š Heat Pumps: A Cornerstone of Eco-Friendly Heating and Cooling
Discover why heat pumps are hailed as an environmentally friendly solution...
Australian homeowners are turning to eco-friendly options for heating and cooling their homes. Some are embracing a novel technology called a heat pump. This article explains how heat pumps work, the benefits of using them, and how they can be applied in the home. The heat pump is the perfect technology for the āgreeningā of the home because itās efficient, versatile and environmentally friendly. It can keep your home comfortable all year round, while reducing your contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.
Because heat pumps move rather than generate heat by combustion, they can be an extremely efficient method of modulating home temperatures. While it is obvious during the winter that the outdoor air or ground is well below indoor temperatures, removing heat from that outdoor air or ground and reversing the process during summer can cool or warm your home with great efficiency, which is why all heat pumps can do both. It is much less expensive and inconvenient to have one system rather than two.
Because of Australiaās huge variation in climate, some parts of the country are very hot in summer and some are much colder in winter, while others are milder. Heat pumpsā flexible technology is well-matched to the diverse conditions across the continent, from the humid summers of Queensland to the cool winters of Victoria and Tasmania. You can also choose a heat pump suited to the way you live ā from multiple indoor units in a couple of rooms to a single outdoor unit that serves a large area. The trick to getting the best performance from your heat pump is choosing the right type, and the right size for your space.
But with a switch to heat pump technology, Australians not only contribute to an environmentally sustainable future but also immediately benefit from lower energy costs and enhanced indoor comfort, as heat pumps improve.
