Heat pumps have to be given an achievable temperature or they freeze up and cost a fortune to run, therefore setting the heatpump on high temperatures such as 25 or 30 degrees is counterproductive. Heat pumps are used to heat rooms, but not the entire house. The best way to use your heatpump is set it at a low temperature such as and leave it going 24/7.

If the tenant fails to pay the rent, a guarantor will take joint responsibility. Guarantors are responsible for paying rent arrears or damages that exceed the deposit.
