The heat pump is a heating and cooling system that is based on the most sustainable principle of operation: instead of generating heat by consuming energy, it pumps (hence the name “pump”) the heat that already exists in the environment and transfers it to in our space.
Air-to-water heat pumps are currently the most widespread means of heating and cooling worldwide, with uses covering all sizes and types of buildings, whether for homes or large business premises.
How does the Heat Pump work?
The air-to-water heat pump receives the thermal energy that exists in the outdoor environment and brings it into our space, heating the indoor air, as well as the water used.
It consumes minimal electricity and only during the heat pumping phase. In fact, out of the total heat generated, only 25% is attributed to electricity. This means that 75% of the heat generated by the heat pump comes entirely from the thermal energy extracted from the environment, which is a completely free, renewable and clean energy source. In this way, heat pumps manage to be the most economical heating system available.
8 important reasons to choose Heat Pumps
It is the most cost-efficient heating solution: according to a study of the National Technical University of Athens “Comparison of heating costs by various technologies”, heat pumps offer economy: 33% of pellets, 44% of closed energy fireplace, 38-45% of natural gas, 61% of oil and 71% of electric boilers.- Their acquisition cost can be supported by various financial aid programs for buildings energy upgrading, since heat pumps are environmentally friendly, classified as renewable energy sources and do not emit any pollutants.
- They can be connected to the existing plumbing radiator system and can easily replace any boiler.
- They do not require a special boiler room or chimney.
- They have the lowest maintenance costs compared to any integrated heating-cooling system.
- They offer very economical hot water while some heat pumps can be combined with an existing solar panel.
- They work in heating and cooling even during the most extreme weather conditions.
- The amortization of their initial investment is immediate as the savings resulting from their usage are extremely large.
