How air-to-air heat pumps significantly reduce heating costs, while increasing comfort in your commercial building
Uncertainty over the supply and pricing of natural gas has led businesses to look for ways to reduce their reliance on it and make their energy costs more predictable.
Part of the solution lies in switching to alternative sources of heating, such as air-to-air heat pumps, to efficiently heat your space. And the good news? You might have one in place already.
We're talking about your air conditioning system.
Your air conditioning system is actually an air-to-air heat pump, which, as well as cooling, can heat your building in a very efficient way. It is estimated that almost 30% of commercial buildings in the EU are still heated by gas, even though some are also equipped with an air conditioning system (1).
By simply switching your air conditioning unit to heating mode, you can start4 efficiently heating your building with renewable energy, instead of gas. This helps save money on your energy bill, reduces your impact on the environment and provides indoor comfort all year round.
How much can I reduce my energy bill and environmental impact?
Savings by switching to a heat pump are significant. Depending on your specific situation you can save between 35 and 49%(2) on energy costs. At the same time, you're taking a significant step in improving the sustainability of your building, reducing CO2 emissions by up to 86%(2) for heating and cooling.
Air-to-air heat pumps offer significant savings and help make your premises more sustainable. To calculate how much you could save for your shop, office, hotel, or warehouse for your country, you can use our lifecycle calculator.

Further reducing energy use in your building
Daikin's air-to-air heat pumps are also incredibly smart. That's because they can be linked to our cloud control, which allows you to control the heating and cooling of your commercial building at any time, from anywhere. You also get full control of your energy costs; you can visualise where energy waste is occurring; and predict issues before they happen to prevent system breakdown and keep your business running smoothly.
You can even integrate all your other building controls, enabling you to manage things like ventilation and lighting, as well heating and cooling, from one central point in our cloud.
This modular concept grows with your business and can be used across multiple sites.
Year-round comfort
Having a heat pump installed has several other benefits, as it maximizes comfort throughout the year. It offers you the ability to control the temperature and make sure you are comfortable. If that is cooling during summer, or heating during winter, a heat pump does it all.
And there are even more benefits that add to your comfort of living:
Reacts quickly to changing weather conditions (to avoid overheating, for example)
Comfortable airflow that reaches every corner of the space
Small and versatile indoor and outdoor units can be mounted high up or on the ceiling to save your precious wall space
Stylish design will blend seamlessly into your commercial setting
High efficiency up to A+++ in heating and cooling with only two energy transfer steps – air to refrigerant and refrigerant to air
