The issue of heating a residential building or a small industrial facility becomes relevant in the cold season. The choice of heating equipment will depend on many factors. The priority areas will be the ability to connect to the already existing utilities network, natural gas and electricity. A heat water pump may be the most cost effective solution. A preliminary miscalculation and selling by reference guarantee economic benefits.
Principle of selection
Before giving preference to the operation of the heating system, it is necessary to consider the situation from all sides. Make sure it is economically and operationally wise:
1. The pump, where water is used as an energy carrier, has proven itself most efficiently in heating small residential buildings. The equipment must work in constant mode for the entire heating period.
2. The heat pump is more efficient in tandem with underfloor heating than with classic radiators.
3. The pump is equally well suited for living quarters, offices and small production areas up to 500 m2.
4. In some cases, heating equipment can be used as an air conditioner during the warm season.
Important: the cost of the equipment will quickly pay off if you initially take into account all the important factors of choice. Conversely, incorrect calculation, connection and operation will not give the desired effect.
Equipment cost
The price should include not only the heat pump itself, but also additional equipment for its installation. Design and implementation of engineering systems. Ground source pumps are quite expensive, but their installation fully pays for their subsequent operation without the need for regular and expensive maintenance. The price will include the following items:
- heat pump;
- installation of the heating system;
- drilling a well and installing equipment;
- work on connecting auxiliary mechanisms;
- laying and insulation of pipelines;
- setting the system for normal operation.
The result of the work done will be an environmentally friendly way to heat the building. With proper operation, the payback will come in a few years. Compared with similar equipment running on natural gas. But, provided that the heating system is connected to a reliable source of electricity.
