Heat pumps are a great way to save money on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.

This post will explore how they work, what the benefits are and how much they cost. Heat pumps are an amazing way to save energy and money. They use a refrigerant to move heat from one location to another, in a process that’s called “heat transfer.” When the systems are used properly, they can provide both heating and cooling during the year.

A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from one location to another. It uses an external energy source, like electricity, to move heat from one place to another. The most common type of heat pump in the United Kingdom is the air-source or water-source heat pump.

These are systems that transfer heat from outside air (air-source) or from water (water-source) into your home. They can also be used to heat pools and spas.

Air-Source Heat Pumps

An air-to-air heat pump transfers heat from the outside air into your home via a refrigerant compressor, which moves it between two coils: one inside your house and one outside on an outer wall or roof. The hot coil passes the heat through a pipe into your house, where it is warmed by your home's air before being released back outside through another pipe. The refrigerated coolant then circulates back to the outdoor unit where it begins again. Although these units have been around for years, they're gaining popularity as energy prices rise and people look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint.

Water-Source Heat Pumps

Water-source (or closed loop) heat pumps use circulating water instead of refrigerants as their working fluid — making them much more environmentally friendly. The system uses the same basic principle as an air-source heat pump, but instead of using outdoor air to move heat from your home to the outdoor coil, it uses water that has been warmed by your home's heating system (or hot water tank).

This can cut down on energy use by up to 75 percent compared with conventional electric resistance heating.

I hope you found this article useful. It's well worth considering adding a heat pump to your hot tub to help save energy and keep the environment clean.
