Energy Efficiency Tips
Best Practice
The below points are best practice guidelines. Following these will ensure your unit runs at it’s
maximum efficiency, saving you money whilst maintaining a comfortable and healthy home.
•
When setting your thermostats ensure they are set at a minimum of 18°C. This will avoid the
heatpump bringing on the backup heater in colder weather due to low return water temperatures.
•
Each degree you turn your thermostats down by can save you up to 6% on your heating bills.
•
Best practice for cost‐effective electricity bills is to leave heatpump timed for constant on and
controlled by thermostats so house temperature is constantly kept in a steady state.
•
Whilst night rate electricity is cheaper than day rate electricity running your heatpump on night rate
will reduce it’s efficiency due to lower ambient air temperatures at night time. The reduced efficiency
may well offset and savings in the rate of electricity.
•
Boosting the hot water will make use of the electrical immersions in the heat pump, this will increase
the running costs of the system if used frequently. The hot water schedule has been programmed
during commissioning for all day comfort and efficiency in a family home. Hence, boosting of hot
water should be a rare occurrence.
Further Points
The temperature displayed on the controller is the required flow temperature of the water in your
system, it is not the temperature of the room. The room temperature is displayed on the stats only.
