Should I turn off my air source heat pump in the summer?

Air source heat pumps work best when they are allowed to control themselves in an "uninterrupted" way. You need your ASHP on in the summer to still have hot water. 

 

Holiday modes are best used for when the home is unoccupied. These ensure your heat pump continues to work at a low level, preventing it from seizing up without wasting energy in the process.
