Q How to Install Heat Pump?
A Installation of heat pumps will vary depending on whether they are installed outdoors or indoors. Also, if you are installing a ductless system, the location should be unobstructed. For indoor installation, you will need a mounting plate, a driller, and screws. If your system is ducted, make sure you have access to the interior ductwork. If it is inaccessible, you will have to install new ones.
The second step is to create an access point on the wall of the basement or attic to link the indoor unit and the outdoor condenser.
Drilling through the piping lines should get the job done. This should allow passage for refrigerant, electrical, and condensate drain lines. The refrigerant and condensate lines are then connected to the indoor unit. The lines installed will allow the latter to circulate in the outdoor and the indoor condenser.
The next step should involve you connecting the wiring to an electricity supply. All the lines installed should be insulated and a drain installed on the outside for condensation.
Lastly, you have to install temperature sensors, which help in adjusting heat requirements. To make monitoring easy, your heat pump might also feature remote heat sensors that can be accessed through phones or tablets.

Q Which Capacity Heat Pump Need?
A For every one sq ft, you will need a 30 BTU unit. You will need an HVAC expert to determine the right size you need. All experts calculate the needed size and refer the BTU units to the HVAC sizing book.
Still, there are other determinants in play, such as the heating appliances in your home, the local climate, and how the home is insulated. A poorly insulated home will need more heat, and hence a larger heating unit. Also, colder regions will need larger units to suit the need for higher heating.
However, you can do the calculations yourself. Assuming you have a 2,500 sq ft home in need of a heat pump.
For instance, to tell the BTU you need, you can use the 30BTU per sq ft to estimate what will be needed by 2500sq ft. let's say, if 1sq ft calls for 30BTU, then what will 2,500 sq ft need. The multiplication should give you 75,000 BTUs. When converted to tons based on the g heat pump sizing chart, it gives you 6.25 tons of heat. In short, a 75,000BTUs will be needed for a 25000sq ft property. And the larger the home, the larger the unit needed.

Q What is Heat Pump?
A Heat pumps are HVAC devices that integrate heating, ventilation, and air conditioning capabilities. They distribute heat energy absorbed from the air, ground, or water bodies to colder regions when it's cold, and the reverse applies when temperatures spike.
They move heat in the opposite direction, irrespective of thermodynamic laws, as they absorb heat in cold regions and release it to warmer spaces. The heat pump's sole function is to heat the radiators, underfloor heating system, and heat convectors.
Still, they come in handy when heating water in your pool or tanks. Nearly all heat pumps have climate control functionality and can switch from cooling to heating depending on temperature changes. It functions as a conventional air conditioner, but it can work in reverse mode.
They can be installed outdoors on your home's wall or in the attic or basement. You have probably seen box-like equipment outside some buildings. Heat pumps use less electricity to run as the heat distributed is absorbed from the surroundings.
Also, they do not run-on fossil fuels that leave a carbon footprint on the environment. In terms of effectiveness, heat pumps are installed based on the size of the property. Smaller heat pumps will do just fine in small-sized properties.

Q What is Inverter Swimming Pool Heat Pump?
A An inverter pool heat pump is a cost, and energy efficient way to ensure your pool is at swimming temperature throughout the warmer seasons. The technology in inverter pool heat pumps ensures your swimming pool water temperature is consistently maintained at what you set it to.
Through the process of drawing warm air from the atmosphere and then transferring that heat into your outdoor swimming pool, inverter pool heat pumps can provide a consistent water temperature. Because they can draw heat from the atmosphere in all conditions, this makes them more consistent than solar pool heating systems.
For convenience and consistency, the inverter swimming pool heat pump allows you to set a desired water temperature and this will be attained automatically by the pool heat pump. Inverter technology allows set temperatures to be reached and maintained more precisely and efficiently than other heating systems. In some inverter pool heat pumps, full control is available from your device, with a wi-fi control feature.
The inverter pool heat pump technology also allows you to modulate the speed of the compressor. This function ensures efficiency is maximised and costs are reduced due to lower energy consumption.
The variable speed compressor feature functions by only drawing the power it requires based on the set pool temperature. The capacity of the inverter pool heat pump to self-modulate is the reason these systems provide consistent water temperature which gives you peace of mind that your swimming pool will be ready to swim in throughout the season.

Q What is the efficiency of Heat Pump?
A Heaters running on electricity and toasters are one hundred percent efficient, meaning they produce as much heat as they absorb. Heat pumps, however, have efficiencies of up to 300 %. They do not generate heat. Instead, they absorb them from the outdoor air or ground and distribute them to colder regions indoors.
Heat pumps, therefore, use less electricity, yet they produce heat effectively. For instance, a ground source heat pump can consume 1kw electricity and deliver about 4kw of heat. Since heat energy is freely available, they are more efficient than other heating units. Using them means you get to reduce heating bills by almost two-thirds.
Further heat pump efficiencies are dependent on the price of fossil fuels vs. that of electricity. The cost of fossil fuel is high and comes with the hazards of hydrocarbons. Again, if you are using pool heat pumps, you have an additional advantage. When your house is cooling, your pool gets heat in return.
It saves energy that is used for heating the pool independently, hence reducing energy bills. Again, you won't install a heat pump in a house that's not well insulated. Insulation means less heat exchange between the exterior and interior air, which minimizes any chances of heat wastage.

