Myths Debunked
Common Myths About Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are a great energy-efficient option for heating and cooling, but several misconceptions prevent homeowners from taking full advantage. Here are the top 5 myths debunked:
Myth 1: Heat Pumps Don’t Work in Cold Weather
As heat pumps extract heat from the environment, it can be easy to assume that they will not work well in cold weather. However, modern heat pumps operate efficiently even in subzero temperatures. Many heat pumps come with features such as a back-up electric element to accommodate for factors such as weather.
Myth 2: Heat Pumps Are Too Expensive to Run
Heat pumps are up to three times more efficient than traditional water heaters such as gas. Using electricity to extract and transfer heat, households are able to cut down on their gas usage which in turn reduces their energy bills.
In addition, government rebates like the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program helps eligible households receive discounts and rebates to reduce installation costs.
Myth 3: Heat Pumps Only Provide Heating
Heat pumps are able to provide both heating and cooling by reversing the refrigeration cycle.
Myth 4: Heat Pumps Require Constant Maintenance
As is with all technology, heat pumps will work most efficiently for a long time with regular maintenance. A few ways you can make sure your heat pump is running well is by: ensuring the surroundings of the heat pump is well ventilated, checking for unusual sounds and monitoring your electricity bills for spikes in electricity usage (as it could potentially mean that your heat pump is not working efficiently). Which leads us to the next myth:
Myth 5: Heat Pumps Are Noisy
With proper care, heat pumps last 15 to 20 years. Heat pumps are reliable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective for heating and cooling. By understanding the facts, homeowners can enjoy lower energy bills and improved comfort.
