ergy efficiency and sustainability are two landmarks that more and more people are taking into account, both at a collective level and in personal choices. Therefore, more and more people who own or live in a house with a yard want to balance personal comfort with energy efficiency when it comes to choosing heating solutions for their homes.
The hybrid system, consisting of a heat pump with a gas thermal power plant, proves to be an ingenious answer to current requirements for energy efficiency and adaptability.
Main advantages of the hybrid heating solution with air-water heat pump
Uses outdoor air as a source of renewable energy
Lifespan of up to 25 years
Reduced maintenance cost compared to any other heating system
Works for both heating and cooling the home
Compatible with other systems and equipment, depending on consumption needs: boiler, fan coil units, radiators (calorifers), underfloor heating, photovoltaic panels.
How does the hybrid heating solution with air-water heat pump work?
The air-water heat pump transfers thermal energy from one medium to another. In heating mode, the pump extracts heat and moisture from the outside air, and the compressor heats the refrigerant to a higher temperature so that it can facilitate heat transfer with the interior of the house.
For moments when the outdoor temperature drops drastically and more thermal agent is needed, the thermal power plant takes over the heating so that the system always provides increased energy efficiency. The average outdoor temperature at which the exchange between the two units takes place is around -10 degrees Celsius.
The heat pump can operate both in winter and summer for cooling the house. Depending on the season, it reverses the process, but it needs fan coil units or underfloor cooling to fulfill the cooling function.
In addition, to significantly reduce electricity consumption, the heat pump works perfectly with photovoltaic panels that provide the necessary solar energy, which will make your home even more environmentally friendly.
