Are Heat Pumps Noisy? What You Need to Know For anyone considering a heat pump installation, one common question comes up often: “Are heat pumps noisy?” This is a fair question, as nobody wants their heating system to disrupt the peace of their home or business. At Busy Energy, we understand the importance of comfort—and that includes keeping noise levels to a minimum.
Here’s what you need to know about noise levels from modern air source heat pumps and how they compare to other systems.
What Causes Noise in Heat Pumps?
Heat pumps work by extracting heat from outside air and moving it indoors. During this process, fans and compressors produce a certain level of sound. However, the technology behind heat pumps has advanced significantly, and most modern units are designed with noise-reducing features that make them much quieter than older systems.
How Loud Are Modern Heat Pumps?
The noise levels of today’s heat pumps are relatively low, often comparable to a refrigerator’s hum. In general, most units have noise levels ranging from 40 to 60 decibels, making them unobtrusive and unlikely to disturb everyday activities. In fact, you’re likely to notice less noise from a heat pump than from many other types of heating systems.
Outdoor vs. Indoor Noise
Heat pumps consist of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. Most of the sound comes from the outdoor unit, and if the system is installed properly, you shouldn’t notice much noise indoors at all. Our team at Busy Energy ensures that every installation is done with precision to minimise any potential noise impact.
Noise-Reducing Options and Placement
For those who are sensitive to sound, we offer various noise-reducing models. In addition, strategic placement of the outdoor unit can make a big difference in sound levels. By positioning the unit in a less-used part of your property, such as along an exterior wall away from living spaces, any sound will be even less noticeable.
