The best way to save money while heating water in your home is using a heat pump!
If you are building a house or want to invest in more efficient and sustainable equipment, this article is for you. The Heat Pum is an equipment that transfers heat from a cold source to a hot one. It´s the most efficient alternative to the conventional water heaters, both electric and gas, and you can save up to 70% in energy! It’s the best option if you want to reduce your electric bill and carbon footprint.
How does a heat pump work?
The heat pump uses the heat energy from the environment, dehumidifies it and transfers it to a heat exchanger wrapped around the accumulator. In this way, it is possible to heat the water at a cost approximately four times lower compared to electric water heaters and gas water heaters.
One of the most important factors in installing a heat pump is where it will be located. The heat pump takes advantage of the hot air in the spaces, increasing efficiency in the production of DHW (Domestic Hot Water). However, as it dehumidifies the air in the room, it helps in drying clothes, preventing damage caused by humidity. Therefore, installation in technical areas, pantries, garages and cellars is highly recommended.
The most reliable way to choose the capacity of your heat pump is by the number of baths per day:
- 2/3 baths/day – 200 liters
- 4/5 baths/day – 250 liters
- 5/6 baths/day – 280 liters
And you can increase your savings if you have a solar system for converting solar power into electric energy.
