WHICH TYPE OF HEAT PUMP IS RIGHT FOR ME?

Choosing the correct size and type of heat pump is essential to heat & cool your home effectively. 

​

If the unit is not powerful enough to heat the room it is located in, the heat pump will use a huge amount of energy trying to bring the room up to temperature. 

​

If the unit is too big? Too much heat will be emitted and will go to waste. 

​

What else to consider?

​

• Insulation
  The amount of heat loss your home experiences will also dictate the kilowatts required to keep your room warm. 

​

• Room orientation 
  If your room sees little sun, you may lose more heat than a north-facing room and the unit will need to compensate. 

​

• Outdoor conditions
  A home in Canterbury experiences weather extremes. Your heat pump will have to heat and cool in both extremes.
