WHAT MAKES AN ENERGY STAR® DUCTED HEAT PUMPS BETTER?
Some ducted heat pumps struggle to perform between 0°C and 5°C, when they’re more prone to icing-up. A correctly sized and installed ENERGY STAR qualified ducted heat pump is tested to perform efficiently at 2°C.
They're energy efficient in both heating and cooling modes.
Because they’re more efficient, an ENERGY STAR ducted heat pump system typically saves around $80 a year on running costs compared to non-qualified models.
HOT TIPS FOR DUCTED HEAT PUMPS
Get your insulation, curtains and draft-proofing sorted first, your home will be easier and cheaper to heat.
Get a system that is sized and designed correctly for your house.
Good installation is fundamental to how well a ducted heat pump performs – make sure you choose an experienced installer.
Using your heat pump timer will help you save energy. Programme it to turn on 15 minutes before you get up in the morning or before you get home at night.
Clean your filters before each season – it makes a huge difference to how efficiently a heat pump runs and how effectively it heats your house!
ENERGY STAR products offer the same great performance and features, but their running costs are lower: good for your wallet and good for the environment.
