Pro Series Floor Console Air Conditioner

Yes, floor-mounted heat pumps like the Rinnai Pro Series Floor Console are ideal for heating larger rooms quickly and efficiently. Their low placement allows warm air to circulate at the level where it’s most felt, making them particularly effective for Kiwi homes in cooler regions.

While floor consoles offer strong, low-level airflow and are great in open-plan spaces, they may have slightly slower performance in very large rooms compared to high-mounted units. However, the Rinnai Pro Series Floor Console addresses this with dual air outlets and turbo mode for fast temperature control.

It depends on your room layout and preferences. The Rinnai floor console is perfect when wall space is limited or if you prefer a low-profile look. It delivers consistent, evenly spread warmth at floor level, whereas high wall units push air from above. Floor consoles are a great alternative where high wall placement isn’t practical.

No, with multi-split systems, you don”t need a separate outdoor heat pump unit for each room. A single outdoor unit can connect to multiple indoor units, providing heating and cooling to multiple rooms independently. Depending on what you choose, you will need a high wall unit for each room, or a vent for each room.

Experienced and qualified installers usually take somewhere around 3-4 hours for a straightforward back-to-back (where the indoor unit and outdoor unit are positioned directly opposite each other on the interior and exterior of a wall) Heat Pump installation. More complex Heat Pump installations will take a bit longer.

Ducted systems can take between one to two days depending on the amount of spaces to be ducted. Installing a Heat Pump is a complex process requiring qualified trade professionals so must ALWAYS be undertaken by a reputable accredited installation company.

Factors such as the energy efficiency of your particular unit, whether it is sized correctly for the area, your individual energy company rates and how effectively you use the unit will all be a consideration here.

EECA (The Energy Efficiency & Conservation Authority) has identified Heat Pumps as one of the most energy efficient forms of heating around. Heat Pumps do not create heat, they simply move available heat from one place to another. The little energy that is needed is predominantly used to run the compressor.

A Heat Pump typically uses 1kW to create 4kW of heat. The result is around 4 times less energy needed to that of traditional electric heaters, saving you money by reducing your power bill. Running your heat pump is roughly one quarter the cost of traditional electric heating and are one of the most cost-effective ways of keeping your home warm and dry.

No heating appliance should be used 24 hours a day. Using your heat pump correctly is using it as required.

If you are not home during the day, there is no need to run your heat pump during the day, adding to your power bills unnecessarily. If your home has good insulation, a couple of hours in the morning and a few hours in the evening should suffice.
