How to Make Air Source Heat Pumps More Energy Efficient?

Air source heat pump water heaters have many advantages, and these advantages can play an important role in environmental protection. Most consumers do not know much about air source heat pumps because they have little knowledge of the advantages of the air source technology. Does an air source heat pump save more money and electricity? How to use air source heat pumps in a more energy-saving way? This article will provide some tips and tricks. 

Select the Right Size of Air Source Water Heaters

Compared with other types of water heaters, air to water heat pumps save more money in the whole operating process. However, if not properly used, their advantages might be diminished. 

In fact, in order to make an air source water heater more energy-saving, first of all, you should pay attention to the size. Each application environment is different, so is the number of people using the water heater(s). You must choose the right air to water heat pump according to your own situation. If you are selecting a heat pump for domestic hot water and the population in the family is relatively small, then you can choose a small household air source heat pump. If you are selecting water heaters for a hotel, you can choose commercial air to water heat pumps so as to meet the daily use of hot water, which will also maximize energy savings.

Choose the Best Location to Install an Air Source Heat Pump

The installation of an air source water heater also has a certain connection with the later efficiency performance. Especially when used in different locations, their energy efficiency advantages are also different. Usually it is better to install the heat pumps in some semi-closed positions like balconies. The balcony position can make sure the unit is able to fully contact the air and well absorb the heat from the air so that the air source heat pump provides heating faster and more stable.

Choosing an Air to Water Heat Pump with Better Materials

In fact, whether an air source water heater is more energy-saving in use has a great relationship with the materials of the water itself. If the materials or components are not of high quality, its thermal insulation performance would not be very superior. Even if it can quickly complete the heating of hot water, its thermal insulation performance is relatively poor. This will affect the performance of the air to water heat pump, and also leads to more power consumption. In fact, air source heat pump units are very energy-efficient in design. Even under 24 hours of uninterrupted work, their power consumption is still very small.
