Heat Pumps

A heat pump works more or less like a refrigerator, only that it has an opposite purpose. The interior of the refrigerator is a heat exchanger system, which removes the warm air, so that the temperature inside the refrigerator becomes lowered. The heat pump withdraws the heat. The heat pump then absorbs the heat again, but a higher temperature is obtained in order to heat water for industrial purposes.

Heat sources

The heat sources used are the soil, groundwater or the atmosphere. The soil has a depth of 10 m and a constant temperature of +10 degrees Celsius in winter. First, a hole at least 10 m deep is dug in the ground. Two connected tubes go through this hole, the heat transfer medium being a liquid. The heat is removed and the rising liquid is transported in the heat pump in order for a higher level temperature to be available for heating purposes. Use only high quality plumbing tools. Similar work soil collectors are to be routed at a depth of about 1 m to 1.5 m. Longer tubes are laid in the ground for sufficient heat to be escape, so that the heat pump reaches the higher level required. Groundwater, pumped up blogs and the heat from the water enable the heat pump to reach the higher level required. The cooled water travels through the tubes into the ground. The outside air can be sucked in and sent to a heat pump.

Heat pump costs

You must have in mind the costs necessary for the planning, preparation and installation of a heat pump, but also for the fact that they depend on the local conditions very much. Experts have also reached a consensus and claim that heat pumps reach the highest level of efficiency when in the floor.

Heat pump costs - Planning is important

A heat pump basically generates energy by reversing the so-called combined heat and power process - that is the process that all refrigerators use every day. In principle, heat pumps take the energy from the ground, air or water sources and generate excess heat. These different functional principles give you a hint on the preparatory measures required for the installation of heat pumps. Dug pits or shafts and devices are appropriate to the setting up of the heating support. Of course, it also depends on the surface to be covered, a larger surface involving more money. Therefore, the cost estimates with heat pumps are not universal. Therefore, it is recommended that you ask for the opinion of specialized companies before making a move.



General heat pump costs

Apart from these costs, you also have to take some precautions with regard to the installation of the heat pump and efficient insulation planning, including well-insulating windows. Thus, you should seek to make long-term savings by operating a heat pump. Ideally, the heat pump can provide hot water through solar panels, which can further submit the hot water to the heating system. If the system also has sufficiently large hot water storage heaters, you can generate heat during the day and save it so that you can use it in the evening. Heat pump costs are very relative because they are influenced by a lot of factors, some of them not being within your reach
