A heat pump is able to extract heat from the air, ground or water and concentrate it to provide heating for water or indoor areas. The only energy required is that which is used to concentrate the thermal energy – so the system can provide a heat output up to four times larger than the energy input. A heat pump can potentially reduce heating costs by more than 50%.
By reversing the process heat pumps can also be used for cooling during the summer. Thus, a single system can produce space heating, space cooling and hot water.
