Why Choose Inverter Heat Pump OverA Fixed Output Unit

Installing a heat pump is a major decision that most homeowners need to consider carefully. When it comes to installing a heat pump, the main question that may come to your mind whether to install a heat pump with an inverter drive unit or a fixed output.

What’s the difference between a fixed output and inverter heat pump?

The difference between these two types of heat pumps lies in how they supply the energy required from the heat pump to fulfill the heating requirements of a property.

A fixed output heat pump functions by unceasingly either being turned on or tuned off. When turned on, a fixed output heat pump runs at 100 percent ability to fulfil your heating requirement. It’ll continue to do this until the heat demand is fulfilled.

However, an inverter heat pump employs an adjustable speed compressor which curbs its output by increasing or reducing its speed to match exactly the heat needs of the property as the outdoor air temperature changes.

When the heat demand is lower the heat pump will decrease its output, constraining the electricity use and strain forced on the components of the heat pump, limiting the start cycles.

What are the advantages of an inverter heat pump over a fixed output pump?

Far superior efficiency:

An inverter heat pump will uninterruptedly control its output in the background to offer constant temperature. It responses to fluctuations in heat requirement to ensure the temperature fluctuation is sustained to a minimum.

However, a fixed output unitwill incessantly cycle between maximum capacity and zero. Therefore, finding the correct balance to supply temperature require cycling more often.

Less wear & tear:

With a fixed output heat pump, cycling between on and off and operating at utmost capacity not just puts your heat pump system under strain but also hinder your electrical supply network.

On the other hand, an inverter heat pump uses DC compressors which have no real start spike in the time of a start cycle. The unit starts with a zero amp starting current and persists to build until it reaches the capacity required to fulfil the heating demand of the property. This puts less stress both on your heat pump & electrical supply while being smoother and easier to control than an on/off unit.

Save money & space:

Yet another appealing aspect of installing an inverter heat pump is you can save both money and space by eradicating the requirement to install a buffer tank.

With an inverter heat pump, the unit will be tuning itself to a lower output in the background and will identify the change in demand and regulate its output as per the low change in water temperature. This feature, then let homeowners to save both space and money needed to fit a large buffet tank.