Q How does Heat Pumps Work?
A A heat pump while operating functions as an air conditioner. With that said, warm air within your house flows in the conditioning system components. Heat is then drawn from the air by a refrigerant in the cooling coil. The refrigerant containing warm air is then compressed repeatedly to create more pressure. It flows into the condenser coil from the compression chamber, where it releases heat in the outdoor air.
However, this is how an air conditioner works. A heat pump will also work in the same manner when in cooling mode. But what states the difference is that it can work in a reverse manner where the above process is inverted to provide heat internally. If it's a geothermal heat pump, it will suck in water from a source, and the refrigerant will absorb the heat in the same manner.
Again, a heat pump will absorb heat in cold air or cold water, pressurize it to increase heat intensity, and then pump into colder spaces. So regardless of the weather patterns, a high-quality heat pump can run even in below zero temperatures. Heat pumps that use ground also leverage the constant temperatures of the ground surface when absorbing heat, and they also use the ground as a sink.

Q What is the advantage of inverter heat pump?
A An inverter heat pump, however, uses a variable speed compressor which modulates its output increasing or decreasing its speed to match exactly the heat demand requirements of the building as the outdoor air temperature changes.
Heat pump inverters reduce the amount of cycling to deliver a more comfortable, consistent temperature and to eliminate drafts. By minimizing the amount of energy lost during through cycling, they also improve energy efficiency in the home and reduce consumption (and the related cost) of energy. This not only allows you to keep your heating and cooling expenses under control, it is also favorable to the environment by reducing pollutants and emissions of greenhouse gases.Another significant benefit related to energy efficiency is that, oftentimes, using an inverter will qualify for tax credits and both state and federal levels. Be sure that the unit you are interested in purchasing qualifies for these tax incentives. Be aware, also, that just because a unit is Energy Star-certified that does not mean that it automatically meets the requirements for tax credits. Do your research and make an informed purchase.

Q What are the benefits of R32 Heat Pumps?
A F-Gas Regulations compliant
Renewable heating products, such as air source heat pumps, are growing in popularity and, over the coming months and years, demand for renewable technologies will further increase as the Government brings about measures to deliver its Clean Growth Strategy to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Manufacturers are therefore striving to develop their products, incorporating design changes to improve efficiencies and make their renewable heating products as green as possible. This is one of the reasons why R32 refrigerant is being used in more and more air source heat pumps
Green credentials
Remaining on the subject of GWP, R32 refrigerant has a GWP of 675 which is 70% lower than the GWP value of R410a refrigerant. It has a less harmful effect on the atmosphere with lower carbon emissions and, furthermore, R32 refrigerant has zero ozone depleting potential as well. R32 refrigerant is therefore more environmentally friendly and it helps increase the sustainability of the products it is used within.
High efficiencies & lower energy costs
A key benefit that R32 refrigerant can deliver is greatly improved efficiencies. Its ability to enable a heat pump to recharge and recycle more effectively than some other refrigerants means that the heat pump can run at much higher efficiencies. A more efficient heat pump is greener in operation, uses less energy and can help households reduce their energy bills.

Q What is Evi Heat Pump?
A EVI stands for “Enhanced Vapor Injection” and is a technology used on our cold climate heat pumps to achieve higher performance at lower temperatures. An EVI heat pump uses a 3rd smaller internal plate heat exchanger called an “Economizer” within the refrigeration cycle. By utilizing a bypass valve some of the hot refrigerant vapor on the condenser is bypassed to a HX which combines with the colder gas on the Evaporator expansion side. The heat energy is transferred raising the gas temperature even further which is then injected at mid-range pressure into the head of the scroll compressor through a separate vapor injection port. Using EVI heat pump technology, we can overcome the limitation of maximum flow temperature that other cold climate heat exchangers encounter. EVI Heat Pump technology allows more heat to be delivered resulting in a better COP at much lower temperatures. The EVI technology increase performance efficiency by 27-30%.

Q What is Inverter Heat Pump?
A Inverter driven heat pumps are a newer generation of heat pumps. They are variable speed which allows the fan and compressor to run at different speeds according to the demand from the pool.On/Off heat pumps can only run at 100% or turn off. They are not variable speed.
The advantage of inverter heat pumps over on/off models is:
More efficient = lower running costs: When inverter heat pumps run at reduced speed their efficiency (COP) rises drastically. Inverter driven heat pumps can have efficiencies (COPs) of up to 14.This means that for every 1kw of power used, they can return up to 14kw of heat to the pool. The maximum COP for on/off heat pumps is around 5 to 6
They are generally much quieter as they do not need to always run at 100%. Once the pool reaches the desired temperature, the inverter driven heat pump can slow itself down and run at a reduced speed eg 30%. When running at a reduced speed, the noise is significantly reduced.
Built in “soft-start”. When inverter heat pumps start, they gradually increase their speed from zero up to the required running speed. This gentle start up avoids the power “spike” that can be encountered with on-off type heat pumps.This “soft-start” feature of inverter driven heat pumps prevents issues such as the house lights flickering when the heat pump starts or electrical breakers tripping on the consumer unit.
