The Problem No One Talks About
Your heat pump is a marvel of engineering. It can deliver multiple units of heat for every unit of electricity it consumes. It's the most efficient heating technology we have. Yet most of them are running at a fraction of their potential.
Why? Because we're controlling 21st-century technology with 20th-century thinking.
The On/Off Catastrophe
Here's what happens when you control a heat pump like a traditional boiler:
- Your thermostat hits the target temperature and switches off
- The heat pump stops dead
- Your home starts cooling
- The thermostat panics and fires everything back up
- Repeat, forever
This cycling is murder on efficiency. It's like driving a car by alternating between full throttle and full brake. Your fuel economy would be terrible – and that's exactly what's happening to your heating bills.
Heat Pumps Want to Whisper, Not Shout
Modern heat pumps are designed to run continuously, modulating their output to match your home's exact needs. They want to purr along at partial capacity, keeping your home at a perfect, steady temperature. Instead, we force them to blast at 100%, stop, cool down, then blast again.
The result?
- Higher bills
- Uncomfortable temperature swings
- Premature wear on expensive equipment
- Disappointed homeowners who expected better
The 24/7 Revolution
Here's the counterintuitive truth: running your heat pump continuously often costs less than running it intermittently with on/off control.
When a heat pump runs continuously at low power, it operates at peak efficiency. The cost is so low that you can afford to keep your entire home warm all the time. No more cold mornings. No more heating up rooms before you use them. Just consistent, affordable comfort.
And there's a beautiful side effect – continuous warmth keeps your building dry and healthy. No more condensation. No more damp. No more mold. Your centuries-old listed building? It'll thank you.
Why Existing Controls Fail
Traditional thermostat manufacturers don't understand heat pumps. They've taken their boiler controls and added a "heat pump mode" – which usually just means longer on/off cycles. It's like putting a saddle on a car and calling it transport innovation.
Smart home systems aren't much better. They're built for the mass market, which means gas boilers. Their heat pump support is an afterthought, not a core feature.
Enter Warm Energy
We're not building another thermostat. We're building a heat pump optimization system.
Our controller understands: - Weather compensation (adjusting flow temperature based on outside conditions) - Load prediction (knowing when you'll need heat before you do) - Thermal mass (how quickly your building gains and loses heat) - Efficiency curves (the sweet spots where your heat pump performs best)
We speak heat pump fluently, not as a second language.
The First True Heat Pump Controller
Warm Energy is the first controller designed from the ground up for heat pumps. We're not adapting old ideas – we're starting fresh with how heat pumps actually work.
We're building the control system heat pumps deserve. Starting with Samsung SmartThings integration and expanding to more manufacturers, we're creating a future where every heat pump maximizes its incredible efficiency instead of fighting against it.
Join the Revolution
If you're tired of your heat pump cycling on and off... If you're disappointed by your running costs... If you believe heating technology deserves better...
Join us.
We're building the future of home heating control. Not because it's easy, but because millions of heat pumps are being installed with controls that cripple them.
Every badly controlled heat pump is a missed opportunity in our fight against climate change. Every unnecessary cycle is money wasted and carbon emitted.
We can do better. We must do better.
And with Warm Energy, we will.
