​In the world of energy-saving technologies, a heat pump is the optimal solution for autonomous heating of housing. The equipment uses the energy of natural sources: water, air or earth. It is the standard of efficiency and environmental friendliness. Due to the use of alternative types of energy, the heat pump consumes a minimum amount of electricity, which significantly reduces the cost of monthly payments. However, for the high-quality operation of this system, in addition to high-quality equipment, a professional installation of a heat pump is necessary.

Benefits of heat pumps for heating

The use of a heat pump for household needs in the home is gaining more and more popularity among consumers. Heat pumps are of two types:

With the right calculation and choice of the type of equipment, you implement a high-quality microclimate for your home.

Compared to gas and electric boilers, a heat pump performs more than just a heating function. It is also cost-effective and very efficient equipment because it uses low-grade heat from unlimited energy sources. For an air source heat pump it is air, for a geothermal pump, it is water or earth.

Benefits of heat pumps
01
Autonomy

The device does not depend on gas supply. This will save you on gas connection.

02
Versatility

The equipment simultaneously performs several functions: Cooling. Room heating. Hot water supply.

03
Cost-effctiveness

An air heat pump, consuming 1 kW of electricity, “gives off” 3 kW of heat, and a geothermal heat pump – 5 kW.

04
Environmental friendliness

No emissions into the environment and the use of alternative energy sources.

Heat pump installation process

The installation of heat pumps is a complex process that is difficult to perform without certain technical and practical skills. The lack of the ability to competently implement a design solution drawn up by an engineer is fraught with poor-quality operation of the heating system or its breakdown.

Installing a heat pump is a key step to ensure comfortable conditions in your home. A properly selected and installed heat pump will provide the required air temperature throughout the year. Since the device can work both for heating and for cooling.

Proper installation of a heat pump includes the installation of a boiler room, indoor and outdoor units. This process is a fairly large amount of work on the installation of equipment and laying communications (for example, pipelines). The installation of a heat pump requires not only a well-calculated project, but also the high professionalism of the installation team.

In addition to the direct installation of a heat pump, it is required to lay pipelines, install a hot water tank (hot water supply), shutoff valves, circulation pumps and other equipment.

It is much more convenient when the entire package of services is performed by one company, from design to installation, commissioning and further maintenance of the heat pump.

Pump installation

Alter Air specialists implement high-quality work of an air source heat pump (air-to-air or air-to-water) considering your wishes and building codes of Ukraine. We are fully responsible for the design and for high-quality efficient installation; we carry out the project from beginning to end, saving you time.

Heat pump installation stages:

  1. laying the Freon line;

  2. installation of indoor and outdoor units;

  3. commissioning.​

Installation of the freon line
Installation of the freon line

The heat pump consists of two units. One is installed in the street (outdoor), and the second in a house or apartment (indoor). A Freon line connects these units.

The copper Freon line is an integral element for the implementation of the heat pump, through which the refrigerant (Freon) circulates. Freon line consists of two tubes. In the first, Freon moves in the form of a gas, and in the second – in the form of a liquid.

The Freon line can be laid on the floor to preserve the aesthetic appearance of the room or along the wall.

A prerequisite for the installation of copper pipelines is thermal insulation. The tube insulation prevents the loss of power of the heat pump, which escapes via heat transfer during the movement of Freon along the lines. The better the insulation, the less heat loss. In addition, thermal insulation of Freon lines is used to avoid condensation.

Installation of outdoor and indoor units
Installation of outdoor and indoor units

Installation of the indoor unit

The indoor unit is installed on a special mounting plate in the wall, which often comes with the device. Therefore, there will be no problems with the device installation.

Installation of the outdoor unit

In order for the outdoor unit of the heat pump to perform its functions effectively and efficiently, it is necessary to take the issue of equipment placement very seriously.

The outdoor unit is installed on the outer wall of the building or near the house on a special stand.

If you live in an apartment, then it would be logical to install an outdoor unit on the facade of a multi-storey building. In this case, brackets are used. It is very important that the fasteners are strong and can withstand the considerable weight of the outdoor unit.

If you live in a private house, then the installation of a heat pump takes place near the building. The outdoor unit is installed on a stand. The stand can come with the unit or you can make it yourself.

Condensate drainage

When installing the outdoor unit, you need to remember that it condenses a lot of liquid. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a system for draining water - drainage.

Often, the removal of condensate in a multi-storey building is carried out by gravity. From a technical point of view, the correct solution is to drain the drainage into the sewer system.

Bringing a drain pipe to the facade of an apartment building and leaving it with dripping condensate is not the best solution. In addition, in modern new buildings, the developer prohibits organizing the drain system in this way. Because it spoils the aesthetic appearance of the facade and creates discomfort for the residents of the house.

To install a heat pump in a private house, special pits are provided, which are covered with stones. Then the outdoor unit is installed on top of the stand. Thus, condensate accumulates in the ground without creating puddles.

It is important that the area where the condensate accumulates is equipped with a heating system to avoid freezing of the equipment, which can lead to a breakdown of the unit. Also, additional heating is provided for the drainage tube.

  1. design;

  2. installation;

  3. commissioning;

  4. further service maintenance of the heat pump;

At the first professional consultation in our office in Kyiv, the client understands the approximate concept of a future heating system based on a heat pump. The system is selected based on the technical characteristics of the house, considering the wishes and budget of the customer.

​

Turnkey heat pump installation cost

The complex installation of an air source heat pump includes not only the installation of outdoor and indoor units, but also the laying of pipelines, the installation of a hot water tank (hot water supply), shutoff valves, circulation pumps, a storage tank and other equipment.

The piping of a heat pump for a classic facility will cost approximately UAH 200,000, not including the cost for the unit itself and the hot water tank.

Payback of heat pumps in Ukraine

With proper installation and proper use, an air source heat pump will be a profitable investment and will pay back in 10 years.

For a quick payback, you need to use all the features of a heat pump:

  • heating;

  • room cooling;

  • heating of water for hot water supply.

In addition, it must be considered that the heat pump operates at a low temperature of the heat carrier. For efficient operation of the heating system, it is necessary to cover 100% of the area of ​​​​the house with underfloor heating and use fan coil units as a backup source of heat during the heating season.

A fan coil is a piece of equipment that is used to cool or heat a room. With such a device, you do not have to pay extra for the additional installation of an air conditioning system.

To install a heat pump, it is necessary to ensure the energy efficiency of the house: a building design with low thermal conductivity and thermal insulation, install high-quality double-glazed windows; organize supply and exhaust ventilation with heat recovery to avoid heat losses and heat gains during ventilation, depending on the season.
