3 COMMON MYTHS ABOUT AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS DEBUNKED

While an air-source heat pump is one of the most energy-efficient heating solutions you can choose for your home, understandably, there can be a few apprehensions about choosing something different to the norm. If you are considering an air-source heat pump for your home but have been put off by some myths and misconceptions, then keep on reading for the 3 common myths about air-source heat pumps – debunked!

1. AN AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP IS TOO NOISY

One of the biggest misconceptions about air-source heat pumps is that they are much noisier than other heating solutions, however, in actual fact, an air source is no louder than a fridge. To put it into context, the maximum output of an air source heat pump is between 42-45dB which is about 5dB than the average conversation at home. So if noise has been a concern of yours, don’t worry because this is a common misconception that is simply not true!

2. AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS INCREASE HEATING BILLS

Air source heat pumps are actually one of the most affordable and cost-effective heating solutions that you can choose. Most home heating systems either burn fuel or convert electricity into heat but heat pumps are different because they don’t generate heat. Instead, they move existing heat energy from outside into your home. This makes them more efficient since they deliver more heat energy than the electrical energy they consume. So a heat-pump system can cost less to run than a traditional fossil fuel heating system.

3. AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS ARE NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH TO HEAT MY HOME IN WINTER

A well-designed air source heat pump will be able to keep your home warm all winter long. A high-quality system will ensure that you have the correct requirements for the size of home typical to the area and should avoid unnecessarily oversized units which cost more to run and reduce efficiency.
