There's always a lot of myths surrounded around heat pumps, so we thought we would clarify a few of them. Throughout this blog, we will dive into a few heat pump myths and explain why they are a common misconception.
INCORRECT 'Heat pumps only work with underfloor heating.'
This is incorrect! Heat pumps work really well with radiators, too. However, in some cases, the radiators may need upgrading.
INCORRECT 'Heat Pumps don't work in existing buildings.'
It is surprising with how many people think that heat pumps only work in new homes. However, many households of all ages have been fitted with heat pumps.
'INCORRECT' Heat pumps don't work in the cold'
A common criticism is that many think that heat pumps don't work in the cold. Air to water heat pumps will work in terrible conditions, as low as -25 degrees. Ground source heat pumps are also ideal in the winter months, because the ground will retain the heat.
'INCORRECT Heat pumps will need a backup heating system'
This is one of the most incorrect heat pump myths. Most people tend to think that they will need a second heating system for their home, but this is incorrect. Most people have no backup heating and soley rely on their heat pump to provide hot water and heating.
'INCORRECT Heat pumps are noisy'
This is another myth that a lot of people tend to believe. Heat pumps do cause a small amount of noise just like anything, but they are not noisy. It all depends on the location and proximity factors.
