What is Air Source Heat Pump Cascade Systems?
As the demand for efficient and eco-friendly heating solutions grows, air source heat pumps have emerged as a reliable alternative for residential and commercial spaces.
If you’re concerned about the impact of the heat pump on your electricity bill, the table below shows the total cost of operating the heat pump during the winter. The winter heat pump operating costs depend on various factors – some related to the size and condition of your house, some related to the efficiency of the model you’ve purchased, and some related to the geographical location and the way you use the heat pump. Here is an estimated cost breakdown assuming the heat pump is 4-star rated and the electricity cost is 26 cents per kilowatt-hour for 6 months of the year.
Costs below $183 mean daily costs are less than $1.
Heat Pump Output | 6 months x 3 Hours daily | 6 months x 6 Hours daily | 6 months x 9 Hours daily |
2.5 kW | $54.99 | $109.98 | $164.97 |
3.5 kW | $76.99 | $153.97 | $230.96 |
4.5 kW | $98.98 | $197.97 | $296.95 |
5.5kW | $120.98 | $241.96 | $362.94 |
6.0kW | $142.98 | $285.95 | $428.93 |
The actual operating costs of a heat pump at home vary depending on many factors, including:
In New Zealand’s temperate climate conditions, almost all heat pumps are reverse cycle, meaning they can both heat and cool. However, New Zealanders tend to open windows rather than using air conditioning.
The challenge comes at night when mosquitoes are active; opening windows for ventilation might not be wise.
Using the heat pump to cool down on hot and humid nights and using it in the bedroom to aid sleep can be appealing and not too costly. Similar to heating, operating costs depend on various factors including house size, condition, orientation, insulation, and the efficiency of the purchased model. Here is the cost breakdown for cooling, assuming a 4-star rated heat pump and an electricity cost of 26 euro cents per kilowatt-hour for 4 months of the year. Any price below $121 means daily costs are less than $1.
