Heat pumps are easy to use and exceptionally convenient:

A heat pump enables you to increase or decrease the temperature of your room, or switch from heating to cooling at the push of a button on the remote control. Heat pumps can heat up or cool down a room within a few minutes, then, once the room reaches your preferred temperature, the heat pump will retain that temperature for as long as you require it to.

Comparison to a conventional electric heater:

The best heat pumps can produce a great deal of hot or cold air with a relatively small energy input. For example an electric heater will use 1kw (18 cents) of electrical energy to produce 1kw of heat, whereas a 6star heat pump will use 1kw of electrical energy to produce around 4kws (72 cents) of heat. This is energy efficiency at its best.

Safe, clean and comfortable heating:

With no flames or red hot heating elements there are no concerns about burns or fire.
They can be left on while you are out or asleep. Heat pumps don’t create smoke, ashes or any waste material. And they do not burn oxygen.
