At the top of the list of questions frequently being asked about Heat Pump systems is regarding their efficiency. With a good quality heat pump system you can expect a Coefficient of Performance of around 4 which means that efficiency is good. Another regularly asked question about heat pumps is whether the technology is reliable enough. The answer to this is that heat pumps have been used with great success for many years in many countries. The technology has proven itself to be efficient, safe and reliable.
I have grouped together several of the most commonly asked questions together. These are all regarding the size of heat pumps and whether they are noisy in operation. A heat pump unit being used in a domestic setting will take up the same space as a fridge-freezer. Heat Pump systems give off very little noise. Infact you can expect noise levels to be no more than that given off by your kitchen fridge.
A frequently asked question by a lot of people interested in acquiring a heat pump system is whether the system could link up to their exisiting radiator network and hot water system. Heat Pumps systems can indeed be linked up with most existing hot water and radiator systems. Before going ahead though, please do check out whether your exiting radiators could be replaced by more eco-friendly underground heating system. When considering investing in a heat pump system for your home please take into account both whether your heating insulation is adequate and also the efficiency of your existing radiator system. Are they as efficient as they can be? If not you may be wasting your money with a new heat pumps system.
Another popular question concerns the installation of a heat pump system into a property and whether it should be done by a professional heat pump installer or if it could be done by you. Yes it is possible to save some money in the installation process by doing some of the manual ground and digging work yourself, but it really is sound advice to leave installation of the heat pump unit and other operating components to the professionals. This way you are covered if anything goes wrong with the equipment.
