Will a Heat Pump work in the cold Scottish winters

Date added: Fri 20 Oct 2023


As the days grow colder and winter approaches, it's time to ensure your home remains warm and energy-efficient. With 17 years’ experience in renewables, we offer bespoke heat pump design solutions that are guaranteed to work year-round in Scotland.  That’s why we partner with Daikin Heat Pumps—the industry-leaders in renewable energy—for outstanding performance in cold weather, so you can say farewell to the winter chill and those high gas bills!

Every home is different, that’s why it’s important that your Heat Pump system is designed individually for your home and family – trust us for expert advice.  Daikin Heat Pumps, when designed, sized and installed correctly for your home and radiators, guarantee comfort and warmth all year long!

 

So, how does it work?

1. Absorbing Heat: Just like a sponge soaks up water, the heat pump pulls warmth from the outside air, even when it's cold.  Even on the coldest of days, the Daikin Altherma H HT will operate down to temperatures as low as  -25⁰C, making the system suitable across the range of external temperatures we experience in Scotland.

2. Boosting Heat: It then boosts this captured heat, making it much hotter, using a special trick called compression.

3. Heating Your Home: This hot air is used to warm up water, which is then circulated through your home's heating system, providing you with toasty rooms and hot water for your daily needs.

 

Benefits:

1. Energy Efficiency: It uses less electricity to produce more heat, saving you money on energy bills.

2. Eco-Friendly: It's environmentally friendly because it doesn’t burn fossil fuels, reducing your carbon footprint.

3. Year-Round Comfort: Works in winter, summer, and everything in between, keeping you comfortable in all seasons.

4. Versatility: Not just for heating your home but also for your hot water needs, making it a versatile solution.

5. Quiet and Reliable: Operates quietly and is dependable, ensuring your home stays warm without disruptions.
