There are heat pumps and there are heat pumps. You want a heat pump that's going to keep you warm in winter, plus cool over summer. With so many makes and models of heat pumps available, and so many features to choose from, here's how you can find the best heat pump for you and your family.
How big is the space to heat and cool?
Here's where an accredited heat pump installer can help. Getting the right size heat pump is so important. If the heat pump is too small, the room will never feel warm enough. If it's too big, you might have over-capitalised on what you need to do the job.
Now, when we talk about the 'size' of the heat pump, we don't mean the physical size. We mean the heat pump's heating and cooling capacity. This is measured in kiloWatts or kW for short. The more kW a heat pump has, the greater capacity it has for heating and cooling.
For example, a small bedroom may only need a Mitsubishi Electric GL25 which is 3.2kW. A large, open plan kitchen and dining area might need a Mitsubishi Electric GL60 which is 6.8kW.

How will my heat pump fit with the room?
Are appearances everything? The Mitsubishi Designer Series offers a range of colours to choose from. You’re not limited to a classic white heat pump, but can also choose from glossy black or matte silver. Whichever you think will suit the room best.
Heat pumps can also be used to cover up renovations. Did you used to have a wall mounted or heater inset into the wall? A floor console heat pump can be used to cover up the space left by your old heater, while offering modern and energy efficient heating.

How do you use your home?
Your lifestyle is important to choosing the right heat pump.
If you spend most of your day at work, and there is no one else at home, then a single heat pump to heat the living areas in the early mornings and evenings will do the job. We can recommend a heat pump with Wi-Fi connectivity, and a seven-day timer so you can set and forget the times you want your heat pump to turn on and off.
Are there people home most of the day? Do you have children going to sleep in different rooms? If you’re looking for options to heat your entire home, Heat Pumps NOW can help with that too. We can design a central heating ducted system to deliver a constant temperature around your whole house. Hidden from view, you can enjoy energy efficient heating and cooling into every room of your house without interfering with your home’s style.
