What to expect from a heat pump • Since heat pumps provide a lower temperature heating compared with boilers, radiators will be warm rather than hot. larger or fan assisted radiators may be needed although under floor heating is the best. • A house with radiators may heat up more slowly. • The heat pump will run for longer hours than a conventional boiler but if properly controlled will switch on and off with the heating requirements of the house. • A properly sized and installed heat pump should be able to provide all of a household’s domestic hot water, but many systems are installed with a supplemental electric immersion heater for the colder months.
Getting the best performance from a heat pump • Ensure your home is insulated as well as possible (for example with cavity wall and loft insulation) before the heat pump is installed. • Install the heat pump with low-temperature under-floor heating or properly sized radiators. • Insist on understandable, user-friendly controls.
