Heat pumps are considered to be an environmentally friendly heating solution. This is due to them absorbing heat from renewable energy sources such as air, ground, or water, and being powered by electricity, which itself can be provided by renewable power sources. 

This means they reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions associated with heating social housing properties.

Heat pumps work in both warm and cold temperatures.  Modern models have advanced technology which is designed to ensure they operate effectively even in very cold conditions.

Heat pumps rely on heat from the outside air, so you may be concerned that they will not work in winter. However, the refrigerant liquid in your heat pump is so sensitive that even the tiniest traces of heat in the air can boil it. 

You can understand how well your heat pump will work in different seasons by looking at the SCOP, or the seasonal coefficient of performance, which takes into account how seasonal changes affect the efficiency of your heat pump. 

See our guide to heat pumps in winter and cold weather to learn more.
