Does air-source heat pump also provide cooling? We explain how it works in summer

When we think of a heat pump, we automatically associate it with heating and domestic hot water in winter. However, more and more people are discovering one of its major advantages: it can also be a highly efficient solution for cooling the home during the hottest months of the year.

With rising temperatures and electricity prices, finding a way to cool the home whilst using less energy has become a necessity. And this is where air-source heat pumps make all the difference.

Can a heat pump cool a home in summer?

The answer is YES. Air-source heat pumps not only provide heating in winter, but are also capable of providing cooling in summer thanks to their reversible operation.

This means that the system can extract heat from inside the home and expel it outside, creating a cool and comfortable ambient whilst consuming far less energy than other traditional air-conditioning systems.

Nowadays, many modern facilities use air-source heat pumps for:

Why does an air-source heat pump use less energy in summer?

One of the main advantages of a heat pump is its high energy efficiency.

Whilst traditional systems convert electricity into cooling or heating, air-source heat pump systems harness the energy present in the outside air to heat or cool the home. This allows for greater efficiency whilst using less electricity.

In short, a heat pump can generate several times more thermal energy than it consumes in electricity. This means:

Savings

Air-source heat pumps help to reduce the amount of your electricity bill.

Stability

Maintain an optimal temperature in your home all year round.

Sustainability

It harnesses renewable energy from the air and reduces CO₂ emissions.

How much can you save by using air-source heat pumps in summer?

The savings will depend on a number of factors, such as: the home’s insulation, the climate zone, the operating temperature, the type of system and usage patterns.

However, many homes manage to significantly reduce their energy consumption compared with conventional heating and cooling systems. Furthermore, as this is a high-efficiency system, the investment can be recouped through the energy savings achieved throughout the year.

Tips for improving cooling efficiency in summer

To get the most out of your heat pump during the hottest months, here are some tips for you:

Improving insulation

Good insulation prevents energy loss and significantly improves the system’s performance.

Carry out regular maintenance

Keeping filters, circuits and components in good condition ensures that the equipment operates at maximum efficiency.

Use smart control

Solutions featuring remote monitoring and control enable the optimisation of timetables, temperatures and energy consumption.

Maintain a stable temperature

There is no need to turn the heating down too much. Keeping the house between 24°C and 26°C is usually sufficient.

All in one air-source heat pump systems

Efitherma is a manufacturer of heat pumps that offer maximum performance, efficiency and comfort in all types of installations.

Among their solutions, they develop heat pumps capable of integrating the following into a single system: domestic hot water, ventilation, air conditioning, hybrid systems and retrofit solutions. These heat pumps help to optimise space, simplify installations and improve the overall energy efficiency of the home or building.

As manufacturers, they tailor their products to the actual needs of each customer and each project. Consequently, in addition to standard solutions, they manufacture bespoke heat pumps based on specific requirements regarding installation, performance or integration. To this end, they have an R&D&I team focused on advanced technological solutions capable of delivering maximum energy savings, efficiency and control.

Technology and smart control

One of Efitherma’s key distinguishing features is its smart control and monitoring ecosystem.

Via it’s thermostat (TST Control Display) and its remote control app (EFI SmartAPP), users, installers and technical support teams can access advanced system management from anywhere.
