High Wall Heat Pump
Powerful Performance in a Compact Design
High Wall Heat Pumps
High wall heat pumps are among the best alternatives chosen by people in New Zealand be it for personal or commercial space. It also seems to be the best option for residential houses and small shops. These devices are fixed on the wall at a height, and they are usually found in living rooms, bedrooms, or offices. These can be used to heat the room in winter and to cool it in summer. They are divided into two components, the outdoor compressor unit and the indoor unit (high wall unit). The indoor unit which does the major work pulls the cooler air from outside or circulates the warm air throughout the room to balance the room temperature.
Advantages of High Wall Heat Pumps
1. Energy Efficiency
Utilization of Economical and Green Energy for Heating and Cooling: The high energy efficiency of high wall heat pumps appeals much to people today in heating as well as cooling their spaces and houses. These heat pumps are capable of producing 3 to 4 times more heat energy than the electrical energy they consume, thus they can be operated at a low cost compared to other electric heaters.
Energy Savings: In particular, towns in New Zealand that have nice weather (the North Island during the spring and summer) offer very good energy savings in winter and summer.
3. Easy Installation
Through the wall, the mini-split ACs are installed with an external compressor heat pump and a fan or evaporator unit inside each room. Installing high wall heat pumps is simpler than ducted systems. The reason is that they do not require major modifications to home structures, they are especially suitable for the modernization of existing homes or buildings.
Space Requirements: These units are installed high on the wall, so no floor space is compromised, making them particularly suitable for smaller homes or rooms where space is a premium.
5. Improved Indoor Air Quality
Air Filtration: Most high wall heat pumps come with built-in air filters that trap dust, allergens, and other airborne particles, improving indoor air quality. It’s important to check the specific model, as filter types and maintenance requirements can vary. Regularly cleaning or replacing the filters is essential to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
Moisture Control: In cooling mode, high wall heat pumps also help to reduce humidity levels, preventing the buildup of moisture and mold in the home.
7. Smart Controls and Features
Remote Control: Most units come with remote controls that allow users to adjust temperature settings, fan speeds, and timers from anywhere in the room.
Smart Technology: Many modern heat pumps offer smartphone app control and integration with home automation systems. This allows users to adjust settings, set schedules, and monitor energy usage remotely. Features may vary by brand and model, so it’s a good idea to check compatibility with your home automation platform if you have one.
2. Year-Round Comfort
Adaptability: They are very versatile as they can offer heating in winter and cooling in summer, the wall-mounted mini-split systems are the best solution for air conditioning all year round.
Accurate Climate Control: It offers a smooth home temperature through a thermostat or remote, allowing families to enjoy the environment they desire, no matter how cold, freezing, or hot it may be outside.
4. Low Noise Levels
Quiet Operation: Fashionable wall heat pumps currently designed are probably the quietest version of them all with the new inverter technology. The indoor unit is very quiet as most of the noise is usually around 20-30 decibels, making these heat pumps suitable for installation in bathrooms and living areas without any disturbance to the owner.
Outdoor Unit: Despite the outdoor unit being somewhat noisy it only remains a possibility, the recent technological advancements in the field nevertheless reduced the high level of noise and waves greatly, so it now causes a smaller amount of noise and therefore the image is less disturbed to neighbours.
6. Quick and Effective Heating
Fast Heat Distribution: High wall heat pumps can quickly heat or cool a room compared to traditional heating systems. This is especially useful in homes, where insulation levels may not always be optimal, and fast heating is necessary during cold snaps.
Even Distribution: As they are installed high on the wall, these units provide good air circulation, distributing heat or cool air evenly throughout the room.
High wall heat pumps are an excellent choice for many households due to their energy efficiency, year-round comfort and ease of installation. They offer fast heating and cooling, improve indoor air quality, and are ideal for zoned heating, making them particularly suitable for small to medium-sized homes or individual rooms.
In cases where aesthetics or coverage for large spaces are concerns, other heating solutions like ducted heat pumps or multi-split systems may be worth exploring.
In general, high wall heat pumps are a smart and cost-effective solution for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment, particularly in moderate climates. Connect with Chillmount to install heat pumps whether it is your residence or commercial space!
