Your heat pump installation project

Thinking of installing a heat pump in your home? To make an informed decision, take note of the benefits of this heating and cooling system and the models available to you.

What options are available?

Essentially, there are two types of heat pumps: the wall model and the central model. Let's see in more detail the specificities of each of these.

The wall mounted-heat pump

The wall-mounted heat pump differs from the central model due to its ability to operate in the absence of ventilation ducts. Moreover, this characteristic makes it easier to install, because no work is required for the installation of ducts. Finally, this system offers the possibility to precisely adjust the temperature inside the house.

The central model

For its part, the central model aims to control the temperature in each room of the house, which is why it includes several independent systems. In addition, central heat pumps need ventilation ducts because the way they work is that they transfer heat from room to room.
