How to choose the right wall-mounted heat pump: cooling, heating, and energy savings

Wall-mounted air conditioners are designed solely for cooling, whereas wall-mounted heat pumps can both cool in the summer and heat during the winter. They can also be used as a complementary heating system, such as with electric baseboards.

When colder temperatures set in, the heat pump’s heating function activates. By combining a wall-mounted heat pump with electric baseboards, you can achieve significant energy savings.

Selecting a heat pump may seem complex, but understanding your needs will greatly simplify the process of choosing the right equipment.

Key factors to consider for year-round comfort:

1. Home or condo size

The size of your home is essential in determining the required heating and cooling capacity, ensuring optimal comfort throughout the year.

2. Windows

Windows play a crucial role: they can heat your home in summer due to solar radiation and cool it in winter due to heat loss. Oversized windows, which have become increasingly popular, are an important factor to consider.

Once you have assessed your home’s size and window layout, you can determine the appropriate power capacity for your new heat pump.

The type of installation depends on your situation:

• New construction offers more flexibility in choosing placement.
• Existing homes require adaptation to the property’s specific constraints.

3. Room layout

Carefully analyze the layout of your home. Houses with multiple closed rooms can create challenges for air circulation, leading to temperature variations between rooms.

• If your home’s configuration allows, a strategically placed wall-mounted heat pump can efficiently cool and heat multiple rooms throughout the seasons.
• For multi-level or compartmentalized homes, a multi-zone wall-mounted heat pump is a simple and effective solution that ensures even cooling and heating throughout the home—without the need for costly ductwork.
