A portable heat pump is a portable HVAC unit equipped to provide cooling, heating, and dehumidification solutions. It’s well-suited for large-capacity spaces like for industrial buildings, but a portable heat pump can also be used to heat or cool a specific space within a building due to its easy-to-move nature. From cost to function, these units have several benefits:

• Cost Efficiency: The amount of heat a portable pump produces is more than the amount of electricity it uses, leaving you spending less for a higher return.
• Easy Maintenance: With fewer moving parts than furnaces or boilers, portable heat pumps are easy to use, clean, troubleshoot, and maintain. 
• Environmentally Friendly: Minimizing carbon emissions, portable heat pumps are an environmentally-friendly alternative to fossil fuel-powered systems.
• Multipurpose Abilities: Many portable heat pumps can be used for multiple HVAC needs, including heating, cooling, and dehumidification.
• Safe and User Friendly: Heat pumps are safer than standard electric heaters or propane/gas heaters, which can be a burn hazard to employees if touched directly.

Is a Portable Heat Pump Right for Your Business?

Portable heat pumps are great units to have on hand, whether it’s needed for emergency, temporary, or supplemental applications in commercial spaces – saving you time, productivity, and money. Since portable heat pumps provide a three-in-one benefit of cooling, heating, and dehumidification, these units are ideal for someone looking for a multifunctional, year-round solution for all weather and indoor climate control conditions. These units are also designed to be portable and user-friendly, mounted on wheels and simple to maintain.

As you’d expect, portable heat pumps have wide-ranging applications across different industries and building types. With their flexibility and cost-saving benefits, the units can be used in the following settings: 

• Healthcare facilities: Hospitals, clinics, and long-term healthcare facilities rely on heat pumps to precisely regulate temperature and humidity in critical areas like operating rooms, patient wards, and therapy centers.
• Offices: Both small office buildings and large corporate campuses utilize heat pumps for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning of individual offices, conference rooms, and common areas. 
• Warehouses and Manufacturing Plants: Heat pumps can provide warehouses and plants temperature and humidity control capabilities, ensuring consistent product and inventory storage conditions. 
• Retail Stores: Vast portable spaces like supermarkets, department stores, and shopping malls require heat pumps to save money and maintain consistent temperatures.
• Schools: Heat pumps can provide energy-efficient climate control for classrooms, gymnasiums, auditoriums, and other large school spaces. The unit’s zoning capabilities are well-suited to meet schedule-based occupancy needs.

To Rent or To Own Portable Heat Pumps?

Property owners or managers must decide whether to rent portable heat pumps on a short-term basis or purchase units for long-term ownership when in need of reliable solutions. 

If you’re looking to have flexibility for temporary or seasonal needs without breaking the bank on upfront costs, renting may be the best option for you. Rentals can be easily returned as needs change and most rental companies are responsible for costs associated with ongoing  maintenance. For those who have infrequent needs or extremely limited space, renting portable heat pumps can be a more affordable option.

On the other hand, ownership offers full control over unit selection and customization through add-on equipment ensuring your portable heat pump perfectly meets your unique requirements. If you’re looking for a long-term or permanent solution, purchasing a portable heat pump eliminates the cost of recurring rental fees, providing more savings in energy and operations. And should your unit be well-maintained, it could be resold when no longer needed.
