Air-to-Water Heat Pumps
If you’re contemplating installing a heating system in your house, you aren’t alone.
Most homeowners in Europe and America are looking forward to investing in smart home solutions that embrace modern technologies including energy-efficient heat pumps.
Certainly, your home has unique energy requirements. Irrespective of its size, location, or climate, an air conditioner will offer an efficient cooling and heating solution for your family. These technologies/systems help reduce electricity bills and cut greenhouse gas emissions by leveraging the energy of the air to produce heat energy for warming your home and heating water for household use.
Recently, Air Source Heat Pumps, or ASHPs have become immensely popular technologies as an efficacious method of controlling temperature inside your house. In particular, two types of technologies have garnered tremendous attention over the past few years. They are air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps. The former is essentially a typical air conditioner that comprises indoor systems like floor consoles, wall-mountable components, and conduits that circulate heated or cold air inside your home. The latter is a special type of pump that transmits heated air from outside your house to water inside your home, which is then circulated via radiators and other components. Also, in addition to cooling, an air-to-water heat pump provides hot water for domestic applications. This post focuses on air-to-air heat pumps, their working principle, benefits, and installation.
