10 best heat pumps

To determine the ratio of consumed and output power of heating devices, the COP coefficient is used. We will not delve into mathematical formulas and understand how it is calculated, let's just say that this is a figure showing how efficiently the consumed energy is converted into useful energy. And now we have the best heat pump in this regard. He has the highest COP. With a power output for heating a house of 3.5 kilowatts, the device takes only 0.7. A real miracle, allowing good savings on both electricity and heating. But when buying, you will have to spend a lot, and this increases the payback period, and this is without taking into account possible repairs and scheduled maintenance.

If you want to warm the air at home and decide to buy a heat pump, but you are scared away by the average prices on the market, pay attention to this model. This is the cheapest device of those that can be called high-quality and reliable. You can easily find reviews about the model on specialized sites, and there users talk about the honesty of the manufacturer, which does not overestimate the characteristics. Yes, they are not top notch.For example, the heating power is only 3 kilowatts, but the energy consumption is less than one. Such equipment is not enough for a large house, or you will have to use it as an auxiliary one. To confirm the quality of the pump, the manufacturer gives a three-year warranty, and this is a lot even for European brands.

For those who value high quality and reliability, this is the best value for money heat pump. Not the most popular brand in Russia, but very famous in the USA. On American marketplaces, positive reviews are often written about him and there is no reason not to trust them. The device is the most reliable and capable of working for the declared 15-17 years, never requiring repair. There is also a very simple maintenance that you can do yourself. But you need to keep in mind that the power of the device is quite low. On the one hand, this is a plus, since the energy consumption at the maximum is less than a kilowatt, on the other hand, it is a minus, since the thermal power is only 3.2 kW. If your house is more than 80 square meters, it is better to look for another option.

The main argument that guides people when buying a heat pump is savings. Yes, it is, but it is important that the device has a long service life, since the initial price greatly levels this value. Most often, manufacturers claim a 15-year service life for their devices, but in this case we see 20, and this can be trusted. The manufacturer has never been seen manipulating numbers. This is a top Japanese brand that has been on the market for a long time and values ​​​​its reputation. Also, the advantages include the latest technologies that allow you to quickly warm up the air and heat the house, and the quietest operation of both units, both indoor and outdoor. And you can control the system through your smartphone.

If it seems to you that this heat pump is unreasonably expensive, do not rush to conclusions, but first look at its characteristics. This is a product of Russian production, which took into account the peculiarities of the local climate. It can be used in the northern regions, and the power is enough to heat your home. With a maximum energy consumption of 2 kilowatts, the heat produced by the pump is more than 7 kW. That is, the performance is gigantic, which means that savings on heating will begin much earlier. This is the best option in terms of the ratio of consumed and produced energy, and by adding many useful functions to this, we completely level out the not-so-attractive price tag.

If you need an air-to-water heat pump, but with two circuits and you are not ready to spend a fabulous amount, then the best option is now in front of you. This is the cheapest pump on the market, yet it can provide both hot water and heating to your home. But only on condition that you do not live in the northern region. The maximum heating of the coolant is 60 degrees, which is not so much. However, on the network you can find reviews on how this pump is integrated into a conventional heating system, thereby removing the load from the AOGV or another boiler. The option is excellent and inexpensive, and since the brand is not the most famous, the manufacturer gives an extended warranty for any breakdowns, thereby proving to us that the pump is of high quality and reliable.

The RAS-2.5WHVNP outdoor unit belongs to Yutaki's range, the widest on the market. The developed assortment allows owners of country houses to build any air heating systems on a modular basis, at any time increasing its capabilities and energy efficiency. In addition, the S Combi series is distinguished by compact dimensions and light weight (for the RAS-2.5WHVNP model - 600x792x300 mm, 43 kg), which, according to reviews, greatly facilitate installation in small spaces. All Hitachi heat pumps are characterized by a high economic feasibility, expressed by the COP coefficient. For this unit, it is 5.25 (for heating) and 3.4 (DHW).

For many users, the issue of device dimensions is very important. Now we have the most compact air-to-water pump that will not take up much space in your home. At the same time, it cannot be said that it has a small performance. Thermal power - almost 7 kilowatts with an energy consumption of 1 kW. The water in this pump heats up in a matter of minutes, however, only up to 40 degrees.It will not work to raise the temperature higher, which means that this unit will not work as a single heating system. But it can become part of the hot water supply or heating, removing some of the load from the solid fuel or gas boiler. However, there is no need to talk about savings in this case. The payback will be long, and the device itself is expensive.

Daikin EHBH16CB3V is one of the most efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly heat pump installations. The unit is an indoor unit of the Daikin Altherma split system, operating on the principle of "air - water". The heat output of the equipment is 16 kW, which is designed to serve the area of ​​​​the house from 100 to 160 square meters. m. It is possible to combine it with a hot water supply system. Unlike most other models, the Daikin heat pump allows you to get the highest water heating temperature - up to 80 °. High energy efficiency is achieved through inverter compressor power control technology. In reviews, inverters, whether in air conditioners, refrigerators or heat pumps, are called the best in terms of silence.

A well-known American manufacturer presents a universal thermal system for year-round maintenance of a comfortable air temperature in the house at minimal cost. The CH-HP16SINKM model consists of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, when connected, they simultaneously solve the problem of heating, air conditioning the internal space, as well as preparing hot water. It is permissible to connect various heating equipment to the system: fan coil units, "warm floor", convectors, radiators. In addition to the basic functions, the heat pump has additional functions that significantly increase efficiency, safety and ease of use. So, the user can, if necessary, heat and even disinfect the water in an accelerated mode.
