Air source heat pump efficiency: what installers can control

Efficiency conversations go wrong when survey quality is weak and assumptions are hidden.

Big drivers of ASHP efficiency

  • Emitter sizing aligned to room-level losses.
  • Design flow temperatures based on actual building evidence.
  • Clear identification of high-loss rooms and constraints.
  • Accurate handoff into design and commissioning workflow.

Fast way to lose efficiency on paper

  • Assuming envelope quality without documenting evidence.
  • Carrying old radiator assumptions into new loads.
  • Skipping the survey details that create callback loops.
