Heating with a heat pump is significantly less energy-consuming than using an electric furnace

 




  A heat pump absorbs heat from the cold outside air and transfers it into our home. To that end, an inside-the-device compressor uses electricity to raise the temperature of the heat extracted from the outside air. By transferring warm indoor air to the outside, the heat pump can also provide cooling.

  A heat pump is a flexible and efficient cooling and heating system. Heat energy is transferred from the air to the refrigerant by blowing air over an evaporator coil. That heat energy is carried by the refrigerant to a condenser coil and released as a fan blows air across the coil. Heat pumps do not emit CO2, but they do require electricity to operate. In comparison to your boiler, which may operate at around 90% efficiency, a cooling system may operate at over 300% efficiency, producing 3kW of heat from 1kW of electricity.

  Heat pumps do, in fact, save you money on your energy bills. This means lower electricity bills for a more comfortable home – heat pumps are very cheap to operate, increasing your electric bill by an average of $75 monthly per cooling system that is constantly running in the home.

  Heat pumps are a proven commodity that not only provide Mainers with an efficient way to deliver warmth to specific areas of their homes but they are also increasingly being installed as their primary source of heating. A heat pump consumes significantly less energy than an electric or gas furnace. Because heat pumps and air conditioners work on the same principle during the summer, the costs to cool your home with either will be roughly the same.

  Heat pumps, in general, are far more efficient than air conditioners, furnaces, and other types of heating systems. An air source cooling system's efficiency ranges with both 175 and 300 percent, while a solar thermal pump's effectiveness ranges between 300 and 600 percent.
