COST OF HEAT PUMP:
Anchor 1

Heat Pumps should be considered an asset as they add value to your home, however they're not a cheap item, so choosing the right Heat Pump and installer is an important job. The price of a new Heat Pump involves a number of factors, such as the size/model of unit, and the amount of labour required. 

​

The cheapest option is a back to back install, however this option isn't always available, depending on the layout of your home.

It's critical that when you're approaching various businesses for quotes on Heat Pumps, you understand the different brands they're offering

FILTER CLEANING

Anchor 3

Caring for your Heat Pump is more important than most realise. If it isn’t cared for properly, it can lead to decreased performance, lower energy efficiency, poorer air quality and a shorter life-span. Cleaning your Heat Pump filters only takes a few minutes and should be done every 2-4 weeks during use.

To clean your filters, open the front cover of your Heat Pump and slide the filters out. You can then either use a vacuum cleaner or soapy water and a brush to remove all the dust. Dry and replace the filters and secure the front cover.
