What is a Heat Pump / Air Conditioner? How Do They Work?

Heat pumps / air conditioners can cool and heat your home depending on the selected mode of operation and prevailing weather conditions. There are numerous variations of heat pumps / air conditioners to suit both small and large spaces.

Depending on the chosen operating mode, your heat pump / air conditioner will either extract warm air from inside your home and replace it with cool, refrigerated air, or it will remove the cold air present in the room and deliver a controlled flow of warm air in its place. Many units use an outdoor unit to house the compressor, which pumps refrigerant over a series of coils which absorb or release heat depending on the desired temperature in your home.

Types of Heat Pumps / Air Conditioners

There are a number of different types of heat pumps / air conditioners available to suit rooms of different sizes, ceiling heights and insulation levels. The Fujitsu General range includes the following unit types:

• Wall Mounted: A wall mounted heat pump / air conditioner is a popular choice for heating and cooling single rooms, providing an even distribution of air throughout the room.

• Floor/Ceiling Consoles: Floor and ceiling console heat pumps / air conditioners can be used to control the temperature in a variety of different spaces. These units offer the flexibility of being easily installed on the floor or under the ceiling.

• Ducted: An increasingly effective and popular choice for individualised comfort throughout an entire home, ducted heat pumps / air conditioners offer the additional benefit of creating multiple ‘zones’ throughout your house to ensure each room is heated or cooled to the perfect temperature for its occupants.

• Multi Room Split System: Offering many of the benefits of a ducted unit, a split system, multi-room heat pump / air conditioner is a versatile solution that is perfect for older home designs which may have a lot of separate living spaces as opposed to a more open plan design.

• Cassette: Cassette heat pumps / air conditioners are another effective option for heating and cooling large spaces or common areas of your home, distributing air in up to four directions and are extremely discreet

How Is a Heat Pump Installed?

When you install a heat pump / air conditioner in your home with Fujitsu General’s installers, you can expect prompt and efficient service from start to finish. Your heat pump / air conditioner installation will take shape through the following steps:

• Technicians will assess your home to determine the best placement of units
  A technician will visit your property to carry out an inspection of the site, in order to recommend the optimal placement of both indoor and outdoor units. For indoor units, recommendations will balance the most effective placement for performance with a location that is visually appealing or symmetrical. Outdoor units will usually be placed away from overhanging trees, gardens and dusty areas. These recommendations may differ from those provided by the Fujitsu Assist Tool, depending on the shape and layout of your home.

• Units will be mounted in the designated areas
  Once you have decided on both an indoor and an outdoor unit for your home, the technician will return to carry out the heat pump / air conditioning installation. Your units will first be mounted using the appropriate brackets or other mounting systems, before any drilling or wiring takes place.

• Installers will organise and secure your unit’s wiring
  Depending on your chosen heat pump / air conditioning unit, cabling, ductwork and piping may all be important considerations. A qualified electrician will carry out the electrical work on your property, wiring your heat pump / air conditioning system to function effectively.

Choosing The Right Heat Pump / Air Conditioner: 3 Factors to Consider

When choosing the most suitable heat pump / air conditioner for your home, there are a number of potential factors or inclusions which could influence your decision:

• Local climate: Depending on where in New Zealand your home is located, the climate may influence which type of heat pump / air conditioner is most suitable for you. Warmer areas, for example, may need a more powerful heat pump / air conditioner to cool your home during the summer.

• Home size and layout: While the size of your home is an important determinant of how many units you require, its layout may prevent you from installing a certain type of heat pump / air conditioner. A Fujitsu installer can provide you with guidance on which unit is best for your requirements.

• Home insulation: If efficiency is an important concern for you, an insulated home greatly reduces the strain put on your unit in normal operation.
