What It Costs Heat Pumps

摘要

Heat pumps are an increasingly popular way to provide heating in domestic and commercial building. The Code for Sustainable Homes advocates their use, as they significantly reduce carbon emissions. On the other hand, they have higher capital costs and lower output temperatures than gas boilers. Heat pumps work best in well insulated buildings in which demand is low. The noise they make may be an issue for some users.rnThe components of a ground-source heat pump system are a pipe in the ground (the ground loop), a heat pump and a distribution system. In heating mode the pump takes air of a relatively low temperature from the ground loop, concentrates the heat and passes it to the distribution system.
