The following is a basic explanation of how a heat pump works.
Overview
Heat pumps move stored solar energy from the ground into the home to provide a total solution for Domestic Hot Water (DHW) and all heating needs.
Because heat pumps simply move energy, rather than creating it by burning fossil fuels, they are very efficient. For every 1KWhr of electricity consumed by the heat pump it can produce 4KW of heat. This gives an efficiency of 400% sometimes stated as a Co-efficient Of Performance (COP) of 4:1.
