Heat pumps have been around for a long time.
Every house has a heat pump in the form of a fridge or freezer.
A heat pump about the size of a dishwasher will heat a 2000 sq foot (185 sq metres) house for a fraction of the
operating cost of a similar oil burner. Increasing oil prices make the operating economics of heat pumps more attractive.
.
There are three main types of heat Pumps available here in Ireland.
Heat pumps are very economical, for every unit of electricity
used to power the heat pump, 3 to 4 units of heat are generated. They work best in conjunction with low temperature heat
distribution systems e.g. underfloor heating.
Because they require electricity to run, they are most cost
effective when they can use night rate electricity.
This requires a night rate meter. A buffer store is required to maximise efficiency as this allows the heat pump to store heat on a constant basis, releasing it as and when required.
