Things to know about Air Source Heat Pumps
Heat pumps works differently than a boiler or furnace. If you want to minimize your energy use and maximize your comfort, here’s a few tips on what not to do.
- A heat pump measures ambient room temperature differently than other heating systems. Set your heat pump to a comfortable temperature, then adjust the setting up or down over the course of a few days until you’ve reached the temperature number that feels right to you.
2. Don't… touch it everyday.
You may have lowered the temperature on your old heating system when you went to work or over night. A heat pump is different. It reaches peak efficiency by maintaining a set temperature. Find the right setting, then leave it alone and let it work.
3. Don’t use "AUTO" mode.
It’s natural to think "AUTO" mode would be a more efficient setting. But if you use it, your unit runs the risk of toggling unnecessarily between heating and cooling. Your heat pump will run most efficiently when set to "HEAT" in winter and "COOL" in summer.
