No! In New Zealand, we call them heat pumps, whereas other countries call them air conditioners. Heat pumps and air conditioners are the same thing! They use technology to cool and heat any space you desire – making it a versatile option for year-round climate control.

There are several factors to consider when determining what capacity heat pump you should buy. Here are some of the things you should consider:

1. Size of the space

The size of the space to be heated and cooled is an important factor in determining the capacity of the heat pump. The larger the area, the larger the capacity heat pump that will be required to heat and cool it adequately.

1. Climate

The climate in which the heat pump will be used is another important consideration. In areas with colder temperatures, a heat pump with a higher capacity will be required to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures during the winter months.

1. Energy efficiency

Choosing a heat pump with high energy efficiency ratings is essential to help lower energy costs and reduce environmental impact. A higher-capacity heat pump may have lower efficiency ratings, so it is important to balance capacity with efficiency.

Generally, it is best to consult with professional heat pump installers like our team at Oxygen Air to determine the appropriate capacity heat pump for a specific space.
