Key Factors to Consider When Setting Up Air Source Heat Pumps for Large Properties

1. Accurate Sizing & Capacity

One key factor you certainly don’t want to overlook when setting up your ASHP system is “accurate sizing”. For optimal performance, you need to accurately size the air source heat pump to accommodate your property’s heating and cooling needs.

As you already know, your large property has higher energy demands. Using an undersized system for your space may not give you the desired temperatures. It could also lead to wear and inefficiency of the system. Furthermore, having an oversized system can lead to higher energy consumption and short cycling.

But how do you understand the accurate ASHP sizing to choose for your space? Here’s where the need to work with experienced professionals, such as SóGeo, comes in. These experts will evaluate your property to understand its size, layout, and installation levels. This analysis will help our experts make proper load calculations usings our engineering heat load analysis tools and choose a system that provides consistent performance even in extreme weather conditions. 

2. Proper insulation 

If you want to enjoy efficient heating and cooling in your home, you certainly need adequate insulation. Installation of air source heat pumps can be very tricky with large properties. This is so because they have vast spaces, expansive windows, and higher ceilings. Without proper insulation, the ASHP system will likely work harder to maintain your desired indoor temperature. Hard work will increase your energy consumption and utility bills.

Experts at SóGeo can handle your home’s installation regardless of the property size. They’ll assess the property’s insulation levels. If not adequate, they’ll make recommendations to correct the inefficiencies and prepare the property for an energy efficient installation.

3. Zoning & temperature control 

Large properties mean multiple rooms. Interestingly, each room has its unique temperature requirements as they may be shaded or in direct sunlight. In this case, you may want to divide the property into separate areas for easy installation—here’s where the need for a zoning system comes in. This approach allows you to direct energy towards the most important areas in your space.

With SóGeo, you can always expect a modern air source heat pump. This system is highly compatible with zoning technology. It also works with smart thermostats for precise temperature control and excellent energy savings.

4. Maintenance

Air source heat pumps in large properties tend to work harder. To ensure the system continues to run optimally for a longer period, regular maintenance is key. Cleaning the filters and inspecting the ducts from time to time works. However, for better results, we recommend working with a trustworthy service provider like SóGeo 

5. Energy efficiency

ASHP systems are highly efficient for both heating and cooling. However, to keep your system at optimal performance, you need to choose a system with:

• High COP rating
• Keymark certified
• EHPA certified 
• Electrical certified.

Experts at SóGeo can help you choose systems that meet the above-mentioned requirements. These systems will reduce energy consumption and cut utility bills.
