Modern technology gives us many options for heating our homes, regardless of the temperature outdoors, just by pressing a button. Similarly, stifling summer heat no longer disrupts the thermal comfort of our apartments. Better yet, it’s possible to invest in a single device that handles both functions, heating and cooling: a heat pump.
The most economical solution is definitely a wall-mounted heat pump, and its price, easy installation and energy efficiency have made this very popular in Quebec.
Selecting the best heat pump for your home
Before purchasing a heat pump, you need information about the characteristics of each model in terms of the following factors: energy efficiency, features, brand, warranty, price.
The energy efficiency of heat pumps is measured using a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating and a model with a SEER of at least 15 is considered very efficient. These units are also EnergyStar certified, recommended by governments and qualify for government grants.
In terms of features, heat pumps are versatile systems that can be used in both heating and cooling modes. Some of these products have even been adapted to their owners’ current needs and can be controlled from smartphones. They also boast many additional features (variable-speed compressors, programming sleep, and Wi-Fi buttons).
Knowing all this information, our customers prefer the following products:
