Small heat pump ‘whispers’ in big performance
The choice in heat pumps for larger homes has been further expanded with the new LA MAS range of air source heat pumps, from Dimplex. The new design gives a considerably smaller footprint than previous options. This is said to allow greater freedom over location and system design, as well as reduced visual impact.
In fact homeowners the best of both worlds as it can be used either as the sole heating source for a property, or in ‘bivalent’ mode in combination with an existing conventional heating system to reduce bills and cut CO2 emissions.
The units are quiet in use thanks to its innovative ‘owl’s wing’ fan blades. In addition, the air intake is downward slanted to deflect any noise emissions, giving a sound level of just 33 decibels at 10m – that’s barely a whisper.
Two outputs are available – 11kW and 16kW – and with variable heating water flow temperatures from 35°C to 55°C, weather compensated, the range is suitable for use with underfloor heating or Dimplex SmartRad fan convector radiators, as well as to produce domestic hot water.
Designed for improved efficiency and ease of use, the LA MAS range claims an energy efficient auto adaptive defrost cycle, and also includes electronic soft start to reduce starting current loads. A wall mounted WPM heat pump manager control is also supplied. Manufactured in the UK for the UK climate, is has corrosion-resistant stainless steel inner frame and powder coated outer housings.

The smaller the better heat pumps are good for specifiers. But are they also cheaper?
