F.A.Q

An air-to-water heat pump works by extracting heat from the outside air and transferring it to the water in your heating system. The process involves a refrigerant that absorbs heat from the air through an outdoor unit. This refrigerant is then compressed, raising its temperature, and the heat is transferred to the water in the system via a heat exchanger. This heated water can then be used for space heating or domestic hot water. The system can also work in reverse for cooling during warmer months.

Mycond and C&H air-to-water heat pumps boast high efficiency, eco-friendliness, and reliability, and can be used for both heating and hot water supply in any home. The monoblock models with R290 refrigerant have a very high SCOP rating, reaching 5.14. This means that 1 kWh of electricity can produce 5.14 kWh of heat energy. Using R290 refrigerant, they can heat the heat carrier to +75°C, making them suitable for both modern and older buildings.

The life expectancy of air-to-water heat pumps typically ranges from 15 to 20 years, depending on factors such as the quality of the installation, the frequency and quality of maintenance, and the operating conditions. Regular annual servicing helps ensure optimal performance and longevity. Mycond and C&H heat pumps come with a warranty of up to 7 years, which provides additional peace of mind and protection for your investment.

The basic installation requirements for Mycond and C&H air-to-water heat pumps include having a suitable electrical connection, a suitable location for the outdoor unit, and professional installation. Heat pump installation costs start from €3290 depending on the model and the location of your home.

Yes, heat pumps do require regular maintenance to ensure they operate efficiently and have a long lifespan. Annual servicing is recommended and includes inspecting and adjusting the equipment, cleaning filters, checking refrigerant levels, and ensuring all components are functioning correctly. Regular maintenance helps to prevent potential issues, optimize performance, and extend the life of the heat pump.

Mycond and C&H heat pumps cost from €99 per year, depending on the model, the length of the warranty period and the location of your home. The service includes checking the operation and necessary adjustments to the equipment to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Using R290 refrigerant in heat pumps provides high efficiency and safety. This refrigerant has a low global warming potential and does not contain chlorine, making it environmentally safe. Mycond and C&H offer models capable of heating the heat carrier up to +75°C, making them an ideal choice for heating and hot water supply in various types of premises, including older homes prevalent in different regions of Ireland.
