Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are an efficient and eco-friendly way to heat your home, but to maximise their benefits, it’s important to use them correctly. Here are some expert tips to ensure your system runs at its best.
1. Keep It Running Efficiently
Unlike traditional boilers, which heat up quickly, ASHPs work best when they run consistently at a lower temperature. Adjust your thermostat settings to maintain a steady indoor climate.
2. Optimise Your Insulation
Good insulation helps retain heat, making your ASHP work more efficiently. Check that your walls, roof, and floors are well insulated to prevent heat loss.
3. Use It with Underfloor Heating
Air source heat pumps work exceptionally well with underfloor heating because they operate at lower temperatures, providing a consistent and comfortable warmth throughout your home.
4. Regularly Clean the Outdoor Unit
Since ASHPs extract heat from the outside air, the outdoor unit needs to stay clear of leaves, debris, and snow to maintain proper airflow. Clean it regularly to keep it running efficiently.
5. Set a Timer for Maximum Savings
Using a smart thermostat or timer can help manage heating schedules, ensuring that your home stays warm when needed without wasting energy.
6. Take Advantage of Government Grants
If you’re considering an air source heat pump, don’t forget about the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant! We can help you apply and install your system hassle-free.
