Will my heat pump always be on and working all year round?
Yes, your heat pump runs year-round to keep your home warm and water hot efficiently. It adjusts based on the weather, using less energy in warmer months.
For many UK homeowners, it may seem strange not to turn their heating system off, especially when we're so accustomed to traditional boilers. However, a heat pump is designed to always be on.
A heat pump will always heat enough water for your home’s taps and showers and maintain a cosy temperature inside your home. However, on warmer days, particularly in the summer, your home may require little to no heating. This approach is more efficient because it allows the heat pump to maintain a steady, cosy temperature without the energy spikes that come from repeatedly turning the system on and off.
