Heat Pump Electricity Consumption

What drives a heat pump's electricity use, and why we do not quote a fixed saving figure.

01

The variables

Hot water volume used, cold inlet temperature, stored set-point, ambient temperature, insulation quality, standing losses and the condition of the unit. Change any one and consumption changes.

02

Why fixed savings claims are unreliable

A percentage saving quoted without knowing your demand, your set-point and your existing system's condition is guesswork. We would rather assess your property and explain the expected behaviour honestly.

03

What you can control

Set-point discipline, fixing dripping hot taps, insulating pipework, sensible scheduling and keeping the unit serviced all measurably reduce consumption.

Next step

If you want this assessed on your own property, call 069 268 0988. We inspect, explain what we find, and quote in writing.

Have it looked at properly.
