If the air conditioner at home can heat, do I still need to buy an air-energy heat pump?

A question that many users are entangled with: the air conditioner also has a heating function, do I still need to buy an air-energy heating heat pump? In fact, this mainly depends on the user's specific needs for heating effect and comfort. What is the difference between traditional air conditioning heating and air-energy heat pump heating? The summary is mainly the following 3 points.

1. Heating effect and comfort

Traditional air conditioners: mainly designed for cooling, with low energy efficiency when heating in winter. When using air conditioning for heating, the hot air is concentrated in the middle and upper parts of the human body, which can easily cause dry mouth, dizziness, and discomfort.

Air-energy heat pump: The air-energy terminal can be connected to fan coils, radiators, and floor heating systems, which is more flexible and diverse to meet the needs of different families; the air-energy water system is cold and warm, and is used with floor heating. The temperature rise is transmitted from bottom to top, providing a comfortable feeling of "warm enough and cool on top", which not only ensures the warmth of the body but also the clarity of the mind, and is more in line with the comfort needs of the human body.

2. Energy-saving of equipment operation

Traditional air conditioners: Traditional air conditioning heating and cooling systems directly use electricity to work, which consumes a lot of energy. In winter, the efficiency may be reduced due to low outdoor temperature and frequent defrosting, thereby consuming more electricity and increasing electricity costs.

Air energy heat pump: Air energy uses energy-saving heat exchange technology to exchange free heat energy from the air, and uses a small amount of electricity to drive the compressor to work, thereby achieving a heating effect, which is more energy-saving and power-saving. Compared with traditional air conditioning pure electric heating, air energy heat pumps have significant energy-saving effects, and there is no need to worry about electricity costs for long-term use.

3. Stability in ultra-low temperature environment

Traditional air conditioners: Although air conditioners have cooling and heating functions, the normal operating environment temperature of traditional air conditioners is above -7°C, and as the ambient temperature drops, the heating capacity of air conditioners drops rapidly. Therefore, traditional air conditioners are rarely used for heating in the north.

Air energy heat pump: Air energy heat pump is specially designed for ultra-low temperature heating. It is equipped with EVI jet enthalpy increase technology + intelligent high-efficiency defrosting technology. It can operate stably in an extremely cold environment of -35℃. It can still heat efficiently in the long-term and low-temperature northern heating season.

Therefore, if the family pursues better heating comfort, energy-saving effect and versatility, installing an air energy heat pump is a more suitable choice. It not only effectively provides a more comfortable heating experience, but also helps families save heating and cooling costs in long-term operation.
