Air source heat pumps

An air-source heat pump uses up to 75% of the energy from the ambient air and only 25% of the energy from the power grid. If you also use photovoltaics and other systems in your home, such as mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (recuperation), the costs you incur from operating an air-source heat pump will be much lower.

Air-source heat pumps are energy-efficient devices. They guarantee low energy consumption while maintaining high operational efficiency. As mentioned, they primarily obtain thermal energy from the ambient air, although they do require additional electricity . It's worth noting that this energy consumption isn't constant—it increases as the outside temperature drops. Therefore, during the predominant periods of autumn, winter, and spring, when air temperatures don't drop much below 0°C , air-to-air or air-to-water heat pumps consume relatively little electricity. This means that even without additional installations like photovoltaics or heat recovery, owning an air-source heat pump remains cost-effective for users.

Moreover, the air-source heat pump ensures user comfort, thanks to the lack of any interference with the device's operation and the absence of harmful exhaust emissions. A clean environment in the immediate vicinity guarantees the health and well-being of its residents.

Air-source heat pumps are ideal for our latitudes. Air-source heat pumps designed for space heating include the Daikin Optimized Heating 4 series. The outdoor unit, or chiller, can operate down to -25 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for even the most demanding conditions. The chiller is designed to allow water to drain freely without the risk of freezing. This design eliminates the need for external heaters, which consume additional electricity.

For example, the Daikin Stylish and Daikin Perfera series air conditioners have excellent SCOP parameters - over 5.0, i.e. 1kW of power consumption gives 5kW of heat and an energy efficiency class of A+++. 1-phase electrical installation allows you to power the equipment even from the socket.

By choosing to heat your home in this way, you can reduce the bills several times compared to classic electric or oil heaters.

An air-source heat pump is also useful in the summer, as it can be used for other functions, such as cooling the home . Its exceptionally high energy efficiency makes this option even more attractive.

The built-in ONECTA application allows remote control of the device. The temperature maintenance mode is also useful - the unit maintains about 13 degrees Celsius, thanks to which the water in the system will not freeze. Thanks to this option, we can safely leave the house for a few days trip.

Air-source heat pumps are devices characterized by a relatively simple design. As a result, they ensure extremely low failure rates. Regular inspections and maintenance ensure long and trouble-free operation.

The devices are covered by a standard 3-year warranty. In the Clima Polska partner showroom, it is possible to obtain a free, 5-year warranty for Daikin Optimized Heating 4 devices.

When selecting an air-to-air heat pump , you must consider the size of the space it will heat. A wide range of efficiency— heating power from 800W to 7200W—guarantees adequate room heating with minimal energy consumption. To minimize heating costs , choose a unit with a high energy rating—A++ or A+++—this ensures low operating costs . It's also worth considering the device's additional features—selected air-to-air heat pumps are equipped with anti-smog, anti-virus, and antibacterial filters. These features ensure you can enjoy not only warmth but also air free from bacteria, allergens, and harmful dust.
