What is the ideal room temperature for heating?

The optimum temperature for living rooms is between 20 and 21 degrees Celsius. Kitchens can be kept slightly cooler at 18 to 19 degrees as they benefit from heat generated by appliances. Bedrooms are comfortable at 18 to 19 degrees, which also promotes better sleep. It is recommended never to let your home fall below 14 degrees Celsius to prevent damp and mould issues.

What is a combi boiler?

A combi (combination) boiler provides both central heating and instant hot water from a single compact unit, without needing a separate hot water cylinder. It heats water directly from the mains when you turn on a tap. Combi boilers are ideal for smaller homes with one bathroom, while larger properties with multiple bathrooms may benefit from a system boiler with a hot water cylinder.

How do I use my heat pump efficiently?

Heat pumps work best when maintaining a consistent temperature rather than making frequent adjustments. Avoid lowering the temperature at night, as this increases energy consumption when the system works to reheat your home. Use smart thermostat controls to set your desired temperature and let the system maintain it automatically.

How long do heat pumps last?

With proper maintenance, a well-installed heat pump typically lasts around 20 to 25 years. The longevity of heat pumps can help offset higher initial installation costs compared to traditional boilers. Regular professional servicing helps ensure your heat pump maintains its efficiency and reaches its full lifespan.

Do heat pumps use a lot of electricity?

Heat pumps use electricity, but because of their high efficiency, they produce more heat energy than they consume in electricity. For an average home requiring 12,000 kWh of heat annually, a heat pump with a CoP of 3 would use approximately 4,000 kWh of electricity. Combining a heat pump with solar panels can reduce running costs by up to 40 per cent.
