Çfarë është një pompë nxehtësie?
Një pompë nxehtësie është një sistem që mund të sigurojë ftohje dhe ngrohje, duke e dalluar atë nga një kondicioner që ftoh vetëm dhe një furrë që vetëm ngroh.
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
Mirëmbajtja e reduktuar: With fewer equipment pieces in the HVAC system, homeowners have less to maintain.
Efikasitet më i lartë: It's among the most efficient products on the market, helping save energy and cut monthly utility bills.
Kosto-efektive: Buying one heat pump is cheaper in the long run than purchasing an air conditioner and a furnace separately.
Opsioni i ngrohjes: 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.
