Unmasking the Scariest Myths About the Heating of the Future
At ThermoAqua, we know that October is the month of scares, pumpkins, and spooky stories.
But did you know that some of the biggest frights don’t come from ghosts — they come from the myths about heat pumps?
Today, we invite you to play a little game of “Trick or Treat” and discover what’s true and what’s just a myth about this clean, efficient, and sustainable technology that’s revolutionizing the way we heat and cool our homes.
👻 Trick 1: “Heat pumps don’t work when it’s cold”
False!
Modern heat pumps work efficiently even at sub-zero temperatures.
Thanks to technological advancements, they maintain their performance even in cold climates, without the need for backup systems.
Treat: With the right setup, your home will stay long while you keep saving energy.
🕸️ Trick 2: “Heat pumps are only for heating”
Wrong!
A heat pump is a 3-in-1 solution: it heats in winter, provides domestic hot water all year round, and refresh in summer.
Treat: One single system for all your home’s thermal needs = less energy use, more comfort.
🦇 Trick 3: “Heat pumps aren’t eco-friendly”
Nothing could be further from the truth!
Heat pumps draw up to 75% of their energy from the air, reducing CO₂ emissions significantly.
Treat: Combine them with solar power and your home can be almost 100% sustainable.
🧛 Trick 4: “Heat pumps are noisy”
A spooky myth with no real basis!
Modern systems are so quiet you’ll probably hear a ghost before you hear the outdoor unit running.
Treat: They typically produce only 30–40 dB, about as quiet as a calm conversation.
🪄 Trick 5: “Heat pumps only work in new homes”
False!
Heat pumps can also be installed in existing homes, adapting easily to the current heating system.
Treat: They can work with radiators, underfloor heating, or fan coils — no major renovations needed.
🕸️ Trick 6: “Heat pumps need a lot of maintenance”
As false as a cardboard ghost!
Unlike traditional boilers, heat pumps require very little maintenance.
Treat: A simple yearly check-up is enough to ensure top performance and a long lifespan.
🦉 Trick 7: “Heat pumps can’t be combined with other systems”
A common misconception!
Heat pumps integrate perfectly with solar panels or even hybrid heating systems.
Treat: Combining renewable energies maximizes your savings and reduces your carbon footprint even further. 🌍
In Summary
This Halloween, don’t let the myths about heat pumps scare you more than a haunted house!
The real horror is still paying monstrous energy bills with old systems that should have been laid to rest long ago.
At ThermoAqua, we help you take the step toward a more efficient, eco-friendly, and comfortable home.
