Do you have a place to put it?

It would help if you had a place where you could mount the unit on a wall outside your home or place it on the ground outside. There must be space around the wall or floor to allow for air circulation. There are two types of air-to-water heat pumps: packaged and split systems. Packaged systems have all components in a single outdoor unit. Packaged systems deliver water through pipes to the home's central heating system and the hot water tank. Split systems have separate components between indoor and outdoor units on the wall or the ground. Your budget and available space determine whether a packaged or split system is right for you. Packaged systems are cheaper, faster to install, and don't occupy home space, although they are usually slightly less efficient than split systems. The efficiency gains of a split system come from some heat transfer inside the house, so the house is warmer and has less heat loss. If your house is not constrained by space, installing a split system, while more expensive, may be worth it. Your installer is supposed to help you choose the best heat pump system.

How loud is a heat pump?

The heat pump's external unit is the same for both monoblock and split heat pumps. A large fan that moves air through the heat exchanger produces noise. Unless the heat pump is working intensely (such as in cold weather or producing high-temperature water), you can expect the noise to be similar to the volume of a refrigerator if you are standing a few feet away. You can easily have a normal conversation next to it without raising your voice. Since it's colder outside, this noise will increase when running, but it should still be easy enough for you to carry on a conversation with a little raised voice. The split system's indoor unit contains only the valve and pump and makes very little noise.

What is the lifespan of an air-to-water heat pump?

Air-to-water heat pumps have a long lifespan and can operate for up to 20 years with proper maintenance. In addition, most air-to-water heat pumps include a 5-year warranty. Thanks to some technological advances, modern heat pumps can operate effectively for up to 25 years before we replace them.

The difference between an air-to-water and air-to-air heat pump

Air-source heat pumps work by extracting heat from the outside air and using it to heat your home. They can accomplish this even in sub-zero temperatures so they can be used all year round. There are two types of air-source heat pumps, air-to-air and air-to-water heat pumps. Air-to-air heat pumps, often known as air conditioners, provide room heating by blowing warm air into your home. Air-to-water heat pumps provide hot water heating for radiators, underfloor heating and wet central heating systems. Each system has advantages and disadvantages but has a lot in common.

How efficient are air-to-water heat pumps?

Both air-to-air and air-to-water heat pumps require electricity but are still much more efficient than conventional heating systems. Using condensers, heat exchangers and refrigerants, we can use heat pumps to produce much more heat than electricity. A heat pump's coefficient of performance (COP) measures the heat pump's efficiency. In general, air-to-water heat pumps have a coefficient of performance of about three, producing three calories of heat for every kWh of electricity consumed. The COP varies with the outdoor temperature. Efficiency decreases when the weather is very chilly. However, air-source heat pumps perform well throughout the year and are popular in cold climates, including Scandinavia. To make the best use of a heat pump, you must have your house well insulated, and the unit size should be suitable for your property. If you install a heat pump properly, it will help reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint.

What Is an Air to Water Heat Pump？

——

Air-to-water heat pumps take energy from the outside air and deliver it to a water-based system for house heating, cooling or as a hot water supply for the home. Air-to-water heat pumps are rated as the market's most efficient air-source heat pumps.

This type of heat pump is most efficient in temperate climates. The optimal operating temperature for air-to-water heat pumps is 7°C. In contrast, in dry, cold areas where the outdoor temperature is below -20°C, the system's efficiency drops because lower temperatures can affect operating efficiency, given the operating principle of air-to-water heat pumps.

Is an Air to Water Heat Pump Right for Me?

Air-to-water Heat Pump Installation Price

The Energy Saving Trust (EST) calculates the cost of installing an air-to-water heat pump to be between £7,000 and £11,000.

Operating costs

The air-to-water heat pump can produce 3 kWh of heat per kWh of electricity. The average annual demand for most French families is 12,000 kWh.
12,000 kWh (heat demand) / 3 kW (heat output per unit of electricity) = 4,000 kWh of electricity
The price of electricity for 4000 kWh is 0.184 £ per unit, so heating cost is about 800 £ per year.

