Always there, embracing you with warm or cool air

Heat pumps convert energy from the outside to the preferred temperature for your home. Initially, a refrigerant in the outdoor heat pump unit absorbs heat from the air, earth or water. The refrigerant enters a compressor, where it is pressurised. Because of the high pressure, the refrigerant becomes hot and, in turn, produces hot water. The hot water can be stored in a tank until it is needed or is circulated via emitters in the different rooms through underfloor heating, radiators or heat pump convectors. When combined with heat pump convectors or underfloor heating, heat pumps can act like air conditioners and also be used for cooling. The cycle is simply reversed, with the indoor units absorbing the heat and the outdoor unit releasing it.

A heat pump typically lasts between 15 and 20 years, although this is determined by a number of factors, for instance, maintenance. While heat pumps are a low-maintenance solution, their lifespan will be maximised with an annual check-up by your installer or service partner.

Yes, they can, but this depends on the type of emitters you have.

The ideal emitter for cooling is a heat pump convector (also known as a fan coil unit), which cleverly combines heating and cooling in one system.

A heat pump is ideal for homes of all shapes and sizes and installing a heat pump to warm and cool your home is a smart choice whether it's for a newly built home or a property renovation
