Some Features of Fujitsu Heat Pumps

A heat pump is not a ventilation system. These will bring fresh air into the building sometimes heating it on the way. When it warms the air it can only supply one dollar's worth of heat for every one dollar spent on power. Heat pumps actually only introduce heat and there is no heating element needed. For every dollar spent in heating you will actually introduce at least three dollars worth of heat into the area. In warmer weather heat pumps are able to run in reverse and become air conditioners pumping heat out. However, some models of Fujitsu Heat Pumps can also be fitted with ventilation connections. These are the ducted and cassette models.

Heat pumps will dehumidify in summer when humidity is particularly troublesome. In winter they do not actively dehumidify but keep the room temperature above the level at which condensation occurs. Condensation occurs when warm moist air cools and can be prevented by either removing the moist air or keeping the area warm. Of course, it is ideal to do both but it can be very costly to heat the fresh and cold air in winter so the most effective option is to just heat.

To heat the whole home generally requires two or more heat pumps. Heat pumps offer three times the heat of a comparable fan heater. Generally you can expect a heat pump to heat a single area. To heat the whole house you will need to install more heat pumps, a ducted system or a multi head heat pump system.

Not that long ago you would have required three phase power for the larger heat pumps. However, Fujitsu Heat Pumps now have a range of larger capacity units with single phase inverter technology which are able to heat much bigger areas.

Modern heat pumps are generally very quiet. Those Fujitsu Heat Pumps which have a quiet mode are practically inaudible once they have reached the target temperature. You should be able to pick a model that operates at a decibel level that you will be comfortable with by comparing the noise level as specified in the promotional material.

The heat pump you choose will need to be the correct size for the area you wish to heat and the range of temperatures that you will experience. If it is not the right size it will not work as efficiently as it should and will end up costing a lot more to run. If you do find that you are using more power than expected to run your heat pump you will either need to get more insulation or a bigger unit. The inverter heat pumps are designed to operate in a larger range of temperatures but there is a limit. Your Fujitsu Heat Pumps installers can come and measure the area to be heated and give you advice on the heat pump system that will work best in your situation. Ask your supplier for the EzeCalc report which is generated by Fujitsu software and this will ensure that the correct heat pump is chosen for your home.
