Autumn: The Perfect Time to Install an Air Source Heat Pump

An air source heat pump is a heating that transfers heat from the outside air into your home – similar to the way a fridge works but in reverse. Heat is extracted from the outside environment and transferred indoors to warm up your home, even when it’s way below freezing.

Autumn offers a unique window of opportunity for heat pump installations, providing a comfortable working environment for installers and buyers potentially securing a more favourable deal.

The milder temperatures of autumn, compared to the heat of the summer months or the biting winter cold of December and January, create ideal conditions for heat pump installation. This enables the installers to work efficiently without the constraints of extreme weather, leading to smoother processes and faster completion times. The absence of excessive heat or cold allows for optimal performance of the installation equipment and prevents any adverse effects on the system itself.

September, October, and going into November are particularly advantageous months for heat pump installation due to a significant reduction in demand. As the peak heating season approaches in the colder winter months, interest in heat pumps tends to surge, often resulting in longer wait times for installation. By opting to install your heat pump during the autumn months, you can potentially avoid these delays and enjoy a more timely installation.

In addition to shorter wait times, fitting your air source heat pump in autumn may also present an opportunity to secure a more affordable price. As demand for heat pumps grows during the peak heating season, prices may rise to accommodate the increased interest. By installing your air source heat pump during this time, you may be able to negotiate a better deal and potentially save money on your investment.

Lastly, installing a heat pump before the coldest months begin allows you to familiarise yourself with how it works and to optimise its efficiency, ensuring you gain the maximum benefits of your new air source heat pump throughout the winter. All of our materials are backed by manufacturer warranties for your peace of mind.

Some factors that are helpful to consider when thinking about installing a heat pump include; the local climate, insulation & air tightness. However, at Dragon Renewable Energy we will always carry out a site survey to ensure your home is prepared to maximise the efficiency of a heat pump.
