An evaporator coil extracts warmth from the air inside, and transfers it out into your kitchen through the condenser coil in the back. The same things happens with your heat pump.

For decades high-wall heat pumps have dominated the market in New Zealand. But as manufacturers continue to innovate, there are now more options to choose from.
