Heat Pumps - A three in one machine!

Coping with 4 Seasons in 1 Day in Christchurch

This Christchurch summer has definitely had some ups and downs. Who remembers the record 36 degree day back in December? Then in mid-January the skies open and it rains for a week solid! Heat Pumps NOW believes the most kiwi song ever written is Crowded House’s “Four Seasons in One Day” as it totally describes the unpredictable weather in Christchurch.

​What do you do on those summer days in Christchurch when it’s hot and raining? What about when it’s really dry and windy? Or on those muggy nights we get every once in a while when it’s too hot and sticky to get a proper night’s sleep?

​One option would be to buy a dehumidifier, an air conditioner, and an air purifier. When Christchurch is hot and humid, turn on the air conditioner and the dehumidifier. Emptying the dehumidifier bucket every now and again can get annoying though. When it’s dry and windy, crank the air conditioning and the air purifier, and hope that the all the pollen, dust and dirt has been filtered out of the air coming inside. Good luck trying to sleep at night with a dehumidifier and an air conditioner rumbling away in the background. As if it wasn’t hard enough when it’s that hot. 

What do an air conditioner, dehumidifier, and air purifier have in common? A heat pump can do the work of all three!

But as all Cantabrians know, Christchurch can flip and the heat will be replaced by temperatures in the low teens. What then? Will you lug out a heater and try and move everything else to the side? Never mind all of the space these appliances are taking up. Even the largest room will start to feel a little cramped and cluttered.

Homer Simpson has some masterful quotes. In one episode Lisa tells her dad “I’m going to become a vegetarian” 

​To which Homer replies, “But what about bacon?”
“No”
“Ham?”
 “No!”
“Pork chops?”
“Dad those all come from the same animal”
“Yeah right Lisa,” laughs Homer sarcastically. “A wonderful, magical animal!”
What if we told you there’s “a wonderful, magical” machine that will keep you cool and dry with clean filtered air on those sweltering summer days. And when the temperature drops without warning you’ve got warmth at the touch of a button. 

You’ve probably guessed we’re talking about heat pumps.

Heat pumps are an air conditioner, ventilation unit, dehumidifier, and heater all rolled into one. There’s no dehumidifier bucket to empty, as the heat pump pipes the moisture outside for you. Don’t worry if the Canterbury Nor-Wester is blowing a gale, your heat pump will keep you cool and breathing easy by filtering the pollen, dirt and dust from the air you breathe. Best of all, heat pumps are very quiet and will let you get a good night’s rest on hot, muggy nights.

Instead of three or four machines clogging up your living room or bedroom, a heat pump will sit discreetly on your wall. Heat Pumps NOW can install one out of the way high on your wall, or we can put in a floor unit if you like toasty feet in winter. Heat pumps come in a variety of colours and styles, so we can even find one to match your décor.
