Due to the steadily rising gas and oil prices, the purchase of a heat pump advisable. Their work is based on a few simple, ecological principles. A heat pump consists for the most part of a heat source system, a distribution and storage system and a pump. With the help of a refrigerant, which can be used regardless of the type of pump, the heat from the outside is well received and discharged to the inside of the house again. By the pressure of heat pump a pleasant temperature is generated in all living spaces. This procedure can also be applied to the drinking water and the poolbe used. Depending on which heat pump system is used, up to 50% of the energy and heating costs can be saved. Compared to other systems offers heat pump many advantages.

Advantages of heat pumps

A heat pump has a long shelf life. Many of these heat sources guarantee a service life of up to 50 years. The initial cost of a heat pump has already paid off for a few years. In addition, there is the advantage that the pump can be used even further as an energy source by subsequent generations due to its long service life. A big advantage is the large selection of different systems. This ensures that the right heat pump is found for every need. Many models such as brine water heat pumps or air water heat pumps can be used in single or two-family homes. Modern pumps can guarantee a heat output of 1.7 to 46 kW. These pumps are considered to be particularly effective. With an air water heat pump, a power of 3 to 9 kW is possible. This is ideally suited for a single-family home. For many homeowners, ground source heat pumps are particularly popular. These pumps are relatively cheap compared to other systems.

Different heat pumps

Depending on requirements, a wide variety of types of heat pumps are available. One of the possibilities is an air water heat pump. This uses the outside air as a natural source of energy. This means that when the outside temperature is very high, the use of an air to water heat pump is definitely worth it. However, if the outside temperature is very low, then the efficiency of the heat pump drops accordingly. However, such pumps can be very helpful all year round to save energy. Another option is a water water heat pump. It draws its heat from the existing groundwater. In this process, the stored solar energy of the groundwater is taken, which can be an effective and sensitive heat source for a house. An important prerequisite for the year-round use of such a heat pump is that at all temperatures sufficient groundwater is always available. As an energy source, heating also brings great benefits. This heat can be used by special brine water heat pumps. In this system, the geothermal energy is extracted with geothermal probes and earth collectors. About a high quality heat exchangersthe geothermal energy is converted into a pure energy.

Save energy with the help of a BAFA grant

Many heat pumps that have an EHPA quality seal are recognized by the BAFA (Federal Ministry of Economics and Export Control) for a state subsidy. These seals are awarded to heat pumps through an independent review of design documentation, quality and efficiency. Decisive for the financing is the COP value.
