Heat pumps come with many advantages. First of all, they’re efficient. In addition, they work as heaters and air conditioners. You can use a heat pump system during every season of the year, and the long-term energy savings can make a big difference in your budget.
Taking Advantage of Heat Already Present
Traditional heaters have to burn fuel or consume a lot of electricity in order to make heat. In contrast, a heat pump doesn’t have to generate heat. Instead, the refrigerant that runs through its piping system can absorb heat from the environment. In some heat pump systems, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the air outside a home, and in others, it may absorb heat from a nearby water source or from under the ground. These systems are called air-source, water-source, and ground-source heat pumps, respectively. Ground-source heat pumps are also known as geothermal heat pumps.
In some situations, a geothermal heat pump is considered ideal because the ground temperature is incredibly stable throughout the year. As a result, the geothermal energy advantages are quite high. Heat is readily absorbed in the winter, and the system won’t have to use that much energy to do its job well. That said, air-source and water-source units can also be very effective. The refrigerant in these systems can get extremely cold, so they are ready to absorb heat from their surroundings, no matter what they might be.
Other Benefits
Once a heat pump has been installed, it will likely run well with relatively little maintenance. Heat pumps are long-lasting and don’t produce any exhaust, and they can be safer to use than systems that burn fuel to generate heat.
