Hot Heat Pump Tips
Wanting to get the most out of your heat pump, but not quite sure how? Read on. Here are New Zealand Heat Pump's Hot Heat Pump Tips.
What is Ducted Heating?
Ducted Heating is the ultimate home heating solution, allowing you to set the optimum temperature throughout your entire home or just in certain rooms. Best of all, it's efficient and affordable.
How does it work?
The indoor heat pump unit or central heating and cooling unit is mounted and concealed in the roof cavity of your home. And because you can't see it, it doesn't detract from your home's decor.
Recent projects from New Zealand Heat Pumps
In many cases, installing a heat pump is not simply a straightforward job. The team from New Zealand Heat Pumps recently attended some of these "out of the ordinary" installations, where a little more planning and some creative thinking was required.
Installing a heat pump, the right way
Getting a professional to install your heat pump can make a difference to the lifespan of your heat pump. At New Zealand Heat Pumps we're often called out to fix problems that have occurred because of poor installation and shoddy workmanship.
Take a look at some of the sites we've recently attended where poor installation has already caused a few problems.
How to get the most out of your heat pump
If you've recently had a Heat Pump installed, you may be wondering how to use it to maximum efficiency.
Here is our guideline of Do's and Don'ts for getting the most out of your heat pump and saving on your heat pump costs.
Comparing heat pumps
Buying a heat pump for your home or office is a considerable investment, so it's important you get the right one.
To help you choose the best heat pump, New Zealand Heat Pumps, Auckland provide a face to face consultation with recommendations on the ideal option for your lifestyle and budget. We can help answer your questions, outline the benefits and features of each heat pump, and suggest a heating solution that works for you.
What does the ENERGY STAR® mark mean to me?
Most of us are concerned with the cost of our power. This is particularly true in winter when finding a balance between adequately heating your home and maintaining an affordable power bill becomes a little tricky.
While a heat pump is undoubtedly the most energy efficient heating option, costing you less in the long run, choosing the right heat pump for your home can mean the difference in dollars saved.
The ENERGY STAR® mark is awarded to the most efficient heat pumps in both heating and cooling modes, and you can use this energy rating label to compare heat pumps and find the most energy efficient model suitable for your home or office.
Is it time to clean your heat pump filter?
As with most appliances in the home, regular maintenance is the key to efficient use.
Because a heat pump is the ideal breeding ground for bacteria, mould, dust mites and harmful pollens, we advocate cleaning your heat pump filter at least every six months. So if you haven't cleaned it in a while, it's probably due for a clean.
A Multi System may be the answer
Because all homes are different, it's a good idea to look at a range of options when deciding on a heat pump.
In this house we were required to fit two heat pumps in order to heat two separate areas of the home. The obvious choice was a Fujitsu Inverter Multi System; the multi system allows a number of indoor units to be connected to just one outdoor unit.
