Hi Wall Heat Pump Pros and Cons

Hi-Walls are the most popular type of heat pump in Christchurch, providing effective heating and cooling all year around and are not costly to run.

Mounting them high on the wall keeps them discreet, out of the way and family friendly.

Some heat pumps are will struggle in the depths of winter, but the Mitsubishi Hypercore Hi-Wall heat pump range has been designed with Christchurch’s conditions in mind. They will still be pumping hot air right down to minus 15 degrees!

Hi Wall heat pumps offer total control at the push of a button. Changing the temperature or switching between heating and cooling is easy, allowing you to stay comfortable however fast the weather changes.

If you have more than one heat pump in your home, you can set different rooms to different temperatures, to take care of those people who always feel the cold or overheat too quickly.

How Do Ducted Heat Pumps Work?

Heat pumps extract warm air from outside, run it through a compressor, and pump it inside. For a more in-depth explanation about how heat pumps work, click here.

Ducted systems work exactly the same as heat pumps, but on a much larger scale. A central heat pump unit installed in your ceiling space extracts air from outside, runs it through a compressor, and pumps the warm or cold through insulated ducts and out discreet vents in each room. The ducted vents can be fully customised to match the style and colour of each room.

With a ducted heat pump system, every room in your home is the same even temperature. No more sudden hot and cold spots around your house. Just like heat pumps, ducted systems are an energy efficient way to heat or cool your entire house at once.

Just to be clear, each room is not individually climate controlled. But does that really matter when everybody throughout your home gets to stay warm all winter? Where you decide to set the thermostat, to is up to you.
