Proper functioning of your Heat Pump will not only make your home energy efficient but will also help you save money. Following the steps below, while using heat pumps will surely keep your home warm and cozy, even on the coldest winter nights, and will also reduce your winter electricity bills.

Make Sure the Filters Are Clean

Clean both the inside and outside filters of your heat pump regularly. This is one of the most effective ways to improve the efficiency of your heat pump or heating systems. Clean filters also improve the air quality inside your home.

Turn Off, When Not Using It

Having your heat pump running all the time at maximum capacity will only waste energy. Heat pumps are designed to run for a longer duration, but it will cause your energy bills to go up. Therefore, turn your heat pump off when you aren’t using it.

Use a Timer to Switch the Pump On

Set a timer to turn the heat pump on 15 minutes before you plan on being in the room. This gives it enough time to warm up and start heating the room without wasting the energy required to keep it at a constant temperature. Heat pumps don’t have to run all the time to be effective. Run it only when you need it for maximum efficiency.

Keep Doors and Curtains Closed

Keeping your doors closed will prevent any drafts, and will keep the heat in. If you have a window that receives direct sunlight, leaving the curtains open while the sun is shining will help to warm up the room. Otherwise, keep your curtains and doors shut.

Get Professional Heat Pump Maintenance

Having your heat pump inspected once a year by a professional heating repair service company is a good idea. It can help reduce the cost of repair bills if you catch small problems early on and also give you peace of mind.
