Heat Pump Operation

If you happen to think about how to cool a hot building, you generally wouldn’t think about a heat pump, in fact you are more likely to think about an air conditioner instead, that is if you could afford to buy one. You might want to deploy a window fan also. However you will be shocked to find out that a heat pump can both heat and also cool and in some applications is can be more popular than a separate heat and cold source. Acton Plumbers have trained plumbers who can fit heat pumps. The heat pump is a unit that uses a small amount of energy to move heat from one point to another. You would think this is simple right? Heat Pump:The heat pump works by taking heat from the air or the ground to provide a heat source to heat a house or office, but they can also be used to cool as well. If you are familiar how an air conditioning unit works like an Acton Plumber does, then you already know a lot about how this pump works. This is because heat pumps and air conditioners operate the same. The most advantageous thing comparing the heat pump against any other system is that there is no requirement no need to fit separate systems to do both. Heat pumps are efficient and effective, because they simply move heat, rather than use fuel to create it. Therefore, they are greener than a gas burner. If you’ve ever been in a heated swimming pool, you probably have the heat pump to thank. So if you experience extreme heat and cold in your part of the world, using a heat pump instead of a heater and air conditioner will help with your energy bills.
