Heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners for all climates. They use electricity to transfer heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. Because they transfer heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can improve the efficiency of water heaters & dryers.
Heat pumps can be used when space is scarce and as a backup for solar hot water system, solar dryers. Even with an electric water heating system, using a heat pump can reduce the power requirement by 30%. |
