10 Places To Find Heat Pump Technology
Energy Efficient Heat Pump Technology
When they are powered by clean electricity (as generated by solar, wind or an alternative source of gas that is cleaner) heat pumps can cut down on the carbon emissions of heating homes by around 75 percent.
Today, advances in refrigerant gases and other components mean that the new models are more efficient. They're also getting smaller and sleeker, blending more seamlessly into the home.
Energy Efficiency
They are more efficient than electric resistance furnaces and other furnaces because they use the ambient heat in the air to warm homes instead of burning fuel. Their efficiency in energy is measured by the coefficient of performance, or COP. A high COP means that one unit of electricity can produce multiple kilowatt hours of heat. Today...
