Multi-Split Heat Pumps
One System, Many Zones
Multi-Split Heat Pumps
Many of the benefits of having separate heat pumps in each room are available with a multi-split heat pump system, but they are all powered by a single outdoor unit instead. This gives the outside of your property a nicer appearance. However, because each indoor unit is connected to one outdoor unit, each room must maintain a comfortable temperature.
Flexible Heating and Cooling for Any Space
Multi-Split Heat Pumps
A multi-split heat pump is a type of heat pump system designed to heat and cool multiple rooms or zones using a single outdoor unit connected to multiple indoor units.
In New Zealand, multi-split systems are commonly used in both residential and commercial buildings where multiple areas need climate control, but there is limited outdoor space for multiple outdoor units. These systems provide flexibility, efficiency and space-saving solutions.
Advantages of Multi-Split Heat Pumps
1. Independent Temperature Regulation for Several Rooms
Custom Climate Settings: The main advantage of multi-split systems is that each indoor unit can be set to a different temperature. For example, bedrooms can be switched on while the living room is cooled, providing individual comfort in different areas of the home or business.
Zoning Flexibility: Multi-zone heat pumps allow zoning, meaning you can heat or cool certain rooms or areas without affecting the entire building. This feature improves energy efficiency by allowing you to control only active areas.
3. Cost-Effective Heating and Cooling
Lower Initial Costs Compared to Multiple Systems: Although the installation cost for a multi-split system is higher than a standard single-split system, it is often more cost-effective than installing multiple heat pumps with separate outdoor units. The single outdoor unit reduces equipment costs and the complexity of installation.
Energy Efficiency: Multi-split systems are designed to be highly energy-efficient, especially when using inverter technology. Most newer models with Wi-Fi connectivity allow you to adjust the temperature, set schedules, and monitor performance remotely via a dedicated app. This feature enhances convenience and energy management, letting you control your home’s climate from anywhere. Just ensure that your heat pump is compatible with the app and has the necessary smart features.
5. Year-Round Climate Control
Dual Heating and Cooling Functionality: Like other heat pump systems, multi-splits can provide both heating in winter and cooling in summer. This makes them an ideal solution for New Zealand’s climate, where temperature extremes can vary significantly between seasons.
Consistent Comfort: Multi-split systems maintain a consistent and comfortable temperature in all rooms, making them suitable for homes with different needs in various zones or for businesses with separate offices or workspaces.
2. Space-Saving Outdoor Design
One Outdoor Unit: One of the main advantages of a multi-split system is the ability to connect multiple indoor units to one outdoor unit. This is especially beneficial in homes or commercial buildings with limited outdoor space. Instead of multiple outdoor units full of courtyards, balconies or rooftops, you only need one.
Ideal for Apartments and Compact Spaces: For apartments with limited outdoor space, multi-split systems provide the convenience of heating and cooling multiple rooms without the need for additional outdoor space for more than one compressor unit.
4. Flexibility in Indoor Unit Types
Variety of Indoor Units: Multi-split systems offer flexibility in the type of indoor units that can be installed in different rooms. For example, one room could have a high wall-mounted unit and another could have a ducted system. This allows for design versatility and greater customization based on the layout and function of the rooms.
Aesthetic Customization: Homeowners and businesses can choose indoor units that fit their interior design preferences. Some rooms may benefit from more discreet ceiling-mounted or ducted systems, while others may require high wall units.
6. Quiet Operation
Low Noise Levels: Both the outdoor and indoor units of a multi-split system are designed to operate quietly, making them suitable for residential areas, office environments, or any setting where noise is a concern.
