6 reasons for switching to an A-rated pump now

The Danish Technological Institute estimates that up to 800,000 single family homes have pumps installed which use far too much power. There are many good reasons to switch.

  1. An A-rated pump can save a family EUR 27-107 per year.
  2. A-rated pumps use about a sixth of the power typically consumed by older circulator pumps.
  3. A-rated pumps automatically adjust their output to suit a home’s variable heating demands, compared with ordinary pumps which run continually at full speed.
  4. A-rated pumps have a service life of 10-15 years.
  5. A-rated pumps can minimise the noise in a central heating system.
  6. Saving electricity reduces your carbon footprint. If all Danish households installed an A-rated pump, Denmark would save around 200,000 tons of CO2 per year – equivalent to 1% of total Danish emissions.
