prolongs the cycle. (If the unit's thermostat has been set back or turned off, the unit may not defrost within a normal time period.)

No. The equipment goes inside your home, usually in the basement, garage, crawl space, or mechanical room. Because it's indoors, the life spans of the compressor and major components are greatly extended, most having a life span of 20 years or more.

Apart from being cheaper to run than any other form of heating, Heat Pumps offer many more benefits than any other heating systems. Heat Pumps do not burn oxygen or create stuffiness like open fires. They are designed for year round comfort not just the 4 months of winter. Heat Pumps produce low density heat which is safe for children and the elderly, unlike fires or electric heaters. They are unmatched for convenience for ease of use (Remote Controlled).
