What are the benefits of installing a heat pump?

There are many benefits to installing a heat pump. Heat pumps are an energy-efficient and economical way to heat and cool your home or business. They deliver three to four times the amount of heat for every 1kW of power consumed, compared to traditional electric or oil heaters. They also provide more consistent temperatures and are very quiet and unobtrusive.

In Auckland, heat pumps will drastically reduce the amount of humidity in your home, creating a more comfortable and healthier environment. You’ll notice a dramatic positive difference, particularly during our damp winters. If you combine your heat pump with other energy-efficient systems, such as solar panels, it can reduce your energy costs even further.

How do heat pumps work?

Heat pumps are essentially refrigerators in reverse; they warm your home using a refrigerant. This refrigerant can evaporate into a gas and re-condense into a liquid.

Warm air or ground heat from outside is pushed over the heat exchange surface of the heat pump, turning the refrigerant into a gas. The gas moves through a compressor, and the increase in pressure increases the temperature. The heat created can then be blown into your home or used to heat water. As the heat is transferred, the gas returns to a liquid state. This cycle repeats until your room reaches the required temperature. Heat pumps are also suitable for cooling on hot Auckland days, as the process is fully reversible.

How do you choose the right heat pump for your home?

When choosing the right heat pump for your home, there are a few key decisions to make. It’s essential to select a heat pump that’s the right size for your space. If it’s too small, it won’t effectively heat or cool your home, while a heat pump that is too large will be inefficient and take up more room than necessary.

It's also important to consider the type of heat pump. There are several kinds on the market, including air-source heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps, and water-source heat pumps. Each type has benefits and drawbacks; our knowledgeable electricians will assist you in choosing the best one for your needs.

Your budget is also a factor. Doran Electricals’ experienced team will recommend a heat pump that offers the best value for the space you need to heat (or cool). Our quotes include the heat pump and the installation; we ensure there are no hidden costs.
