Heat Pump Efficiency
Heat pump efficiency is obtained when a ground source heat pump or an air source heat pump takes low temperatures of energy from the ground, the bottom of a pond, or from the air, and turns it into a useful higher temperature.
Heat pumps deliver a low carbon, efficient form of water and space heating. When the electricity for the heat pump is from renewable sources, CO2 emissions will be eliminated.
The principle is the same as that of a refrigerator, but in reverse. The power required to run the compressor is practically the only primary energy needed for the heat pumps operation making the use of a heat pump highly efficient. The systems are highly reliable and virtually maintenance free. This results in efficient heat pump systems running in continuous operation for more than 25 years without developing any faults.
