What factors Affect the Cost of Replacing an Air Source Heat Pump?
2025-11-22
If your air source heat pump is no longer functional, how much will it cost to replace it?
1. Brand and size
A larger home or an air source heat pump from a well-known brand may drive up the cost.
2. Local climate
Extreme weather may require a more powerful (and expensive) air source heat pump system.
3. Installation complexity
If your ductwork is outdated, you may have to pay extra for repairs or upgrades.
4. Long-term savings
While new air source heat pumps are expensive, improving the efficiency rating may lower your monthly bills.
5. Collect quotes
Every home is different. Be sure to consult with at least two or three local contractors to make sure the price is right for you.

Several Things to do Before Turning on the Air Source Heat Pump in Winter
2025-11-15
Cold Dew is coming, and the temperature drops sharply. Some cities in the north have started heating, and in the north, a considerable number of families have already used air source heat pumps. However, no matter how eager you are to turn on the air source heat pump, you must do a good job of inspection in advance.
The air source heat pump has stopped working for several consecutive months. If the heat pump is not well maintained, the system will inevitably have some minor problems. It is necessary to carry out relevant maintenance in time, which will greatly improve the energy-saving efficiency and service life of the heat pump and reduce the failure rate. Otherwise, it is easy to cause problems for winter heating.
1. Check whether the power switch and the wiring of the equipment are loose, and the wiring should be firm; whether the power cord and the controller signal line are aging or damaged, if so, please replace them in time.
2. When there are things blocking the air source heat pump, it is easy to affect the heat absorption and heat dissipation of the machine, thereby increasing power consumption. Therefore, the area around the air source heat pump should be kept clean and dry, with good ventilation. Do not pile up debris on the top cover and around the air source heat pump to keep the machine in good working condition.
3. Check the water system of the heat pump equipment, check whether the water valve switch position is correct, whether water needs to be replenished, whether the water pressure is normal, whether the air in the pipeline is drained, whether there are any leaks, etc. If there is a serious leak, you should contact a professional for repair in time.
4. The air source heat pump also needs to be cleaned regularly, otherwise the deposited dust and scale will not only reduce the thermal efficiency but also shorten the service life. In order to avoid affecting the heat pump, it is necessary to clean the outdoor unit heat exchanger (1-2 times a year) and condenser regularly. Use tap water and a soft brush to clean the surface of the external unit casing. Pay attention to the water pressure and direction, and do not let water flow into the external unit electronic control part. When cleaning, the soft brush needs to be brushed along the direction of the fins to avoid damaging the fins.
Final summary
It is recommended that you keep the above maintenance methods for future use. Only by properly and reasonably maintaining the air source heat pump can you effectively extend the service life of the air source heat pump, reduce losses, ensure the safe operation of the air source heat pump, and be responsible for the health and safety of yourself and your family!

Why is there Noise During Defrost of Air Source Heat Pump?
2025-11-07
A common question is: Is it normal for heat pump noise when air source heat pump is defrosted?
If your air source heat pump makes a loud noise in cold weather, it may just be entering or exiting the defrost cycle - this is normal for winter conditions.
In cold climates, the defrost cycle of an air source heat pump reverses the system to melt the frost. This can cause:
1. Valve shifting sound
2. Fan pause or rotation
3. Compressor restart
These changes can cause the air source heat pump to make noise temporarily, not malfunction.

Which one Consumes more Electricity, Cooling or Heating, of an Air Source Heat Pump?
2025-11-01
In general, air source heat pump cooling consumes more electricity than heating. This is because the cooling process requires the transfer of heat energy from a low temperature environment (indoors) to a high temperature environment (outdoors), and this heat transfer process usually requires additional energy consumption.
In air source heat pump cooling, the working principle of the heat pump system is to recirculate the working fluid to achieve the purpose of heat exchange. The refrigerant absorbs indoor heat, then compresses it to increase the temperature, and finally releases the heat to the outdoor air. This process consumes electricity to drive the compressor and other auxiliary equipment, as well as to maintain the normal operation of the refrigerant in the cycle.
In air source heat pump heating, the working principle of the heat pump system is to supply the indoor heat energy demand by absorbing heat from the outdoor air. Since the outdoor temperature is generally low and the heat required is low, the energy consumption in the heating process will be relatively low compared to the cooling process.
However, the specific energy consumption will also be affected by many factors, including climate conditions, indoor temperature, equipment performance and many other factors. Therefore, the energy consumption of air source heat pumps is different in different environments, and the energy efficiency should be evaluated and compared in combination with the specific equipment characteristics and application environment.

Future Trends in Air Source Heat Pumps
2025-10-25
The technology behind commercial air source heat pumps is evolving rapidly. Several trends are likely to impact the future of these systems:
1. Higher temperature models
Newer air source heat pump models can now produce water up to 80°C (176°F), making them suitable for more demanding applications.
2. Smarter controls
IoT-enabled systems for air source heat pumps enable real-time performance monitoring, remote diagnostics, and integration with building energy management systems (BEMS).
3. Natural refrigerants
There is growing interest in using low-GWP refrigerants, such as CO2 or hydrocarbons, to make systems more environmentally friendly.
4. Hybrid systems
Combining an air source heat pump with a gas boiler or solar collector can provide the highest efficiency and adaptability.
