Selecting the Right Size Heat Pump

Choosing the appropriate heat pump size is crucial to ensure optimal comfort, especially in colder weather conditions. Various factors, such as room location, size, and insulation, influence the choice of heat pump size.

Insulation and the orientation of your building are significant factors affecting heat loss in your home. Older homes with inadequate insulation lose heat more rapidly than well-insulated, modern homes with good orientation. The faster your home loses heat, the larger your heat pump system needs to be to compensate for this heat loss.

Winter’s outdoor ambient conditions also play a significant role in determining the size of the heat pump needed. As temperatures drop, the heat pump’s output capacity decreases. Areas in New Zealand, such as Wanaka, and Cromwell, which experience sub-zero temperatures in winter, will require either a larger capacity heat pump or an upgrade to a efficient unit like the Mitsubishi Electric HyperCore® Heat Pump compared to a similarly sized room in a warmer region. It is crucial to avoid undersizing units in low ambient conditions.
