Can you heat or cool multiple rooms with a heat pump?
You can heat or cool multiple spaces – here’s how
Air-to-air heat pumps (also known as air conditioners) are incredibly flexible and versatile: they can heat or cool multiple rooms at once. You just need to choose the right type of system, with the right number of indoor heat pump units for optimal comfort – everywhere. Here are your options.
How many rooms can I heat or cool with an air-to-air heat pump?
Air-to-air heat pumps can heat or cool multiple rooms. They work on a split system. An outdoor unit is fitted to the exterior of your home and is connected to one or more indoor units. The units extract heat from the air outside and distribute the air at the right temperature around your home.
Daikin South Africa offers two types of systems to choose from:
- Split System: This consists of one outdoor and one indoor unit, ideal for heating or cooling a single space. It's particularly effective for smaller homes with open-plan layouts. You can select from wall-mounted, floor-standing, or concealed ceiling indoor units, all designed to seamlessly blend into your interior.
- Multi System: The outdoor unit connects to up to five indoor units, allowing you to control the temperature in multiple rooms simultaneously. This maximises the use of your outdoor unit and provides flexible heating and cooling options. Each room can have a different style or size unit tailored to its specific requirements. For instance, a smaller unit may be perfect for bedrooms, while a larger one suits living areas. Each indoor unit can be adjusted individually via its remote control or an app, enabling customised comfort levels in different rooms.
Can I heat and cool different rooms in my home simultaneously?
No. Although you can set individual indoor units to different temperatures so that one room is heated or cooled more than another, air-to-air heat pumps can only heat or cool at any one time.
Do you need an air-to-air heat pump in every room?
No, you do not need one unit in every room. Daikin air-to-air heat pump units range in capacity from 1.5 kW to 7 kW, so they can heat or cool large areas. With a multi system, it might be possible to add an additional indoor unit at a later stage if required, up to a maximum of five per outdoor unit.
Maximum flexibility in multiple rooms
So, you get unrivalled flexibility and discreet operation with optimal performance and exceptional energy efficiency in multiple rooms. Daikin products are easy to install and maintain, giving you a temperature that's just right in every space in your home.
