Hi all,
Slightly different topic from all the other heat-pump topics on geekzone. I currently rent (with an excellent landlord who is happy for me to live in the house like its my own, so I can paint, change things around, etc.) We currently use electric heating but with such a cold winter and being in muggy Auckland we have decided to get a heat-pump, but we need one that can be moved when we move out. Some specs:
* The house is insulated (floor and ceiling) and is a single level brick and tile.
* I am looking to have this in the living area. Lounge is 6.5m x 4m, standard height, large opening to dining / kitchen which is 6.5m x 3.
What I am wondering is are there any heat-pumps that would be better from a "easy to remove and return the house to good" again? I assume floor units are better than high wall options as they can be free standing? Or are they screwed to the wall?
I have considered portable units but understand they are quite noisy (due to the pump being inside).
Anything else I haven't considered?
