Different Types of Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming the heating system of choice for Kiwis. Their unique ability to heat a whole house evenly while requiring little maintenance and keeping energy costs down make them an ideal choice for the New Zealand winter.

With so many different types of heat pumps on the market, it can be overwhelming trying to choose the best system for your home. Below, we explain the different types of heat pump, to help you make the best decision for your personal heating needs:

Split System

Most heat pumps function as a split system they use an outdoor unit to compress air, and a smaller indoor unit to circulate the air.

Split System heat pumps are designed to be discreet and quiet. The indoor unit can be mounted on any wall and only contains a small fan, making it a quiet and efficient way to heat or cool your space.

Hi-Wall Splits

Hi-Wall splits are the most popular type of heat pump in New Zealand. The internal unit of a hi-wall split is mounted high on a wall, in order to be as unobtrusive as possible. Slim and quiet, these units come with a remote control, reverse cycle, timer and dehumidifier functions.

Compact Cassettes

If you want something even more discreet, the compact cassette unit is mounted in the roof, so that only the grill can be seen in the room. The fan distributes warm or cool air throughout the room. Many compact cassettes include directional flaps to control the direction of air.

Floor Standing

While floor-standing heat pumps take up more room than wall-mounted units, they're also portable, so you can move the pump to different rooms of the house. They look a little like modern, lightweight gas heaters.

Ducted System

A ducted system works to heat your whole house (as opposed to just a couple of rooms). The compressor unit is placed either outside or in your roof space, and air (cool or warm) is distributed to the ceiling or wall units via insulated ducting. These systems had a large upfront cost to install, but can provide years of comfortable, energy-efficient heating.
