Heat Pumps

Heat pump - the most ecological way of heating

A heat pump is one of the most effective and at the same time most ecological methods of heating domestic hot water and heating buildings. Installing a heat pump has become a popular option as a result of concern for the natural environment and rising prices of coal, gas or heating oil. This installation will certainly allow for low operating costs and increase the comfort of using the building.

Types of heat pumps

Ground source heat pumps

If you want to install a heat pump, you have a few different options to choose from. The first type is a ground-source heat pump . When you install one in your home, you use the heat source that the ground offers. Heating with a heat pump of this type is very efficient. It is a popular solution among new installations.

Air source heat pumps

The second type is air heat pumps , also known as air-to-water heat pumps. An air-to-water heat pump uses the air outside the building. Installing a heat pump of this type does not require a large initial investment.

There are also air-source heat pumps for domestic water, which transport heat from the outside to domestic water tanks.

Another type of heat pump is the air-to-air heat pump. Its mechanism is based on obtaining warm air from the outside air and transporting it inside. Very often, these are air conditioners with a built-in air-to-air heat pump used for both heating and cooling rooms. The air heat pump is considered the most efficient and ecological way to heat a home.

It is worth adding that air heat pumps can also be divided into monoblock and split pumps. Importantly, monoblock pumps do not require F-Gas qualifications for installation.

Heat Pumps – Water and Hybrid

Among the popular types of heat pumps, it is also worth mentioning water pumps (water-to-water). In this case, the device uses water taken from a water tank or from a well drilled specifically for the heat pump. Although the principle of operation of this type of heat pump seems simple and is characterized by high energy efficiency, it is more expensive to install, and therefore less popular in single-family buildings. However, it can be the main source of home heating.

Another type is hybrid heat pumps . This is a combination of an air heat pump with a gas boiler. The advantage of this solution is the use of two heat sources controlled by one central controller that decides on the use of a more economical or efficient heat source in given conditions.
