By using an air source heat pump, I was able to significantly reduce the electricity cost of running my hot tub by up to 66%. Here, I’ll break down my personal experience, the numbers, and the savings you can expect from switching.

An air source heat pump is a magical invention. It’s a far more efficient way to get your hot tub to the right temperature. In my own case, it saved me as much as 60% in energy costs. Given the right circumstances, it can be a rewarding investment. 

Installing an air source heat pump could be confusing, but I am here to help you out with a step-by-step guide.

Here’s a recent example of one of my clients, Chris, who connected with me via email, and we went through the process of installing an air source heat pump together with a few interesting discoveries along the way.

In my latest video, which you can find below, I take a look at how noisy an Air Source Heat Pump really is. There’s a lot of conflicting information out there about this, so I wanted to set the record straight.
According to the Energy Saving Trust, air source heat pumps are generally considered to be quieter than traditional heating systems. In fact, they typically produce around 40-45 decibels of sound, which is about the same level as a refrigerator. However, it’s important to note that the noise level can vary depending on the specific model of heat pump, as well as how it’s installed. So, is this the case with my own ASHP?
In the video, I measure the noise level of a popular air source heat pump model (Comfortline which I have on my own tub) at different outputs and temperatures. I also discuss some of the factors that can affect the noise level of an air source heat pump, such as the location of the outdoor unit and the type of property.

There is certainly a lot of confusion around Air Source Heat Pumps and which model we should select for our Hot Tubs and Pools. Everyone under the sun seems to be selling a model now and more and more brands are popping up every day. I’ll be honest, I’ve never heard of most of the ones I get asked about!

I’ve tried on my website to keep the range that I offer for sale to a minimum. Minimum being that I offer a model or range to suite everyone and everyone’s budget or requirements.

In this blog post, I will take a look at the difference between the Onda range of Air Source Heat Pumps and the Comfortline Range.

There are quite a few hot tubs out there that run on a single pump. If you have a 13A hot tub then this is going to be you. The dual speed pump controls the filtration as well as the jets. However, with the cost of electricity prices rising, you may be looking to reduce your bills with the use of an Air Source Heat Pump.

However, if you are not sure whether you can use an Air Source Heat Pump with a dual speed hot tub pump then read on – I will let you into a secret – YOU CAN!

Is my Hot Tub Compatible with An Air Source Heat pump?
Yes, your hot tub will be compatible with an air source heat pump. The compatibility, however, may be a little different to what you were originally thinking.

In this article, I will explain exactly why.

Whilst a little unwelcome in general this cold snap, it has provided a certain opportunity. The uncharacteristically cold weather has provided a prime opportunity to do some real-world testing with my Air Source Heat Pump in sub zero conditions.
