Energy Efficient
Heat pumps are the more economical solution
than a conventional heating system because of the four times
higher efficiency rate. You can compare energy efficiency
by checking the co-efficient of performance (COP) rating that
compares the heat energy output by the unit compared to the
electrical energy used. Inverter technology offers even more
energy saving my matching compressor speed output to your
indoor heating or cooling load conditions. Energy savings
of up to 27% are possible over fixed sped units and inverter
models have the capacity for quicker achievement of design
controlled environment conditions under adverse outdoor conditions.
Quiet
Ideally both indoor and outdoor fan noise
should be minimal for the comfort of the occupants and neighbours.
The speed control of modern inverter units combined with advanced
blade design significantly reduces noise levels when it matters
most – at night.
Sub Zero Performance
Not all heat pumps are designed to continue
working when temperatures fall below the freezing point. Modern
units such as the Mitsubishi Electric Comfortmaster range
has a guaranteed performance down to -10°C to endure adequate
heating performance on cold nights and mornings when you need
it most.

Humidity Regulation
Dampness and mould can ruin furniture, drapes,
carpet and chattels and can cause unpleasant odours. Some
of the latest heat pumps feature a DRY cycle function in the
cooling mode which collects moisture and removes via an attached
condensate drain.
Air Purification
Installing a heat pump can benefit those
that suffer from asthma, hay fever and other allergies. Most
new models feature an air cleaning filter along with a deodorising
filter that helps reduce the allergens in the air inside.
Practically Maintenance Free – just
filter cleaning
When typical filters become clogged with
debris, they cut down on a heat pump's efficiency and, over
time, can cause parts to wear out faster. To maintain efficiency
simply change or clean filters quarterly or sooner if they
look dirty. Cleaning filters is especially easy in floor mounted
console units, but can be a little more difficult in high
wall units. Refer to your owner’s manual for how to
quickly and easily change your filter. |
