Heat Pumps provide effective and controllable heating, whilst consuming up to 80% less power

Air conditioning being solely for cooling is a common misconception, as virtually all of today's air conditioning systems feature heat pumps which can heat as well as cool to provide total year round comfort.

This heating facility is not achieved through the use of conventional, power hungry electric heating elements, but instead through the use of highly energy efficient reverse cycle (heat pump) technology. In simple terms Heat Pumps provide effective and controllable heating, whilst consuming up to 80% less power than any other form of electrical heating.

Most of our commercial air conditioning and domestic air conditioning systems have the option of heat pump technology. All systems that include heat pumps can both heat and cool which results in less initial investment and greater simplicity for operation and maintenance. Unlike fossil fuel based systems, heat pumps extract available heat from the outside air resulting in Heat pumps offering efficiency gains of 3:1 and higher, compared to electrical heating.
