Common Myths About Air Source Heat Pumps
Introduction
There are still plenty of myths surrounding Air Source Heat Pumps, and it’s understandable why some homeowners are unsure whether they’re the right choice.
At Lifetime Savings, we answer these questions every day. Here are some of the most common misconceptions we hear and the facts behind them.
1. “They Don’t Keep Homes Warm”
This is probably the biggest myth.
A correctly designed and professionally installed Air Source Heat Pump is designed to keep your home comfortable throughout the year, even during colder weather.
The key is making sure the system is properly matched to your property.
2. “They’re Only Suitable for New Homes”
Not true.
Many existing homes, including older properties, can benefit from an Air Source Heat Pump. A professional survey will determine whether your home is suitable and whether any improvements could help maximise efficiency.
