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
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
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
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
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
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 Don’t let outdated information keep you from experiencing cleaner, quieter, and more efficient heating.
