Are you looking for an efficient way to both heat and cool your home? Then an air-to-air heat pump might be the solution for you. In this article, you will discover the many advantages, possible disadvantages and how this versatile system works.
What is an air-to-air heat pump?
An air-to-air heat pump is a type of heat pump that allows you to both heat and cool your indoor space. It is therefore similar to a air-conditioning system, but with more options. This type of heat pump is mainly known in the form of a monoblock air-conditioning system: An air-conditioning system where there is no outdoor unit. It is very popular because of its cost-effectiveness and relative simplicity of installation.
How does an air-to-air heat pump work?
When an air-to-air heat pump heats a room, it draws in indoor air using a fan. A compressor located inside the unit compresses the refrigerant gas, raising its temperature. This heated gas then passes through a heat exchanger, transferring the heat to the air. This heated air is blown into the room, and this is repeated until when the room is at the desired temperature. Cooling a room proceeds in the opposite way.
