Какво е термопомпа? България

Термопомпата е система, която може да осигури едновременно охлаждане и отопление, което я отличава от климатик, който само охлажда, и пещ, която само отоплява.

When to Consider Using a Heat Pump

Replacing an air conditioner: If your existing air conditioner has failed and your furnace is old or you lack a heating system at home, it's wise to replace the AC with a heat pump.

Replace or add heating: For homeowners looking to replace an old heating system or install heating where there wasn't any before, a heat pump is a cost-effective option.

Remodel or new construction: It's the best choice as it takes up less space with fewer equipment pieces.

How a Heat Pump Works

Similar to air conditioners when cooling, air-source heat pump systems run refrigerant in one direction like a one-way street for cooling.

But when heating is needed, a reversing valve changes the refrigerant flow direction (akin to traffic on that one-way street reversing).

The system uses many of the same components for both cooling and heating the refrigerant, though it can only offer cooling or heating independently at a given time.

Benefits of a Heat Pump

Намалена поддръжка: With fewer equipment pieces in the HVAC system, homeowners have less to maintain.

По-висока ефективност: It's among the most efficient products on the market, helping save energy and cut monthly utility bills.

Рентабилен: Buying one heat pump is cheaper in the long run than purchasing an air conditioner and a furnace separately.

Опция за отопление: In areas like EU where not all homes have heating due to mild climate, upgrading from an AC to a heat pump improves home comfort affordably.

Electricity-based: Powered by electricity, it's appealing for those with low electricity rates or those generating solar power on-site.
