Heat pumps are systems that transfer heat energy from a lower temperature to a higher temperature (hot source), by inverting the natural thermal flow (in which heat is carried from warm mediums towards cooler ones). This flow capability works whether one wishes to provide heating or cooling with a single piece of equipment. In heating mode, the system supplies the room heat…

Heat pump technologies include phase change, thermoelectrics, thermoacoustic and magnetic coolers. HVAC and other phase change cooling methods are mechanical in nature. Phase change works by using a volatile gas (a refrigerant) that is mechanically compressed to a liquid with low energy and then pumped through a loop. The refrigerant is evaporated on a heat source, absorbing…

What’s the best heating system to have for cold snaps: my standard A/C system with heating or should I look into investing in a heat pump? The best heating system for a Florida home always depends on how chilly it gets where you live and how warm you like to keep your home when it gets cold outside. A/C systems with heat strips Most Florida homes, like yours, have a straight…

An air source heat pump (ASHP) is a system which transfers heat from outside to inside a building, or vice versa. Under the principles of vapor compression refrigeration, an ASHP uses a refrigerant system involving a compressor and a condenser to absorb heat at one place and release it at another. They can be used as a space heater or cooler, and are sometimes called “reverse-cycle…

The Heat Pump is very simple once you understand the basic concept (and I promise you will after reading this). As the name suggests a heat-pump transfers or pumps heat from one place to another, (notice the use of the word “pump”- heat is not generated but rather is moved). As they say “a picture worth a thousand words”. So let’s see one: In this Example: The flame heats up…

(NAPS)—When a new heating system is in your home’s future, you’d be wise to consider the pros and cons of heat pumps and furnaces. Both distribute air through a home using heated air rather than heated water. A heat pump does this by extracting heat from outside air and circulating it through your home. A furnace uses electricity or gas to produce heat. The following tips can…

Recently I ve learned of two people running their heat pump in a way that costs them a lot of extra money. With heat pumps, there s an extra setting on the thermostat. In addition to heat, cool, and off, there s a setting for emergency heat. But what is that setting for? What does it do? A heat pump, as I wrote before, pulls heat from the outside air (unless you have a ground…

The ground absorbs nearly half of the solar energy our planet receives. As a result, the earth remains at a constant, moderate temperature just below its surface all year round. However, air temperature varies greatly from summer to winter, making air source (traditional) heating and cooling least efficient when you need it the most. Geothermal heating and cooling systems take…

Heat pumps can provide cost-effective and energy-efficient heating, cooling and water heating for homes and businesses. While traditional systems burn fuel to create heat, a heat pump instead works by moving heat into or out of a building. Though they require electricity to operate, efficient heat pumps can provide the same amount of heating for a third of the electricity needed…

An air-source heat pump can provide efficient heating and cooling for your home, especially if you live in a warm climate. When properly installed, an air-source heat pump can deliver one-and-a-half to three times more heat energy to a home than the electrical energy it consumes. This is possible because a heat pump moves heat rather than converting it from a fuel like combustion…

Today class, we will be discussing, anyone? Anyone? The Heat Pump, that s right, the dreaded Heat Pump. Some people love them, some people hate them. But for all of the heat pumps being used and for as long as they have been around, they are still extremely misunderstood, misused and improperly maintained. And because of this, they have been given a bad wrap. Today class, we…

How do you know if should upgrade your air-conditioner to a heat-pump and create a dual-source application during replacement this Summer? I personally always prefer the option of multiple fuel sources, particularly since energy prices have been all over the place during the last decade. Fortunately, based on average energy prices, there is some simple math to figure out if…

Heat pumps move heat from one place to another. Some can pump heat both out of and into a building, for cooling or heating. Air conditioners (or chillers for large-scale systems) are a kind of heat pump that can only pump heat out of a building, but can do it slightly more efficiently than bi-directional heat pumps. Small-scale heat pumps. Heat pumps are important for efficient…

We had to make so many decisions when we built our new construction home. I didn’t realize it at the time (having never built a home before), but perhaps our most important decision-making centered around the HVAC system. The trend in new construction these days is toward energy efficiency, and we were completely on board with that. And living where we do on the Delmarva peninsula…

A heat pump is an electrical device that extracts heat from one place and transfers it to another. The heat pump is not a new technology; it has been used in Canada and around the world for decades. Refrigerators and air conditioners are both common examples of this technology. Heat pumps transfer heat by circulating a substance called a refrigerant through a cycle of evaporation…
