Installation Of An Air Source Heat Pump

Planning where to set up your air source heat pump(ASHP) is a very important consideration to make the most of it. No doubt, a professional installer can guide you better on this; but we’ve compiled a few things that you should be conscious of when looking to install an air source heat pump. 

 
Ground-level or suspended?

The ASHP unit must be installed on the floor next to the property. This is the ideal place because at first, it’s easier to reach for maintenance or servicing. Secondly, pipework must be kept to a minimum. Where it’s not feasible to fit the pump on the ground, it’s possible to put it in brackets on the wall. Just ensure it isn’t head-height & that you can get access whenever required. 


Don’t cover your air source heat pump:

ASHP units mayn’t be the most beautiful of sights, but covering it isn’t a great idea at all. We have noticed many ASHP encased in wooden structures, but according to the experts, it should be open. ASHP suck air through their back and sides, and thrust cold air back out the front, as soon as all the atmosphere heat has been pulled out. If there is something in front of it, this cold air can bounce off it & get sucked back in through the sides and back. An ASHP unit operating on cold air is not going to do much! The manual of your Air source heat pump will stipulate the least distance that should be kept clear in front of the unit. 
Do not install your air source heat pump indoor:

You cannot install an ASHP inside your home because it’ll effectively turn your room into a refrigerator. It’ll keep cooling the same area around it until it can no longer extort any heat. 

Be conscious of noise:

ASHP units have a reputation for being a little deafening. Although they are unusually not pretty loud, it’s wise to not put them right to the other side of your neighbor’s wall, to avoid any sort of conflict. You may also wish to avoid placing it close to your bedroom for a restful night’s sleep.

Heat Pumps in Nova Scotia – The Energy Efficient Heating Solution

Heat pumps are one of the significant examples that determine how far technology has come! Providing energy efficient heating using electricity is truly a tremendous technological advancement! What makes heat pumps in Nova Scotia a better choice to tackle with the cold weather is that these harvests are prevailing heat from the outdoor air and bring it inside without making use of fuels!  Limits of the Heat Pumps – Heat pumps extract heat from the air outside, hence their efficiency is directly proportional to the temperature outdoor which means when there is less heat in the air the heat pumps need to work a bit harder to extract the available heat. Top quality and highly efficient heat pumps can extract heat down to temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius and beyond that in some instances. Heat Pump Efficiency – Basically, two efficiency ratings are set by the heat pump industry. The first one is the Heating Season Performance Factor (HSPF) and the second one is t

How Do Arctic Series Cold Weather Heat Pumps Work?

Image
Arctic Series cold weather heat pumps are considered as one of the best heat pumps for cold climates. This factory controller system can manage two zones and unlimited zones along with the MX controller. The cold climate heat pump can be used for: ·   Space heating ·   Space heating and cooling ·   Cooling  When you set Heating and Cooling, the heat pump will control both a 3 way zone valve and circulation pump. The heat pump will use the tank temperature sensors and an air temperature sensor built into the controller to switch on and set its default to the priority zone. It can be set either buffer tank for heating or air temperature sensor for cooling until it reaches the set temperature.  For instance, if cooling is your main priority, the cold climate heat pump will cool down the room at the set temperature. After that, the 3-way valve will get diverted to buffer heating zone tank and the heat pump will then switch to heating applications to best fit t
