Heat pumps / Air-conditioning
The price varies and is dependent on factors such as what rooms require cooling / heating, the position of the indoor and outdoor unit, room and ceiling size as well as heat pump design (high-wall, floor console or ducted units). We can offer many options that can cater to your budget. This may include a combination of heat pump and ventilation systems. Using the most efficient form of heating / cooling and dehumidification will show savings in your power bill while providing a valuable upgrade to your home / business.
No we do not think your heat pump should be running 24 hours a day as you will find your power bill will increase! There is no need to have your heat pump on when no one is home. You should find that a few hours in the morning and night should suffice when people are home. Also, timer options on your remote can be great during the colder winter months to set your heat pump to come on before you wake up in the morning so that you wake up to a warm house.
All heat pumps will perform a defrost cycle eventually when operating in cold winter conditions. The defrost mode removes ice build up from the outdoor unit. In defrost mode the heat pump stops heating for short periods. Some heat pump brands spend longer in defrost than others.
Our experienced technicians can advise what size you require based on your room size, ceiling height and how many rooms you require the heat pump for.
If your heat pump / air-conditioner is in a commercial premises, we recommend bi-annual maintenances. For domestic use, we recommend annual maintenances.
Refrigeration
Yes we do.
Yes, we can design something specific to your needs, requirements and budget.
Ventilation
Ventilation is the process of removing stale/moist air and replacing it with fresh/clean air. The process also helps to reduce condensation build up created from cooking & cleaning as well as general day to day living.
There are two main types of ventilation systems that are used. Positive pressure ventilation systems remove filtered air from your ceiling space into your home via ceiling vents. Balanced pressure ventilation systems use two fans, one to bring in fresh outdoor air and the other to remove the same amount of air from inside your home to outside through a heat exchange system.
No home can be completely rid of condensation as the all homes require a certain amount of moisture for it to be a healthy home. You will find a significant reduction in condensation with a well ventilated house.
