What is a high temperature heat pump? And is it the right solution for you?
Our resident expert, Hamid Salimi, explains the unique benefits of a high temperature heat pump.
High temperature heat pumps are specifically designed to provide higher heat outputs, making them ideal for older buildings and colder climates.
No need for new radiators
High-temperature heat pumps are particularly suited to heating older buildings with traditional radiators, as their adaptability makes them perfect for modernising current systems. These heat pumps offer an efficient solution without causing significant structural modifications. Additionally, their compatibility with existing heating setups ensures a smooth transition to more sustainable and cost-effective heating alternatives.
Dependable in colder climates
For those looking to invest in a high-temperature heat pump, models such as the Daikin Altherma 3 H HT operate at superior high efficiencies across high, medium and low temperatures. High temperature heat pumps are a dependable solution for colder climates, offering a consistent flow temperature of 70°C, even in outdoor temperatures as low as -15°C.
Reduced environmental impact
One outstanding feature of Daikin’s high temperature heat pumps is the use of R32 refrigerant. With a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP), R32 achieves higher energy efficiency and lower CO2 emissions, meaning it’s the perfect solution for reducing environmental impact and has an important role to play in decarbonising homes.
Smart grid connections
Some premium high temperature heat pumps are also cloud-ready and effortlessly connect to the user’s Wi-Fi. They have built-in smart grid connections that deliver seamless solar PV connectivity, making it the ideal solution for those with eco-friendly homes.
Air source high-temperature heat pumps are specifically designed to provide higher heat outputs efficiently and reach higher delivery temperatures than standard heat pumps. This makes them adaptable to a broad range of homes, especially older properties.
