In the cold winter, home heating should be comfortable and energy efficient, which has become the focus of attention for many families. Air-source heat pumps, with their high efficiency and energy-saving features, have become the choice of more and more people. So, how can you save more on your electricity bill with a heat pump? Here are 8 practical tips to help you warm up and save money in winter!

1. Set a reasonable indoor temperature

Keeping the indoor temperature at 18℃-22℃ is the ideal range.

When you are active during the daytime: keep the temperature at a suitable level for comfort and energy saving.

When sleeping at night: lower the temperature by 1-2℃, which does not affect comfort and saves electricity.

2. Reasonable adjustment of water temperature

Select the appropriate water temperature according to the heating equipment paired with the heat pump:

Floor heating system: water temperature is recommended to be set at 40℃-45℃.

Fan coil: the suitable water temperature is 45℃-50℃.

Avoid high water temperatures to reduce the high-load operation of the equipment.

3. Utilizing low-trough electricity operation

Reasonable use of nighttime electricity prices in the low valley hours:

Arrange for the heat pump to run during the low valley hours to heat and store hot water for the hot water tank.

Use the stored hot water during the day, thus reducing the cost of peak electricity consumption.

4. Regular maintenance of equipment

Good equipment condition ensures operational efficiency:

Clean the external heat exchanger: Remove dust and debris regularly to prevent reduced cooling efficiency.

Check the pipes and pumps: clean out the scale to avoid clogging that can cause performance degradation.

5. Improve the insulation of the house

Reducing indoor heat loss is the key to energy efficiency:

Ensure windows and doors are well sealed.

Use insulation (e.g. curtains, door strips, or double glazing) to reduce heat loss.

6. Changing habits

Timer function: schedule your heating according to your daily routine to avoid running the appliance all day long.

Turn off the heating outlets in empty rooms to avoid unnecessary energy consumption.

7. Matching with other energy sources

Combine with solar energy system: make full use of natural energy to further reduce electricity costs.

In extremely cold weather, auxiliary heating equipment can be equipped to reduce the burden on the heat pump.

8. Avoid frequent switching

Frequent switching on and off of the heat pump will lead to an increase in the load of the compressor and more power consumption. It is recommended to keep the equipment running stably to achieve the best energy-saving effect.
