- Will my Logic Air heat pump work in winter?
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.
- How much do heat pumps cost?
The cost of your heat pump can vary based on factors such as type, size and more. However, the cost of your heat pump can be reduced by up to £7,500 if you are eligible for the UK’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
