As with all domestic heating systems, running costs will always be greater during the winter months when the outside temperatures are colder and, as your heat pump operates by electricity, you will naturally see an increase in power consumption, especially if you have replaced a gas or an oil boiler.
The reason for this is because during the winter months, the outdoor temperatures are lower and in turn the heat loss from your home will be greater, meaning that your heat pump will need to work harder than it does during the other seasons of the year in order to maintain a comfortable living temperature within your home. With your heat pump operating for longer, compared to in the warmer months, you will notice you use more electricity during the winter.
