Introduction
Heat pumps are becoming increasingly popular in Ireland as a clean, efficient, and future-ready alternative to traditional heating systems. But with new technology comes confusion. At Acond.ie, we often hear myths that prevent homeowners from making the switch — so we’re here to set the record straight.
Myth 1: Heat Pumps Don’t Work in Cold Weather
✅ Fact: Modern heat pumps, especially those engineered in Europe, are designed to perform efficiently even in colder climates like Ireland’s. Our systems at Acond.ie are built for year-round reliability, even in freezing temperatures.
Myth 2: They’re Too Expensive to Install
✅ Fact: While the initial cost may be higher than a gas boiler, heat pumps offer significant long-term savings on energy bills. Plus, there are government grants available that help reduce upfront costs — making them more accessible than ever.
Myth 3: Heat Pumps Are Noisy
✅ Fact: Technology has come a long way. Our units are among the quietest in the market, running so smoothly you’ll barely notice they’re on.
Myth 4: You Need Underfloor Heating
✅ Fact: While underfloor heating is ideal, it’s not essential. Heat pumps can work effectively with standard radiators, especially when the system is properly designed and sized — something we specialise in at Acond.ie.
Myth 5: They’re Only for New Homes
✅ Fact: Heat pumps can be installed in both new and older homes, with the right planning. We’ve helped countless Irish homeowners upgrade their heating systems in existing properties — improving efficiency and comfort.
Final Thoughts
Switching to a heat pump is a smart, eco-friendly investment. Don’t let outdated information keep you from experiencing cleaner, quieter, and more efficient heating.
