Save Energy this Summer with an Air Conditioning Heat Pump

Heat pumps do a great job of keeping the home warm in the winter, but what about keeping things cool? Simply flick the switch and you have an air conditioning system that is cost and energy efficient, versatile, ascetically non offensive and quiet.

A heat pump will remove hot air and humidity from your home leaving you with a healthier environment and a great temperature. Heat pumps work like a fridge in the way that they recycle warm air and regulate the temperature to a desirable range.

You can save energy this summer by giving your heat pump a helping hand;

  • Keep your heat pump filters clean and clear to maximize energy output
  • Never put things in front of your heat pump, this restricts the air flow and reduces the effect of cooling
  • Ensure you give your heat pump plenty of time to do its job, cooling gradually rather than rapidly will save energy use
  • Use the timer on your heat pump to allow for gradual cooling
  • When using your heat pump keep windows and doors closed

All of these tips will ensure your heat pump is working at its best and saving you money this summer.
