Experience Consistent Heating & Cooling with Heat Pump Service in Christchurch

Posted by Chillwell on November 8th, 2019

Heat pumps are an energy-efficient alternative to traditional air conditioners and furnaces. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, and are perfect for Christchurch climate.

Heat pumps are capable of both heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. Of course, one of the benefits of a heat pump is that you just need to buy and install one system as opposed to two. You just need to maintain or repair one system, as well. This is one of the several factors that make Heat Pump Service in Christchurch extremely popular.

Heat pumps are systems that move or pump heat from one point to another by using a compressor and circulating a structure of liquid or gas refrigerant. Through this, the heat is extracted from external sources and then pumped indoors. Pumping the heat tends to use a lot less electrical energy than the normal techniques of turning electricity into heat. Furthermore, during the summer months, the cycle can be reversed, and the unit will act as an air conditioner instead, making it multi-functional.

With heat pumps, you will worry less about uneven heating and cooling, which is an issue sometimes experienced with traditional HVAC systems. The heat pump utilizes the same basic physics and mechanism to cool and heat your home. That implies that it’s just as good at one as it is at the others.

Heat pumps are really the most efficient alternative to fuel, oil, and electrical systems, when it comes to the process of heating and cooling. Heat pumps use less energy than normal air conditioners and furnaces. This is because they are essentially moving air from one place to another instead of burning energy to warm or cool it.

You would be surprised at just how energy-efficient heat pumps can be. Of course, over the course of an entire year, those savings can truly add up. Due to being highly energy-efficient, heat pumps can significantly minimise your monthly electricity bills. Unlike with a traditional furnace or air conditioner which can only save you money during the months its not in use—an energy-efficient heat pump runs all year, and will save you money all year.

The most important thing to remember when it comes to installing a heat pump is to ensure that it is done correctly. The heat pump installer should also stay to explain how it works to you, as well as the perfect settings for your home.

When a heat pump is professionally installed it needs very little maintenance and be expected to last for at least 20-30 years. The system will probably need an annual check which can be carried out by a certified engineer. If something does go wrong with your heat pump system, it can lose efficiency, but this low performance will undoubtedly be very noticeable.

Heat Pump Service in Christchurch includes inspection of filters, ducts, blowers, sealing of duct leakage (if ductwork is present), repair of any refrigerant leaks, an inspection of electric terminals, and much more.
