Heat pumps are one of the most popular heating and cooling options for homes across Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty. Known for their energy efficiency, convenience, and versatility, Mitsubishi heat pumps are a smart choice for local households. Yet despite their growing popularity, several persistent myths still cause confusion for homeowners considering a heat pump.
In this article, Bay of Plenty Heat Pumps, certified Mitsubishi heat pump installers and service providers in Tauranga, debunk five of the most common myths about heat pumps—and explain why a Mitsubishi system is an excellent investment for your home.
Busted: Modern Mitsubishi heat pumps are designed for ultra-quiet performance. Models like the Mitsubishi Electric AP Series run as quietly as 18–19 decibels—so quiet that it’s barely noticeable. Whether you're relaxing at home in Tauranga or working from a home office, your heat pump delivers consistent comfort without the noise.
Busted: Mitsubishi heat pumps are extremely energy efficient. Using advanced inverter technology, they automatically adjust their output to maintain the set temperature without constant stopping and starting. This efficient operation can lead to power bill reductions of up to 60%, making it far cheaper than electric heaters, gas, or wood burners—especially important for homes in Tauranga where heating and cooling are needed year-round.
Busted: This might have applied to older systems but not to Mitsubishi’s modern range. Models featuring HyperCore® technology maintain full heating capacity even when outdoor temperatures drop to -15°C. Perfect for Tauranga winters, when chilly mornings are common, these systems ensure you stay warm no matter the weather.
Busted: Mitsubishi heat pumps are reverse-cycle systems, providing both heating in winter and cooling in summer. When the hot Tauranga summer arrives, your heat pump switches to air conditioning mode, removing heat from inside your home to create a comfortable, cool indoor environment.
Busted: When installed correctly and regularly maintained, Mitsubishi heat pumps are built to last 15 years or more. With Bay of Plenty Heat Pumps providing expert installation and servicing across Tauranga, you can rely on your heat pump to deliver consistent performance, energy efficiency, and comfort for many years to come.
Mitsubishi heat pumps are quiet, reliable, efficient, and perfect for Tauranga’s climate—providing both heating and cooling in one system. Don’t let outdated myths stop you from enjoying the comfort, energy savings, and convenience that a modern heat pump offers.
