The Ins and Outs of Ducted Heat Pump Systems

Posted on October 8, 2024

Are you looking for a heating and cooling system that can provide consistent comfort throughout your entire home? A ducted heat pump might be the perfect solution. This type of system offers a range of benefits that adapt perfectly to New Zealand's changing seasons, providing warmth in the winter and cool air in the summer—all with remarkable energy efficiency.

To help you understand how ducted heat pumps work and why they’re so popular in homes across the country, our heat pump experts at DCIS have put together this helpful guide.

What is a Ducted Heat Pump System?

A ducted heat pump system works by distributing heated or cooled air throughout your home via a series of ducts, creating a consistent and comfortable temperature in every room. Unlike single-unit heat pumps or split systems, which often heat or cool specific areas, ducted systems offer whole-home coverage. This is especially beneficial in larger homes or multi-storey properties where temperature consistency can be a challenge.

The main parts of a ducted heat pump system include an outdoor compressor unit and an indoor air handling unit that are connected by flexible ducting. The system draws air from inside your home, conditions it to your desired temperature, and then distributes it evenly throughout each room to make sure your living space stays at a constant temperature, no matter what the weather outside is like.

The Benefits of a Ducted Heat Pump

Whole-Home Comfort

One of the major benefits of a ducted heat pump is its ability to maintain a consistent temperature throughout your entire home. Whether you want to cool down on a hot summer’s day or warm up during the chilly winter months, a ducted heat pump offers seamless comfort all year round. With advanced thermostats, you can also zone control different areas of the house so that everyone in the family is comfortable, no matter where they are in your home.

Energy Efficiency

You might think it’s expensive to run a heat pump, but when you choose a ducted system, you're getting one of the most energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions available. That’s because modern systems, like the Mitsubishi Electric Ducted Heat Pump System, are designed to consume less power while delivering maximum results. Thanks to inverter technology, these systems adjust their output based on the current room temperature to make sure they’re only using as much energy as necessary.

Discreet and Quiet

Another standout feature of a ducted heat pump system is its low-profile design. Unlike traditional heat pumps or wall-mounted units, ducted systems are installed in the ceiling or floor, making them virtually invisible—ideal for homeowners who value aesthetics and want to maintain a sleek, modern look in their living spaces. Ducted heat pumps also tend to operate very quietly, so you won’t even notice they’re running. It’s the perfect climate control without the noise.

Which Ducted Heat Pump System Should You Choose?

If you're looking for the best ducted heat pump for your home, you can't go wrong with a Mitsubishi Electric Ducted Heat Pump System. We recommend this system because not only are they designed with New Zealand homes in mind, they also offer everything you need for reliable, year-round comfort.

Here’s why Mitsubishi Electric is the leading choice for ducted heat pumps in Christchurch and across the country:

Flexible Duct Design

One of the biggest advantages of Mitsubishi Electric ducted heat pumps is their flexible duct design. With a range of airflow options, you can choose the best configuration to suit your home's layout. This flexibility makes it easy to find the perfect system for both new builds and renovations.

Splittable Models for Easy Installation

Mitsubishi Electric offers splittable models that are perfect for homes undergoing renovations. These models can be separated into two parts, making it easier to fit them through ceiling holes and install them in tight spaces, so if you're upgrading your home, these splittable models are an excellent option.

Energy-Efficient Ventilation with Lossnay Heat Recovery

Mitsubishi Electric goes beyond just heating and cooling with its Lossnay Fresh Air Heat Recovery Ventilation System. This patented solution works by recovering heat from stale air extracted from your home and using it to pre-warm or pre-cool incoming fresh air. The result is a healthier home environment with improved air quality, lower energy costs, and increased comfort.

Mitsubishi Electric Lossnay: The Ultimate Ventilation Solution

While ducted heat pumps are fantastic for maintaining the perfect indoor temperature, ventilation plays an important role in ensuring a healthy, comfortable living environment. This is where Mitsubishi Electric’s Lossnay Fresh Air Heat Recovery Ventilation system truly shines. When combined with a ducted heat pump, it offers the ultimate solution for home climate control and air quality.

Here’s how it works:

  • The system extracts stale air from inside your home, replacing it with fresh, allergen-reduced air from outside.
  • While this fresh air is brought into your home, the system recovers heat energy from the stale air it has removed, using it to pre-warm or pre-cool the incoming air.
  • This reduces the workload on your ducted heat pump, making the entire system more energy-efficient and cost-effective.

With this integration, Mitsubishi Electric provides a comprehensive home solution that combines heating, cooling, and ventilation, ensuring your home remains a comfortable and healthy place to live at any time of year.
