Heat Pump basics

The Heat Pump is a fantastic device Renewable Energy for Heating and Cooling from an own Energy Source

Ground Source Heat Pumps Free Heating from own property

Exhaust Air

Heat Pumps

• Heating for buildings and

domestic water

• Exhaust air as the heating

source

• Together with hydronic

circulation in new built houses

• Replacement of oil or electric

boilers in connection with

ventilation renovations in old

houses

• Also for large buildings

Air-to-Water

Heat Pumps

• Heating for buildings and

domestic water

• Outdoor air as the heat source

• Complementary to oil heating or

electric heating with hydronic

circulation

• Öljylämmityksen tai

vesikiertoisen

sähkölämmityksen rinnalle

• For both new buildings and

renovations

Air-to-Air

Heat Pumps

• Finland has been the promised

land for electric heating

• Electricity is the heating source in

more than 500 000 houses

• Likewise in 500 000 summer

cottages

• Alternatives

• Large electricity bill

• Air-to-Air Heat Pump

• Wood

• Reduction of in-house

temperature

• Conversion to a hydronic

circulation system

Contribution from different Heat Pump types Assuming 25 000 kWh/a in electricity consumption or 3 000 l/a in oil consumption

1) Electricity and oil 0,13 €/kWh (electricity 13 c/kWh and oil 1,1 €/l with 80% annual operating efficiency)

2) Investment cost including installation, excluding heat delivery system

3) Including ventilation device, excluding channel installations
