Five benefits of switching to a new heat pump
Have you moved to a house with an older heat pump and are thinking about switching to a newer version? Here, we list five benefits of today's heat pumps compared to older models of heat pumps.
Here are the main reasons to invest in a new heat pump:
1. More efficient
As heat pumps have grown in popularity, technological developments have been rapid.
Modern heat pumps are extremely energy-efficient and have high SCOP figures. For example, the heat pump manufacturer CTC has increased its SCOP figure (also referred to as annual heating factor) on the latest series of EcoAir 600M air-to-water heat pumps by up to 16 percent compared to the previous model.
The operating cost is very low and the heat pump will help you to save money for many years to come.

2. Smarter
A modern heat pump is easy to operate and has many smart functions — for example, it can be monitored via your mobile phone. It gives you the opportunity to turn off the heat pump when you are away, and you can also lower or raise the heat if you are at work.
If something is wrong, you will immediately get an alarm on your mobile phone. Often, you can sort out such issues yourself. However, if a technician needs to look at your equipment, this can be done remotely via a computer system in many cases, instead of having to arrange a home visit.

3. More flexible
Modern heat pumps are flexible and can be used together with other energy sources — for example, you can combine a ground source heat pump with a photovoltaic system. A perfect combination for those who want to reduce their energy costs while making a contribution to the climate.
4. Quieter
Modern heat pumps are quieter than their predecessors. This is partly because the technology for soundproofing the compressor and cooling components has been developed.
5. Variable speed control
Speed control means that the heat pump regulates the energy output automatically according to the house's needs. Speed control is also called inverter control or frequency control. On older models, there is an on and off button.
Tip: If you want to replace your ground source heat pump with a new one, we recommend you get two quotes. One for the cost if you can use the same borehole as before, and one that calculates the cost of additional drilling.
So what does a new heat pump cost?
CTC has a wide range of pumps that cost between SEK 50,000 and 90,000, including VAT and excluding installation. The cost depends entirely on your and the house's needs. Get help from your local CTC Partner to make an appropriate energy calculation, then you get maximum energy at the lowest price.
A modern heat pump is easy to manage via your mobile phone. It gives you the opportunity to switch off the heat pump when you are away, and you can also lower or raise the heat while you are at work.
