Can air source heat pump replace air conditioning?



Air source heat pump or traditional home air conditioning, which is better? We are very familiar with the traditional household air conditioning, and the air source heat pump is good or not is a lot of people's question. The main reason is that air source heat pump is less used by families, and people have few opportunities to experience the effect of air source heat pump on the scene, so many people may not know much about it. Next, I will give you a detailed introduction of the differences and characteristics of air source heat pump and traditional household air conditioning.


1.The function is different.

Air source heat pumps and traditional air conditioners, including vertical air conditioners and wall-mounted air conditioners have the function of both cold and warm. But the core function of the air source heat pump is focused on "heating + refrigeration", while the traditional air conditioning is focused on refrigeration, heating is an auxiliary function.


2. The principle is different

The difference between air source heat pump and traditional air conditioning is that the way of cooling and heating is different. Air source heat pump is a water system, to heat pump for air energy conversion, resulting in heat and cooling effect. And the traditional household air conditioning is a fluorine machine, its principle is to refrigerant liquid conversion and compression, and then in a low temperature state into the evaporator, and then through the fan to send cold air.


3. installation cost is different

The advantage of air source heat pump is that the heating and refrigeration comfort is strong, at the same time relatively save power consumption. The disadvantage is that the initial installation cost is relatively high. The traditional air conditioning is cheap and easy to install, which is also the choice of many family users. But in the long term, the actual cost of air source heat pump is really low, the reason is very simple, the life of air source heat pump can reach more than 30 years, while the traditional household air conditioning is generally between 7-10 years. Take a closer look at the monthly electricity bill. The average power consumption of an air source heat pump is less than two fifths of that of a traditional air conditioner. Over the course of a year, an air source heat pump can greatly save unnecessary expenses.




4.cold and warm effect is different

Air source heat pump because of the use of heating from the bottom of the design, without the need to lay expensive heating pipes, can also feel comfortable heating. And the traditional household air conditioning, whether it is split or central air conditioning, heating effect is not good. In addition, air conditioning heating is blowing hot air type, thermal expansion and contraction of the cause, the indoor cold air sinking, the feet are often cold air, resulting in air conditioning blowing hot air, can only hover in the head, can not go down to the feet. Standing on the floor, it doesn't feel so warm.


5: installation mode is different

Air source heat pump is a kind of heating equipment in the shelter, through the floor heating pipe and hanging overhead disc, heating and refrigeration are installed in a very hidden place, both beautiful and save space. And household air conditioning needs to occupy the wall or ground space, affecting the overall design planning and effect.



Therefore, in order to achieve better cooling and heating of the house, air source heat pump is absolutely your best choice!
