How much do you save with a heat pump?
Introduction
A heat pump is a smart choice for your house. You can save on your energy bill as well as help the environment because you reduce the CO2 emission. In this article, we'll tell you more about this.
Lower gas consumption
A heat pump heats your house with electricity. Thanks to this, you can lower your gas consumption. Do you choose a hybrid heat pump? Your boiler only turns on on a cold winter day or when you use a lot of warm water. You can lower your gas consumption with 80% with this. a fully electric heat pump replaces your boiler, so you won't use any gas anymore.
Lower CO2 emission
Because the heat pump heats your house, you have less CO2 emissions than when you do this with a boiler. That's because you use less fossil fuels. According to Milieu Centraal, you have 50 to 65% less CO2 emissions. This is around 30% for a hybrid heat pump.
The COP of heat pumps
The COP (Coefficient of Performance) of a heat pump indicates how much you save in the long run. This number indicates how much heat a heat pump supplies per unit of consumed electricity. If a heat pump has a COP of 4, this means that the product supplies 4kWh of heat and uses 1kWh for this. The higher the COP, the better the heat pump. An other important specification is the SCOP, the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance. This number indicates how efficient the heat pump is during different seasons. When it's colder outside, a heat pump provides less energy.
