Heat Pumps

A typical back to back installation of a single split system, without any complications, takes approximately four hours. Meanwhile, installation on an internal wall can take up to one day.

Times can vary from project to project, depending on the complexities of the building, pipe runs or electrical requirements.

Key considerations include the size of the area you wish to heat or cool, the local climate, the number of windows in the area, insulation in the walls and possible location options.

Correctly determining the size of equipment for your space is critical and directly relates to how much energy or heat the unit can produce. An undersized unit will be ineffective in bringing a room to the desired temperature, while an oversized unit will turn off and on frequently, causing wear and tear.

Good quality equipment, installed by qualified contractors like Energy Workshop, can have a life span of 10 to 15 years. Poor maintenance and environmental factors can cause premature failure. Regular inspection and maintenance will allow your system to operate normally for as long as possible. 

No.  The Gree heat pumps very reasonable noise levels. You will find most of the noise you are hearing inside your house is the sound of the air being forced out of the internal grills, similar to a circulation fan.  You can control how fast the internal fan runs and thus its’ noise levels, by using the remote control.

As a guideline, it is recommended that commercial systems have a thorough annual preventative maintenance check, coupled with three quarterly filter checks.

Residential units require a comprehensive service every two years as a minimum (when filters are being cleaned regularly). However you may wish to do this annually before each winter to ensure your unit is working optimally.

It is important to keep vegetation clear of the outdoor unit so that airflow is not impeded and to check the unit is clear of leaves monthly.