Air-to -water heat pump support

The National Agency for Housing Improvement (ANAL) offers support for house renovations that qualify for the energy transition.

For air-to-water heat pumps, one-time payments range from €2,100 to €4,200, depending on your family income.

Considerations before installing an air-to-water heat pump

There are three main factors to consider before installing an air-to-water heat pump.

Cost:

The cost of installing an air-to-water heat pump usually ranges from €8,000 to €15,000. Additional costs may be involved, depending on the type of system chosen (if you need both cooling and heating), the size of your property and your specific needs.

Insulation:

If you want a high savings return, the important thing is to have a well-insulated house, especially attic insulation. This way, the heat generated inside the house does not escape and stays warm during winter.

Installation procedures:

You must find the right procedures to ensure the heat pump is installed properly. You should do your due diligence, such as checking if the installer has the necessary certifications, has a good track record, and if you get a fair price.
What are the conditions for installing a heat pump?

Make sure the heat pump is away from the vents.

Make sure the heat pump is away from its neighbours (because of the noise).

Make sure that the heat pump has enough space.

Make sure that the distance between the outdoor and indoor units of the heat pump should not exceed 20 meters.
Can I install my air-to-water heat pump?

It is unlikely that you can fully install an air-to-water heat pump yourself. While it is possible for you to install an external unit, you will need a well-trained professional to connect it to the internal components and set up the whole heating system.
Can air-to-water heat pumps also use existing piping?

Yes! You can still use your air-to-water heat pump system with your home's existing central heating system.

In this case, you would have the same outdoor condenser, and your ductwork would be connected directly to the indoor air handler.

Air to Water Heat Pump Maintenance

——

Proper maintenance is the key to efficient operation of all heating and cooling systems. Heat pumps are no different. The difference in energy consumption between a well-maintained heat pump and a heavily disregarded heat pump is between 10% to 25%.

You can do something to maintain your heat pump to ensure efficient operation.

In summer or winter, when you need to use the heat pumps frequently, you had better clean or replace filters once a month or maintain the system according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The reduced airflow through the system is normally due to dirty filters, coils and fans. This reduction in airflow may decrease system performance and damage the system's compressor.

Clean the outdoor coil when it appears dirty; clean the fan occasionally by turning off the power, and remove vegetation and debris around the outdoor unit to allow enough air circulation. Clean the supply and return registers in your home and straighten their fins if they are bent.

What is the cost of maintaining a heat pump?

You can choose either a flat-rate contract or a one-time service. The average cost varies between €180 for a one-time visit and €250 for an annual contract. You can compare the quotes and choose the best that suits your situation.
What happens if you fail to clean your heat pump?

In most cases, your home's heat pump will continue to operate "normally" no matter how dirty it is inside. If it is not cleaned, the device's operation efficiency will be lower, and it may spread unwanted airborne particles throughout your home.
Can you clean your heat pump yourself?

Heat pumps work electrically, so you must clean them very carefully. If you are not a qualified electrician or HVAC specialist, SPRSUN does not recommend you clean the unit yourself. We recommend you get a professional cleaner or contact us for cleaning, help or advice.
How often should we repair an air-to-water heat pump?

For most heat pumps, homeowners only need an annual inspection. Besides, professional installers perform regular inspections every 3 to 5 years for efficient operation.

Split air-to-water heat pump

A split air-to-water heat pump consists of an outdoor fan unit and an indoor hydronic unit. While the outdoor fan unit draws ambient air from outside the house, the indoor unit heats the refrigerant and moves its heat to the water in the central heating system. It also acts as a thermostat and control panel.

Benefits of a Split System
1, More Outdoor Space
2, Flexible Installation

Drawbacks of a Split Type
1, Complex Installation
2, Less Indoor Space
