Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from one location to another, using a small amount of energy to move heat instead of generating it directly. It can be used for both heating and cooling buildings, making it a versatile and energy-efficient option for temperature regulation.
How long does a heat pump last?
Heat pumps typically last between 20 and 25 years in residential settings, depending on how often they are used. The part that wears out the most over time is the compressor, but it has a long lifespan and can be replaced by a technician if needed.
Efitherma is a heat pump manufacturer that designs their products to last longer. They include features like titanium anodes in the tanks to prevent corrosion, helping the heat pump perform efficiently for many more years.
Why are Heat pumps so efficient?
Heat pumps are highly efficient because they move heat instead of generating it. They extract heat from the air, ground, or water and transfer it where needed, using much less energy than systems that create heat.
Their efficiency is measured by the Coefficient of Performance (COP), often greater than 1—meaning they produce more energy as heat than they consume as electricity. Modern advancements allow heat pumps to work well even in cold climates, and they can provide both heating and cooling, making them a versatile, eco-friendly choice.
Can I install a heat pump with photovoltaic panels?
Yes, a Heat Pump is very easy to integrate with other forms of renewable energy such as photovoltaic panels.
What is a Thermodynamic Panel?
A thermodynamic panel is a renewable energy system that heats water or air by absorbing heat from the environment (air, rain, wind, or sunlight). It is an evaporator on a refrigerant circuit. It works like a heat pump combined with solar technology and can operate in any weather, even at night. The panel is best orientated in a southerly direction but can be east or west orientated if needed.
The panel warms a refrigerant, which is compressed to generate usable heat for hot water or heating systems. It’s highly efficient, eco-friendly, and reduces energy bills by using minimal electricity.
Does a Heat Pump improve the energy efficiency of your home?
This process uses much less energy than traditional heating or cooling systems, such as electric boilers or heaters, which generate heat from electricity or by burning fuel. Heat pumps can therefore offer the same or better comfort, but using less energy, making them more efficient and economical in the long run.
How is a heat pump different from a traditional system?
Heat pumps are more energy efficient than traditional systems, as most of the heat comes from the outside ambient temperature and only electricity is needed for heat transfer. A sustainable system that does not require fossil fuels, such as natural gas, propane, fuel oil or pellets. In addition, they can operate for heating, cooling and domestic hot water, making them a versatile option for climates with significant seasonal changes.
How do I save on my electricity bill?
Heat pumps require electricity to operate; however, they manage to generate a much higher amount of energy than they consume, which is where savings occur. In other words, they use an amount of electricity that is less than the amount of (renewable) heat energy they capture from the environment. Using Photovoltaic panels in conjunction with a Heat Pump will result in greater savings.
Do I need to replace my cylinder?
Our retrofit Green E Pack System can be fitted to suit existing cylinders depending on the quality of the cylinder. We would recommend on using a cylinder with a separate coil.
How many panels do I need?
For Thermodynamic systems a single panel will suffice up to 300 Liters. A two panel system can support up to 500 Liters.
