Heat pumps are a stunningly effective home appliance, but despite their popularity, a hoard of myths surrounds their application. In particular, there’s a specific myth about HVAC heat pump systems that won’t seem to end, stating that while these units are efficient in maintaining a cool temperature in your home during a typical fall day or summer, they aren’t as effective when temperatures drop during winters. But is it true?

In reality, this isn’t the case, and to debunk this myth, this post seeks to explain how heat pumps work in the cold and why you should check SPRSUN low temperature heat pumps for the ultimate solution, even when it’s chilly outside, for your comfort.

How Do Heat Pumps operate in the winter?

During warm weather periods, and you’ve set your heat pump unit to a ‘cool setting,’ it operates like a traditional air conditioner or standard refrigerator-subsequently absorbing heat from indoor hot air and dispatching it outside through the fridge piping system.

In the winter season, when you’ve set your unit to ‘heating,’ this whole procedure is reversed: heat pumps can warm your premises by extracting heat from outside and dispatching it indoors. But exactly how can heat pumps absorb heat from outside when it’s freezing? Ideally, even chilly air contains some heat. These HVAC units are uniquely designed to effectively extract even the slightest amounts of heat and convert it into warm, comfy indoor air to generate favorable premise conditions for your family.

The Best Heat Pumps for Cold Climate

The market boasts an assortment of heat pump glossary models. But, only a few specific units can reliably generate heat. Typically, although heat pumps use a similar mechanism to operate, the variance in features and techniques unique to the manufacturers makes all the difference. As you will learn from this post, various functionalities and features make a heat pump effective in a cold climate. Here are two of the best heat pumps for cold conditions

 SPRSUN EVI DC (9.6KW) Inverter Split Heat Pump

Features & Specifications

• Smart control
• Excellent low noise feature
• Intelligent defrosting
• Voltage range options 330V-450V or (150V-260V)

This SPRSUN heat pump unit is one of the best units for cold settings. It is specifically designed to facilitate proper heating and cooling of your home during chilly conditions, heating domestic use water, and general house warming to stay in your home comfortably.

It has a minimum ambient temperature of -25ºC. This feature is vital in allowing the heater to automatically boost the frequency it’s operating, although it depends on the given ambient temperature. Also, it enhances its capacity to heat when exposed to relatively low temperatures.

This inverter split unit has a unique anti-freeze protection feature that enhances its heating proficiency. Typically, it comprises an indoor element that blows air over its evaporator coil and an exclusive unit that powers the system. With this technology, the unit can detect the system’s water temperature, after which the unique anti-freeze feature automatically starts operating.

The 9.6kW EVI heat pump also boasts fast cooling and heating speeds courtesy of its EVI rotary Panasonic compressor that boosts high-efficiency levels while also ensuring the component operates at high-efficiency levels.
