Which Heat Pump Type Is Right For Me?

What type of heating system do you currently have? Do you have a water tank? Do you have space for a water tank? Do you have underfloor heating or radiator systems? Depending on your situation, the system type and configuration may differ.

Simple all-in-one solution, Monoblock heat pump

As the name suggests, a monoblock heat pump system comes in a single unit. The components of a monoblock system are all contained in an outdoor unit which allows for more efficient use of the indoor space. This means that the unit only connects to a water tank, so there is no need to install an entire unit in the mechanical room. If you already have an existing water tank, a monoblock unit can easily be installed.

Depending on your existing heating system, you can free up space where a boiler was previously installed for storage or other uses. These stand-alone systems do not require refrigerant piping and can be easily installed by simply connecting the water pipes. These units also eliminate the risk of refrigerant leaks into the home as the only element entering the home is water. Any trained heating engineer can conveniently install a monobloc system without additional F-gas qualifications.

While a monobloc system can save on internal space, the outdoor units can be larger and heavier than other air-to-water heat pumps, so it is important to make sure you have enough space to fit the unit into your property.

Flexible to fit any home, Split Heat Pump

A split heat pump includes a separate outdoor unit and an indoor unit. Additionally, unlike a monoblock or hydrosplit system. The split heat pump requires refrigerant piping between the indoor and outdoor units. Because the outdoor and indoor units are separate, the outdoor unit for a split system is smaller and takes up less space in your property, which also makes it a little more flexible when it comes to deciding where to install it.

The split heat pump system uses refrigerant piping between the outdoor and indoor units, which eliminates the risk of the pipes freezing in winter. This distance between the units can also be as much as 50 meters, making installation even more flexible.

With a wide range of indoor unit types including wall-mounted units, integrated tank units and high-temperature indoor units, there is plenty of choice.

The integrated tank units are combined with a water tank, so you don’t need to buy a separate water tank. The integrated tank units also offer even more efficient use of indoor space and more refined designs, as the water tank is fully integrated. Small-capacity split heat pumps are particularly popular for new homes that meet the regulations for well-insulated buildings. The integrated tank allows small-capacity split heat pumps to meet the DHW needs of a home.
