House heating based on modern methods heat pumps is gaining an increasing number of supporters. They evaluate not only the environmental friendliness of this type of solutions, but also the guaranteed return on investment. The number of installed heat pumps, i.e. heating devices that obtain energy from natural sources - most often from the ground, air or surface water - increases significantly every year. It is important that when choosing a heat pump, you should not only consider the price, but primarily the technical parameters of the device and the technology used. Get to know the latest ranking of heat pumps and decide which solution will work best in your home.
Why are heat pumps currently the most frequently chosen method of home heating?
Using heat pumps is extremely simple, and the possibility of drawing energy from natural sources is extremely tempting. A wide selection of this type of devices on the market allows us to perfectly select the size and power of the heat pump to suit our needs and capabilities. The size of the house, the possibility of placing the heat pump in a separate room and using the device for both heating and cooling rooms - these are all factors that determine the choice of a specific model.
Becoming independent from electricity suppliers is becoming a standard of modern construction. Although purchasing and installing a heat pump is a serious investment, a wide selection of models allows you to find the perfect solution for any home - both those that are already standing and those that are being built as a project.
Heat pumps are a great idea not only for home savings, but also for improving energy efficiency and fighting to reduce the amount of pollutants emitted into the atmosphere. Although their purchase involves a significant investment, this type of solutions are co-financed by government programs such as Clean Air. Before choosing a specific heat pump, it is worth checking whether the model meets the program requirements.
What should you pay attention to when choosing a heat pump?
Choosing a good quality, reliable and economical heat pump is quite a challenge. The first criterion of our choice should be the type of pump we intend to install. We can choose from "air-air", "air-water", "water-water", "ground-air" and "ground-water" devices. Heat pumps using energy from the ground require serious interventions in the ground around the house, and "water-water" pumps use water from deep wells, which is often a major barrier and ultimately narrows the field of choice. Air-to-air heat pumps collect heat from solar energy and use it to heat or cool the air inside the building. The same applies to air-water heat pumps. External heat is also used to heat domestic water. In terms of infrastructure, the devices function successfully with standard low-temperature radiators as well as with an underfloor heating system.
A technical indicator that is worth taking into account when choosing a specific heat pump is, among others: COP (Coefficient of Performance), i.e. the ratio of the heat obtained to the electricity needed to produce it. The higher the COP value, the greater the efficiency of the heat pump. No less important is the thermal power of a given pump. Each building and room has different heating needs that a given heat pump will have to meet. Another important factor that will help us narrow down our choice is whether we want to use the heat pump only for heating or also for cooling rooms as part of an existing system. air conditioning.
To be able to use the selected heat pump effectively, before purchasing it, it is also worth paying attention to whether a given model works effectively at very low external temperatures and selecting the model to the conditions that we can actually provide it with. For many customers, another extremely important factor in the operation of a heat pump is the noise level it generates, so when purchasing it is also worth paying attention to the number of decibels emitted by a specific device.
Which heat pumps are leading in the popularity rankings?
Analyzing industry rankings, internet forums and research results of heating technology specialists, it can be seen that the Polish market is dominated by "monobloc" heat pumps that use the power of air in inverter technology. This type of solution automatically adjusts the device's capabilities to our current heat demand. Investors who decide to purchase a heat pump usually want to use the device for both heating and cooling rooms, as well as heating domestic water. Comprehensive all-in-one solutions are not only more profitable, but also significantly reduce our carbon footprint in the natural environment.
Although heat pumps are chosen primarily because of their functionality, many people also pay attention to the appearance of the device casing. No wonder - the shape of the heat pump affects, among other things, to reduce vibrations and the level of emitted noise. Moreover, a compact device is easier to fit into the usually very limited dimensions of "technical" rooms.
Another important factor determining the choice of a specific solution is an intelligent, clear and intuitive system monitoring the operation of the heat pump. Thanks to this, we maintain full control over energy consumption, which significantly increases the comfort of use.
