Heat pumps are designed for efficiency, but many homeowners wonder whether it’s better to run them continuously or cycle them on and off. The answer depends on your climate, insulation, and—most importantly—the advanced features of your heat pump. Here’s what you need to know, with insights from Nulite’s smart heating solutions.

To Run or Not to Run? The Expert Breakdown

1. The Case for Continuous Operation

 • Better Efficiency in Moderate Climates

   - Heat pumps work most efficiently when maintaining a steady temperature.

   - Frequent starts/stops force the compressor to work harder, increasing energy use.

   - Nulite’s Inverter Technology adjusts output smoothly, avoiding power spikes.

 •  Ideal for Well-Insulated Homes

   - If your home retains heat well (low heat loss), a constant low setting saves energy.

   - Nulite’s WiFi Thermostat learns your home’s thermal behavior for optimized runtime.

 •  Prevents Pipes from Freezing (Cold Climates)

   - Keeping the system on at a low setting avoids emergency reheating after shutdowns.

   - Nulite Arctic Series includes Frost Protection Mode for worry-free operation.

2. When to Adjust or Turn Off

 •  Extreme Weather Considerations

   - Below -15°C (5°F), some older heat pumps lose efficiency—but Nulite’s EVI models run optimally down to -25°C.

   - During heatwaves, use Nulite’s Smart Schedule to precool at night (when electricity is cheaper).

 •  Vacation or Extended Absence

   - Set to Eco Mode (12–14°C) to save energy while preventing mold or freezing.
