Heat Pump Energy Efficiency Tips

7/11/2018

 
​It’s important to understand how energy-saving features in heat pumps and ducted systems work so you can be most-efficient when using them. Despite all the additional features and extras, our heat pumps are only as smart as we are. We’ve got to know how to use them properly to make them as energy efficient and cost effective as possible. So let’s take a look at some tips to get the most out of our heat pumps.
Picture

Heat Pump Timers

​It’s best to use your heat pumps at only certain hours of the day unless you have people at home for the whole twenty-four hours. The timer allows you to set at which time the heat pump turns on and off automatically. Some heat pumps and ducted systems include 7-day timers so you can set it to run at different times for each day. We recommend to have it turned on just an hour before you arrive so you are welcomed to a comfortable home.

Heat Pump Fan Speed

​No one likes a blast of hot air to the face. Unless you’re wanting to heat up a cold room quickly, keep your heat pump’s fan at a lower speed. It will do the job without feeling like you’ve stepped in front of a Canterbury Nor’Wester.

It’s a different story in Summer when you switch your heat pump to air conditioning. While cooling on a lower fan setting, some of your heat pump’s energy is diverted into dehumidifying the air. A little dehumidifying is good. A lot can leave you waking up in the middle of the night absolutely parched. Using a higher fan speed when air conditioning will make sure your heat pump spends more power on cooling instead of just drying you out.

Regular Heat Pump Maintenance

​Regularly cleaning the filters and having it serviced during right intervals will help your heat pumps operate at optimum efficiency. In order to protect your heat pump’s warranty, we strongly recommend professional servicing every twelve months, but if you’re heat pump is already five years or older, then it should be serviced more frequently.  Regular servicing will increase its efficiency up to forty percent because it won’t have to work as hard to keep your home cool or warm. 

Insulation

​Having a well-insulated home can help you keep your home at a comfortable temperature. While most of us know that insulating your home will keep you warm in winter, did you know proper insulation will also help keep your home cool in summer? 

Stopping up the cracks and gaps around your Christchurch home will make it easier for you to stay at a comfortable temperature all year round.

Temperature

It’s a common mistake during winter season to turn the temperature immediately to 27°C - 28°C. It takes a lot of energy and won’t actually heat your home any faster. We recommend keeping it at 18°C - 21°C. It might be a lower temperature, but it’s easier to maintain in the long run.

If you want to keep your home cool on the other hand, try closing the curtains and blinds earlier in the day to offer shady spots to keep cool.
