Daikin heat pump manual – everything you need to know

Heat pumps have quickly become the best solution for heating, cooling and domestic hot water for every type of home. Their flexibility, efficiency, quick return on investment and low environmental impact are just some of the reasons why old wood, pellet or electricity heating solutions should be replaced by heat pumps that would ideally be powered by electricity from renewable sources.

With the increased proactivity of central and local government and the creation of strategies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and the application of long-term sustainable solutions, heat pumps are emerging as an obvious long-term and sustainable solution.

The working principle of heat pumps is relatively complex, and to help you decide which option is best for you, we will answer some important questions about heat pumps.

What is a heat pump?

The name of this system is quite descriptive. In essence, it is a heat pump that transfers heat from one medium to another. You may know that your refrigerator works on the same principle of a heat pump, which "pumps" the heat from the internal chambers to the outside space, thereby reducing the heat inside.

With the help of inverter technology, this process of transferring heat from one space to another ("pumping") can be reversible, so heat pumps can be used for heating and cooling.

How do heat pumps work?

Most often, heat pumps consist of an outdoor and an indoor unit. The outdoor unit uses the thermal energy from the external medium (air, water or earth) and pumps it to the indoor unit, which then transfers it to the heating elements in the home that are connected to the system (radiators, fan coils, floor heating or boiler).

That's right, this system can be connected to an existing installation with radiators or underfloor heating, making the decision to switch from an electric or pellet boiler to a heat pump system easier.

What types of heat pumps are there?

There are several types of heat pumps according to the medium from which they take it and to which they transfer the heat energy.

For example, the inverter air conditioner actually is air-to-air heat pump, who it draws heat from the outside air and transfers it to the air in the interior rooms. In the event that heat is transferred to water circulating through radiators or underfloor heating, then it represents air-water heat pump.

Depending on the facility and individual needs, several types of heat pumps may be the optimal solution. However, there are a few general cases, namely:

For a new, energy-efficient building or to replace an electric boiler, are commonly used air-water heat pumps, connected to underfloor heating and fancoilers, resulting in energy-efficient heating and cooling and maximum comfort.

For smaller apartments, the simplest solution for heating and cooling air-to-air heat pumps (air conditioners).

For objects that have natural gas connection, exist hybrid heat pumps which use a combination of energy from the outside air, electricity and gas depending on weather conditions and the price of electricity. Energy and gas, so you get maximum savings.

Do heat pumps harm the environment?

Heat pumps are primarily powered by a renewable energy source. For every kilowatt of electricity consumed, you get 3-4 kilowatts of heat energy. This makes heat pumps far more efficient than any other heating and cooling system.

Ideally, if the electricity to power the heat pump is obtained from photovoltaic panels, then 100% of the energy for heating and cooling is obtained from renewable sources. This makes heat pumps the most economical and environmentally friendly solution for heating and cooling your home.

Are heat pumps a smart investment?

The short answer is – yes, regardless of the higher initial investment compared to other fossil fuel systems. There is no doubt that the decision for a new heating system is a big one, but in the long run such an investment will provide you with lower bills and greater comfort.
