Is it smart to get a heat pump for my house in Phetchabun?

Dear readers,

I am currently having a house built in Phetchabun. I am now ready to choose the air conditioner. I understand that it is smart to take a heat pump that is an AC unit that can also work in reverse. So when it is very cool outside, for example 15C, it cools the outside air and carries the heat (which you throw out into the air in the summer) into the room.

Are there people who have good experience with this and with which brands?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Regards,

Dirk

    A very ordinary air conditioner is sufficient. Every room in my house has an air conditioner. Two of them, especially our bedroom and also the living room are used. The others are also helpful. Here the temperature sometimes drops to 10 degrees Celsius at night, during that time (Dec, Jan, Feb.) The bedroom air conditioning is usually not on. But in the rest of the house it is not used by the air conditioning, always warm enough, the day temperature is always 30+. Heating seems to me ...... I'm sure, is not necessary. And if you are a cold person, you buy a radiant heater. They are also available in Thailand.

    I don't know if an inverter is the same as an air conditioner with a heat pump, but if I had to choose our bedroom again, I would take an inverter. The experience with the 2 inverters in the 2 other bedrooms can be called good, those remote controls also have a choice for heat.

    the heat pump is many times more expensive, you can take an air conditioner and then buy a cheap electricity hot air blower for that few times when it is needed

    There is nothing wrong with it, the air conditioners with cold and warm air.. have a house in Khao Koh and occasionally need heat. Have Daikin there and very satisfied and silent. Now for a bit of humor, bought a new chevrolet colorado and paid attention to everything, except that they don't have a heater and I really need it in the mountains, unfortunately. Blanket.

      No heater, which is identical to my Ford Ranger pickup.
      When driving in the evenings / night, it sometimes falls heavily against.

        My humble Honda Freed does have heating, hardly ever use it.
        Think it depends on whether you have an air conditioner or a climate control, with which you can set the temperature, in contrast to the simpler air conditioner where you have to regulate the temperature with a dial.

      As for the Chevrolet Colorado, I think it depends on the version, my Colorado is equipped with a climate control and if necessary it gives heat,

    I have a heat pump in my house in the Netherlands that works its heat into the ground and extracts the heat again in the winter. The whole house is 22 degrees all year round, even when it is 35 degrees outside and in winter when it freezes very much. but our house is heated and cooled with underfloor heating. Really delicious and in terms of cost, I now pay about 35 euros per month for electricity, no gas, but with 12 zone panels. But don't know if such a pump also works in Thailand. The pumps that give their residual heat to the air seem to make a bit more noise.

    I bought a Mitsubishi for our home in Phrae, Inverter, heatpump for I believe 48,000THB a few years ago. Really works perfectly, one of the best purchases I've made.

    That sounds good, Kalebath, but what type of heat pump do you have in the Netherlands?
