Get more out of your heat pump and save on heating
2 h€ 50 Calm
A few smart adjustments and your heat pump runs more efficiently, your home becomes more comfortable, and your bills go down.
A heat pump is only as efficient as you let it be. A lot of gain comes from small things you do yourself. Set your thermostat to an energy-saving mode and only heat when needed, optionally with a smart thermostat that learns your habits. Keep the filters clean, because dirty filters significantly reduce efficiency; clean or replace them every one to three months.
Also make sure there is free airflow around the indoor and outdoor units, with at least sixty centimetres of space around the outdoor unit and no furniture or branches in the way. Schedule an annual professional inspection so a technician can check for leaks, malfunctions, and refrigerant levels before they become problems. And adjust your settings with the seasons: more heating in winter, cooling in summer. Together, these steps lead to lower costs, more comfort, and a pump that lasts longer.
