WeHeat Flint vs. Sparrow vs. Blackbird
Comparison Flint, Sparrow, and Blackbird
Weheat offers various heat pumps with various properties. The Blackbird has the most power, for example. Which model suits you best, depends on your wishes and gas consumption. In this article, we'll tell you more about the similarities and differences of Weheat heat pumps.
Savings on gas consumption
For small families
The Weheat Flint heat pump is the smallest heat pump. This heat pump is suitable for you when you consume about 1000m3 gas per year. That means this model is suitable for small households. This allows you to quickly save on your gas bill, even when you have a small house or apartment. You can extend the heat pump to be fully electric later.
For medium-sized families
The outdoor unit of the Sparrow heat pump is a bit larger than that of the Flint. As a result, the model has more power. This means the heat pump is suitable for you if you use about 1000 to 1500m3 gas per year. During cold winters, this heat pump can easily keep small to medium-sized houses warm. We can also easily expand this model to be fully electric, if you want to completely stop using gas now or in the future.
For large families
With the Blackbird heat pump, you get the most power out of these 3 heat pumps. You can easily heat or cool large houses, even when it's cold for a long time. Your boiler doesn't turn on as often, so you save a lot on your gas consumption. The heat pump is also suitable to be fully electric. That's useful when you want to stop using gas now or later.
Placement
Flint or Sparrow: on the facade or in the garden
The Flint and Sparrow are ideal for on the facade or in the front or backyard. That's useful if you don't have a flat roof. The noise level of the Flint is a bit higher than that of the Sparrow, but both models won't bother you with loud noises.
Blackbird: on the flat roof of a house, extension, or carport
We place the Weheat Blackbird on a flat roof of your house, or an extension or carport. Thanks to the flat design, you'll barely see this model when you look up. The outdoor unit is large, but the heat pump doesn't make much noise. This means you barely hear that the heat pump is on.
Expand to fully electric
Flint: can't be expanded
The Flint heat pump is a hybrid heat pump that works with your central heating boiler. This boiler helps out if you use a lot of warm water or if it's cold outside. You can't expand this heat pump to be fully electric with a boiler or buffer tank. This mean you'll still use gas and have to maintain your central heating boiler.
Sparrow or Blackbird: can be expanded
The Sparrow and Blackbird are both heat pumps you buy as hybrid or fully electric. You can choose if you want to stop using gas now or later. If you don't have a boiler, you're no longer dependent on changing gas prices. You also only pay maintenance costs for your heat pump. Want to know if your house is ready for electric heating?
