These days, everyone is looking to save. This includes saving energy and reducing utility bills. We’ve provided lots of tips on how to lower energy consumption and improve home comfort without breaking the bank. But this is all about the Daikin FIT heat pump and the energy savings you can experience with it.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are super energy-efficient HVAC systems that help households reduce their carbon footprint and lower their energy consumption. This is why the government of Canada and Enbridge Gas are giving out grants and rebates to help Canadians save on their installation. Heat pumps are also dual-function systems that can both heat and cool your space while using less energy than a traditional HVAC system.
The Daikin FIT
Then there’s the Daikin FIT.
The Daikin FIT is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including an inverter that provides even more energy savings than a traditional heat pump. On average, the Daikin FIT offers 30-40% savings over a non-inverter heat pump system. This info is from observations from a test site where two houses, next door to each other, both have a Daikin heat pump installed. Both units are ducted with a 16 SEER, but the FIT is using a Daikin Inverter. What’s more, in one week, the Daikin FIT achieved a 52% savings compared to the house with the traditional heat pump.
Of course, exact savings will depend on factors like house size, location, layout, and age. However, it’s clear that a Daikin FIT, equipped with the Daikin Inverter, saves even more energy than your average heat pump.
How Does the Daikin FIT Save More Energy?
The difference is in the inverter. The Daikin Inverter uses less power and uses it more evenly. It uses variable speeds to gradually cool or heat a home as opposed to single-stage heat pumps that turn on and off, effectively spiking energy usage. The Daikin Inverter minimizes temperature fluctuations which allows it to reach the set temperature faster and using less energy.
The Daikin Inverter is essentially a smart compressor drive module that gives you precise control over your home environment based on the space and desired temperature. This technology allows for:
- Minimal temperature fluctuations
- Optimal use of energy
- Prevention of overheating/overcooling
- Reaching set temperature more quickly
Other Benefits of the Daikin FIT
If that wasn’t already impressive enough, the Daikin FIT offers other benefits, including:
- A compact outdoor unit, perfect for multi-storey locations and small spaces.
- Operating noise that is 25% quieter than non-inverter ducted systems.
- The ability to integrate with existing ductwork.
- Compatible with the cloud-connected ONE+ smart thermostat.
