In Egypt’s evolving energy landscape, homeowners and developers are seeking sustainable solutions that combine comfort, efficiency, and long-term value. At Dafa Egypt, we specialize in delivering high-performance air source heat pump systems — but not just for air conditioning. Our focus is on hydronic systems, where heat pumps work with water-based heating solutions to provide central heating, domestic hot water, and pool heating.

We’ll explain how heat pumps work, explore different types, and highlight why air-to-water heat pumps paired with hydronic distribution are the ideal modern solution for Egyptian homes, villas, and facilities.

What Is a Heat Pump?


A heat pump is an energy-efficient system that moves heat rather than generates it. During winter, it extracts heat from the air (even when it’s cold outside) and transfers it indoors. In summer, the system reverses to cool the space.

Unlike traditional heating systems that burn fuel (like gas boilers), heat pumps rely on electricity and refrigerants to transfer thermal energy. This makes them far more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly.


The Refrigeration Cycle: How Heat Pumps Work


The basic components include:

  • Evaporator – Absorbs heat from the outside air.
  • Compressor – Increases pressure and temperature of the refrigerant.
  • Condenser – Releases heat into the water (used for central heating or hot water).
  • Expansion Valve – Resets pressure and allows the cycle to repeat.

In hydronic systems, this heat is transferred not into air, but into water, which is then circulated through radiators, underfloor piping, or water tanks.


Type of Heat Pumps We Use at Dafa Egypt


There are several types of heat pumps based on their source of energy:


🔸 Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)


  • Extract heat from the ambient air.
  • Cost-effective and suitable for most climates.
  • Quick installation and minimal land disruption.
  • Used by Dafa Egypt for residential and commercial projects.


At Dafa Egypt, we use air source heat pumps because they provide the best balance of performance, reliability, and affordability in Egypt’s climate. Modern air source heat pumps can operate efficiently even in cooler weather, making them suitable for year-round use across the country.


Hydronic Applications of Heat Pumps at Dafa Egypt


Our air source heat pump systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with hydronic distribution systems — that is, systems that use water as the medium to deliver heating or hot water.


1. Central Heating


Heat pumps are ideal for radiators or underfloor heating systems. Instead of using gas or diesel, the pump transfers heat into water, which then flows through pipes to warm every room evenly.

  • Comfortable and consistent heat
  • Silent operation
  • Energy bills reduced significantly
  • Compatible with both modern and renovated homes


2. Domestic Hot Water (DHW)


Our systems are designed to supply hot water efficiently to your kitchen, bathrooms, and utility areas. Heat pumps can be connected to hot water cylinders and offer:

  • Continuous hot water supply
  • Lower electricity bills
  • Reduced reliance on electric heaters or gas boilers
  • Safe and eco-friendly heating method


3. Swimming Pool Heating


Want to enjoy your pool year-round? Our air source heat pumps can maintain a stable, comfortable pool temperature with incredible efficiency — even during the cooler months.

  • Gentle, constant water temperature
  • Lower operating costs compared to electric or gas heaters
  • Smart controls for temperature scheduling
