Nordic countries have a long history of using air-to-air heat pumps, often combined with fireplaces or electrical heaters. However, harsh winters and extremely low temperatures pose challenges, as efficiency drops and additional heat sources are often needed.
Fluctuating energy prices, environmental concerns and performance in extreme cold are key factors when choosing air-to-air heat pumps. Nordic homes, typically equipped with one indoor unit, face issues with even heat distribution and subsequent comfort. Robustness, strong performance, and aesthetic integration are essential, as these heat pumps often run 24/7 from autumn to late spring.
Midea introduced Raynor – built for the North – a product tailored to Nordic conditions. Its name, meaning ‘Wise Warrior’, reflects its powerful heating capabilities and smart features that maximise comfort while saving energy. The Nordic focused air-to-air heat pump was awarded the ‘Excellent Heating Technology Innovation Gold Award’ at IFA 2025.
Raynor delivers reliable heating even at -40°C, with full heating performance at -25°C. Its maximum heating capacity of 8kW, ensures that a single indoor unit can heat most Nordic homes. With an A+++ energy efficiency rating and a SCOP of 5.1, Raynor ranks among the most efficient air-to-air heat pumps. Its AI based ECOMASTER function reduces energy consumption by over 30%.
