With the summer season slowly settling in over the next few weeks comes warmth and good weather. While it’s nice to enjoy the warm rays of the sun outdoors, summer days can quickly have the effect of heating up the inside of our homes. This makes it difficult to stay comfortable and get a good night’s sleep. To avoid the discomforts caused by the heat, it’s best to plan ahead and install an air-conditioning system or heat pump. To help you make an informed choice and select the right product, Daikin offers you this handy guide to creating the ideal environment for making the most of the warm weather!
The difference between a heat pump and an air conditioner
Although both serve the purpose of cooling ambient air, heat pumps and air conditioners (also known as air conditioning) have several notable differences. And even though both devices can cool you during the summer, it’s important to understand their differences to select the one that best suits your needs.
Opting for the Heat Pump
The heat pump is a system that can be used throughout the year. Because it is equipped with a reversible valve, it captures the cold or hot from the air and ground, depending on the season, to bring it to the right temperature and diffuse it inside the house’s rooms. This complex system requires a slightly higher installation investment than an air conditioner, but it will quickly enable significant energy savings, in addition to saving on heating costs in winter. The heat pump will offer a comfortable environment and an ambient temperature throughout the house, regardless of the time of year.
Choosing an Air Conditioner
The air conditioner’s role is to cool the ambient air of the house. Since the circulation of gas it contains is only in one direction, it cools the outside air, which it then diffuses inside the house. Unlike the heat pump, the air conditioner’s use mainly spans a few months during the hot summer periods. In addition to being cheaper during installation, your air conditioner will primarily operate in summer, which won’t affect your electricity bill (and your wallet) throughout the year!
INVERTER Technology
Moreover, thanks to the well-known “Inverter” technology on the market and offered with Daikin, your air conditioner or heat pump will always operate consistently. You can leave it on at the chosen temperature, and the system will take care of everything, without you having to turn it on or off. It’s similar to your car’s cruise control, which maintains a constant speed once activated. No need to change the selected settings. This technology will allow you to save on your energy costs, maintain a comfortable temperature in your home at all times, and have an effective, durable, and quiet product.
A Wall-mounted or Central System?
For both a heat pump and an air conditioner, the system can be either central or wall-mounted. The central system means that heat or cool air is transmitted from a central point in the house to all rooms. It is prioritized in larger areas and residences with an existing air duct system. On the other hand, the wall-mounted system is preferable in smaller homes or those without ventilation ducts.
