There are a few myths about heat pumps, most stemming from their early development back in the 1970’s, and James Walton of Auckland, New Zealand does a great job of putting a lot of these fallacies to rest.
- Turning the thermostat lower cools the room quicker
- Turning the thermostat to it’s highest setting will heat your room faster
- Heat pumps are only for heating
- Heat pumps are only effective in milder climates
- Heat pumps are expensive to run
- Heat pumps can only be installed in new houses
- You should run your heat pump 24 hours a day
