The difference between these two types of heat pumps lies in how they supply the energy required from the heat pump to fulfill the heating requirements of a property.

A fixed output heat pump functions by unceasingly either being turned on or tuned off. When turned on, a fixed output heat pump runs at 100 percent ability to fulfil your heating requirement. It’ll continue to do this until the heat demand is fulfilled.

However, an inverter heat pump employs an adjustable speed compressor which curbs its output by increasing or reducing its speed to match exactly the heat needs of the property as the outdoor air temperature changes.

When the heat demand is lower the heat
